Key result
Primary care behavior change interventions are hindered by patient difficulty, limited resources, and lack of evidence.

The implementation of multiple health behaviour change interventions for cardiovascular risk reduction in primary care is suboptimal and barriers and facilitators need to be identified.
Design
Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework

Barriers may limit multiple behavior change interventions in primary care; leaves open effective implementation strategies for future research.
Healthcare professionals face significant barriers in delivering multiple health behaviour change interventions for CVD risk reduction in primary care, highlighting the need for supportive environmental contexts and better resources.
Alageel et al. (2018) studied Cardiovascular disease risk reduction (n=30). Multiple health behaviour change interventions was evaluated on Barriers and facilitators to implementing multiple health behaviour change interventions. Healthcare professionals identified patient difficulty with sustained change, lack of evidence, and limited resources as major barriers to implementing multiple health behavior change interventions in primary care.
