The most successful skill-building programs will teach strategies to overcome barriers that usually cause people trouble in making behavior changes, including time, social influences, lack of knowledge, limited financial re- sources, poor access to exercise facilities or healthy food, and other barriers. These will be part of a process of set- ting goals, building skills, practicing the new behaviors, getting feedback, revising goals, and gaining and implementing new skills. Developing an effective skill-building program is not difficult; it is just overlooked by most program managers, many of whom continue to focus on awareness/education efforts.
