Popis: Purpose The purpose of this article is to describe how Resources and Supports for Self Management (RSSM) and strategies of the transtheoretical model (TTM) intersect to produce a comprehensive approach resulting in cutting-edge diabetes programs. Methods Specific components of RSSM, especially individualized assessment, collaborative goal setting, and enhancing skills, are reviewed in terms of contributions to the TTM. Results Specific examples from the Diabetes Initiative of using TTM constructs from 5 projects are shown to illustrate the first 3 RSSM constructs: individualized assessment, collaborative goal setting, and skill building. Conclusion Diabetes Initiative grantees have demonstrated that the TTM enhances RSSM and facilitates the adoption of good diabetes self-management behaviors.
