Abstract

Lifestyle medicine seeks to treat the root cause of chronic medical conditions through lifestyle medications, including diet and exercise habits, tobacco and alcohol use, and mental health. Skills Before Pills is a novel, multidisciplinary, 8-week group appointment series aimed at promoting lifestyle change to address chronic medical conditions developed by the physicians at South Burlington Family Medicine. The aim of this project was to construct a quality improvement survey to collect patient feedback on the series with the goal of continually improving the course to promote long-term, positive, change in behavior.
