title: Creating risk-sensitive persons: the roles of choice and chance in staying healthy.
abstract: Having examined the relationships between risk-attitude and the practice of preventive health behavior, I suggest practical ways of creating more risk-sensitive patients and health professionals. Personalizing risk and relating health behavior to individual values is a more effective way to create risk-sensitive persons than relating risk behavior to specific diseases.
