Given the high incidence of mortality attributable to diseases often preventable through behavioural change, it is important that models of behaviour change and intervention be continually evaluated. As such, the Trans- theoretical Model (TTM) of behaviour change is reviewed within this book. There is much empirical support for the TTM; however, several critiques are noted.
