Habit Formation Intervention to Improve Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Behaviors: A Feasibility Study

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Findings suggest that the occupation-based intervention was feasible and showed promise for developing self-management behaviors. What This Article Adds: Habits are considered foundational to occupations, yet application of the science of habit formation is often not well understood by occupational therapists. This study considered the theoretical components of habit formation that have been neglected by prior studies and demonstrates the feasibility and preliminary effect estimates of a habit formation intervention when used with people with Type 2 diabetes.PMID:37994806 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050351
