Abstract
This article describes two modifiable risk factors contributing to chronic disease in Scotland: excessive alcohol consumption and physical inactivity, and discusses evidence-based health promotion measures to address these factors. It illustrates examples of medical, behaviour change, education, client-centred and societal change approaches to health promotion. The article emphasises the need for nurses to engage in a wide range of approaches to health promotion and not merely to rely on telling patients what to do.
