Intensive treatment was a stepwise implementation of behavior modification, pharmacological therapy targeting hyperglycaemia, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and proteinuria.
Future research should extend these findings of this study to measuring the effects of more accurate data collection on other functional dependent variables such as accuracy of staff implementation of behavior plans, frequency of maladaptive behavior and amount of prescribed psychotropic medications.
Adequate post-test counselling could help to improve the implementation of behavior change and thus actionability.
In addition, within 5-7 days of each clinic visit, a member of the project staff conducts a brief (≤5 minutes) telephone call with the mother to review the visit, discuss initial implementation of behavior change and any problems encountered with the behavior change, and assess the fidelity of the intervention rendered by the medical teamlet according to the mother's perception of the interaction.
The implementation of these behaviors and strategies is described in the paper along with the results from a validation study.
The proposed approach has advantages during the implementation of dynamic behaviors, but it requires that users stop conceiving robotic tasks as the execution of a sequence of actions.
More abstractly, the dynamic implementation of cellular behaviors can be viewed as a selected, 'winning' (or at least stable) strategy in an evolutionary game [12], [27].
The implementation of safety behaviors is more likely if parents have received safety training.
Our findings revealed that incorporation of motivational interviewing principles into safety education programs had the positive effect of enhancing workers' knowledge, attitude, and, particularly, implementation of safe behaviors.
Structuring the course over more than one session supports the implementation of new behaviors [ 74], therefore allowing an evaluation of the transfer of skills from theory to practice.
