Abstract

The escalating prevalence of chronic health problems related to lifestyle is extremely costly to organizations. It is likely that organizational consultants will have increasing opportunities to plan and implement interventions at the individual level for health behavior change. This article describes the importance of such consultation, emphasizing the role of coping in the behavior change process. In addition to identifying relevant research and theoretical literature, specific recommendations for how to conduct lifestyle change consultation are discussed.
