Abstract
Theoretical background and applied methods of behavior change are cons idered. Among theoretical models used are the follows: transtheoretica l one (J. Prochaska and C. DiClemente), health beliefs (I. Rosenstock, H. Leventhal et. al.) and consumer's information processing (J. Bettm an); much attention is paid to A. Bandura's theory of social learning. As successful application of theoretical notions the medical preventi ve programme <<A Su Salud>> is described.
