我很高兴地欢迎保罗·特里博士加入他作为健康促进艺术编辑的新职位。特里博士是我所认识的最多产、最好奇、最注重服务的人之一。他罕见地将科学家的严谨方法、项目负责人的务实和孩子的想象力结合在一起。这些特质来自他三十年的健康促进经验，在此期间，他担任过获得C.Everett Koop奖的项目的开发者，津巴布韦一所教育机构的教授兼院长，高级富布赖特学者，现在担任StayWell健康管理公司的首席执行官。虽然我担任美国健康促进杂志(AJHP)健康促进艺术(TAHP)栏目编辑的主要动机是有机会支持和影响一个面向健康促进专业人员的关键教育场所，但我也对有机会定期玩这款派对游戏的健康专业版充满热情，“如果你可以坐下来和世界上任何一个人聊天，你会选谁？”采访是最可靠的方式之一，既能快速切入思想的本质，又能一瞥一个人不可模仿的品质。向TAHP部分的读者传达我打算继续为他们带来可在实践中使用的有价值的想法的最令人信服的方式是什么？我选择从这位业内最多产的名人之一开始，问他如何最好地将他所学到的行为改变应用于我们作为实践者目前正在应对的一些最令人困惑的挑战。你将了解到，詹姆斯(吉姆)普罗查斯卡博士发明的变化阶段(SOC)理论最初是受到一篇文章的影响，这篇文章主张需要更好地整合心理治疗的原则。有趣的是，这篇文章最初发表在《周六评论》上，是普罗查斯卡博士在采访中提到的众多文章之一。《评论》在当时是一本有影响力的杂志，由另一位开创性的健康教育学者诺曼·考辛斯出版。随之而来的跨理论模型(TTM)可能是过去20年来在健康促进领域中研究和应用最多的结构之一。想象一下--一篇写得很好的文章确实可以帮助一个专业和一个研究领域形成一个新的方向。我对TAHP的雄心就是那么简单，也就是那么宏伟。接受普罗查斯卡博士的采访就像坐下来看一大堆百科全书一样；因此，我带着非常明确的议程来进行讨论。正如你将在采访中看到的，我们不仅深入研究如何最好地利用他的研究成果，而且还探讨了他对当前对他理论的批评。普罗查斯卡博士深思熟虑、镇定自若、和蔼可亲，无论是分享他和他的同事们新的科学发现带来的兴奋，还是回应那些建议完全贬低他的工作的批评者。对于大多数人来说，用一句俏皮话来说，“你是一个绅士和学者”是一个随意的表达。反思我与普罗查斯卡博士的讨论，并考虑到他对我们理解成功戒除坏习惯需要做的巨大贡献，我认为他是这一表达原意的化身。我的感觉是，普罗查斯卡博士出奇地宽宏大量，因为他深深植根于做正确的事情，并允许科学证据成为持续辩论、分歧和发现的基础。保罗·E·特里博士，编辑
I am delighted to welcome Paul Terry, PhD, to his new role as Editor of The Art of Health Promotion. Dr. Terry is one of the most productive, inquisitive, and service-oriented people I know. He has the rare combination of the rigorous approach of a scientist, the pragmatism of a program leader, and the imagination of a child. These traits come from his three decades of experience in health promotion, during which he has served as developer of programs that have won the C. Everett Koop Award, professor and president of an educational institute, Senior Fulbright Scholar in Zimbabwe, and now as CEO of StayWell Health Management. Although my primary motivation for serving as editor of The Art of Health Promotion (TAHP) section of the American Journal of Health Promotion (AJHP) is the opportunity to support and influence a key educational venue for health promotion professionals, I am also enthused about the opportunity to regularly play the health professional edition of the party game, “If you could sit down for a chat with anyone in the world, who would you pick?” Interviews are one of the surest ways to cut quickly to the essence of ideas and get a glimpse into the inimitable attributes of a person at the same time. What is the most convincing way to convey to readers of the TAHP section that I intend to keep bringing them valuable ideas that they can put to use in their practices? I opted to start by teeing up one of the most prolific luminaries in the profession and asking him how best to apply what he has learned about behavior change against some of the most perplexing challenges we are presently tackling as practitioners. You will learn that Dr. James (Jim) Prochaska’s invention of the stages of change (SOC) theory was initially influenced by an article that argued for the need to better integrate principles of psychotherapy. It is interesting to note that the article, one of many that Dr. Prochaska references in this interview, was originally published in The Saturday Review. The Review was an influential journal in its time that was published by Norman Cousins, another seminal health education scholar. The transtheoretical model (TTM) that followed is perhaps one of the most studied and applied constructs informing the field of health promotion in the past 20 years. Imagine—one well-done article can indeed help shape a new direction for a profession and a field of study. My ambitions for TAHP are just that simple and every bit that grand. Conducting an interview with Dr. Prochaska is like sitting down for an hour with a stack of encyclopedias; therefore I came to the discussion with a very clear agenda. As you will see in the interview, we not only delve into how best to put his research findings to use, but also into his take on current criticisms of his theories. Dr. Prochaska is thoughtful, unflappable, and gracious, whether sharing his excitement over new scientific discoveries that he and his colleagues made or responding to detractors who suggest sun-setting his work altogether. For most, using the quip, “You’re a gentleman and a scholar” is a casual expression. Reflecting on my discussion with Dr. Prochaska, and given the enormity of what he has contributed to our understanding of what it takes to successfully break bad habits, I submit that he is the personification of the original intent for that expression. My sense is that Dr. Prochaska is wonderfully magnanimous because he is deeply grounded in doing the right thing and allowing scientific evidence to be the basis for continued debate, disagreements, and discovery.
