This is an innovative study focused on comparison of two alternative interventions to foster health behaviors. The investigators will develop and test a computer-based, longitudinally tailored, print material intervention and complementary computer-based, longitudinally tailored telecounseling intervention among a generalizable group of 3,100 individuals served by the Henry Ford Health System. The effectiveness of the two generalizable interventions will be measured, both individually and in combination, in achieving behavior change of four targeted health behaviors: smoking, diet, sedentary behavior and alcohol problems. This project will look at both tailored print materials and tailored telecounseling interventions as potentially cost-effective, generalizable approaches to addressing multiple risk behaviors.
