We examined the relation of physicians' clinical specialty, personal health habits, and health-related beliefs to their practices in counseling about smoking, weight, exercise, and alcohol. We surveyed a random sample of members of a county medical society in selected specialties. Physicians with better personal health habits and more positive attitudes toward counseling counsel a broader range of patients and counsel more aggressively. Surgeons counsel less than nonsurgeons, even after controlling for differences in health-related attitudes and personal habits.
我们研究了医生的临床专业、个人健康习惯以及与健康相关的信念与他们在吸烟、体重、运动和饮酒咨询方面的实践之间的关系。我们对选定专业的县医学协会成员进行了随机抽样调查。具有更好个人健康习惯且对咨询持更积极态度的医生会为更广泛的患者提供咨询，并且咨询方式更积极主动。即使在控制了与健康相关的态度和个人习惯差异之后，外科医生提供的咨询仍少于非外科医生。
