Awareness of issues and health concerns can prompt individuals to change their lifestyle behaviors. In fact, awareness is typically one of the first steps towards behavior change. However, awareness alone does not necessarily initiate or sustain behavioral changes. Specifically, many individuals experience significant barriers that prevent behavior change. Providers can address such barriers through ecological models of behavior change. Including concepts from an ecological model in health care settings can support positive lifestyle behavior change post-diagnosis. Moving beyond awareness alone and addressing barriers to change is an important goal that ultimately increases the probability of change for patients.
对问题和健康问题的认识可以促使个人改变他们的生活方式行为。事实上，认识通常是行为改变的第一步。然而，仅仅有认识并不一定能启动或维持行为改变。具体来说，许多人会遇到阻碍行为改变的重大障碍。医疗服务提供者可以通过行为改变的生态模型来解决这些障碍。在医疗环境中纳入生态模型的概念可以支持诊断后积极的生活方式行为改变。超越单纯的认识并解决改变的障碍是一个重要目标，最终会增加患者改变的可能性。
