Research on lifestyle programs for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has largely recruited from hospitals and/or recruited following acute coronary syndrome. By contrast, this study evaluated a 3-session behavioral health program for patients with stable CAD treated in an outpatient cardiology clinic. Thirty-three patients were randomized to the behavioral lifestyle intervention or to Treatment as Usual (TAU). A priori feasibility and acceptability criteria were met, and reliable change analyses revealed that at post-treatment and 30-day follow-up, significantly more intervention participants than TAU participants exhibited increased self-efficacy compared with baseline
