AB  - Everyday  behaviors  and  decisions  have  a  dramatic  impact  on  morbidity  and  mortality1;  it  is  estimated,  for  example,  that  30%  of  all  cancers  are  attributable  to  tobacco  use.2  The  risks  of  cervical  cancer,  cardiovascular  disease,  and  car  fatalities  are  reduced  greatly  by  HPV  vaccination,3,4  cholesterol  screening,5,6  and  seat  belt  use,7  respectively.  Consequently,  it  is  important  to  devise  strategies  to  encourage  greater  engagement  in  risk-reducing  behaviors  and  avoidance  of  risk-increasing  behaviors.  To  that  end,  researchers  have  devised  several  theoretically  driven  interventions  to  change  attitudes,  construct  environments,  provide  resources,  strengthen  social  support,  and  influence  peer  norms  in  ways  conducive  to  healthy  and  safe  behaviors.8–12
