The Scenario: You are part of a group of health professionals called to address the health needs of a community in Australia or in your home country. You have convinced the group that primary or secondary prevention is important and that as part of this prevention, the group should understand the determinants of the risk behaviours in the population/community. The group has agreed and has decided to focus on one behaviour to start with. You will need to decide on the behaviour you want to address now.
