| Summary: | Addressing the burden of chronic disease
begins at home. Many of the leading causes of ill health in
member countries in the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) are caused, at least in
part, by modifiable risk factors like diet, physical
inactivity, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption, among
others that become embedded in families' daily
routines, making change difficult even when they want to
adopt healthier behaviors. Once chronic disease or an acute
episode strikes, effective management likewise requires
patients to be active partners in designing and managing
their own care. New solutions are needed to make it easier
for families and individuals to sustain long-term care for
chronic conditions; to help them become active partners in
their medical care; and to empower them to adopt and
maintain new behaviors for longer and healthier lives |
