title: Disability and health behavior change.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We conducted a review of four health behavior change (HBC) theories (Health Belief, Theory of Planned Behavior, Social Cognitive, and Transtheoretical) to consider how these theories conceptually apply to people with disabilities.
  
  
  METHODS
  We identified five common constructs across HBC theories and examined how these commonalities fit within the International Classification of Function (ICF).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Four of the HBC constructs appear to be Personal Factors within the ICF, while the fifth represents Environmental Factors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Using the ICF framework to understand disability and HBC, we propose that including a sense of meaning as another personal factor will further develop HBC theories that lead to more effective HBC interventions for people with disabilities.
