In this hour we briefly review how chiropractic health promotion includes more than providing adjustments. Motivational interviewing and different approaches such as OARS and the RULE approach to connecting with patients to gather health related information is discussed. The role of the chiropractor in providing wellness screening including the FIVE A’s and FRAMES approaches for Addressing Health Risk Behavior are surveyed. Resources for further information for further integrative care referral is presented. 

Participants will be able to:
•    Describe some of the fundamental attributes of motivational interviewing techniques
•    Explain the basics of the Five A’s Physician Intervention
•    Be able to describe why any health promotion screening should be accompanied by actionable plan to address any needs that are identified
•    Discuss why it is important to focus on helping patients change health behaviors that they think are important, and when they are ready to make a change.
