Motivation required for changing behaviour -

For many, taking temporary medication is prompted mainly by symptoms of illness.

Identifying obstacles to behaviour change using the CREATE model

Condition	Current Status if participant were ill	Obstacle (Y or N)	Possible Improvements
Cue to think about taking action	About to eat (if should be taken with food) Arrive somewhere (e.g. take it when you get home) Do something (e.g. prepare breakfast or wake up)
Emotional Reaction
Conscious Evaluation of costs and benefits	Feeling that taking the medication will make you feel better
Ability to act (resources, logistics, self-efficacy)	Have medication with them (pills) Have other tools necessary to administer medication (e.g. water or can get water to take with medication) Is in convenient location to take medicine (e.g. not in a work meeting)
Timing and urgency to act	Have an empty stomach (if meant to be taken on an empty stomach) Have food/just eaten (if meant to be taken with food)
