title: Patient 'buy-in' and prevention.
abstract: Implementing preventive care and achieving adherence to preventive care plans is a difficult task for general practitioners. If we consider the preventive elements of the problems described in the focus articles in this month's issue of Australian Family Physician, or for cardiovascular disease prevention for example, the preventive activity we are asking our patients to undertake can be a 'real ask' and for many, too unpalatable.
