Hi there. I now begin to understand that evaluating the changes in behaviors of patients with chronic conditions is very important. Could you please elaborate more for me?

No worries.

Thanks for the information.

Of course. Actually, not only is changing certain behavior important for many patients but sustaining behavior change is critical as well. Besides, several experts stressed the need to evaluate whether behavior change is sustained over time. Hence, program evaluation should be assessed at many points along the chain of effects.
