Lead questions you need to answer:

What type of behavioural intervention would you recommend your patient (strongest evidence) to generate change in targeted (modifiable) health behaviour (e.g., diet, stress, smoking) and population (e.g., adult lung cancer patients). Contrast and compare empirical evidence to support your choice of intervention(s) for your population group

Justify why this is an appropriate intervention for your population group with reference to the different dimensions of the bio-psycho-social model.

Evaluate potential strengths and weaknesses in the plan, e.g. in terms of patient adherence to recommendations. Explain how your treatment plan could serve as an example of ‘Evidence- Based Medicine’.
