TY - JOUR AU - Manoj Sharma PY - 2018/07/04 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Proposing the concept of Perfection Quotient (PQ) as a measure of readiness for health behavior change JF - Journal of Medical Research and Innovation JA - J Med Res Innov VL - 2 IS - 2 SE - Editorial DO - 10.15419/jmri.116 UR - https://jmrionline.com/jmri/article/view/116 AB - Intelligence Quotient (IQ) has been used for a long time to test for readiness of individuals with regard to their learning abilities.  It offers limited utility in ascertaining readiness toward health behavior change.  Work on emotional quotient (EQ) and X quotient (XQ) has been done in recent years but has not been applied for determining readiness toward health behavior change through health education and health promotion interventions.  The purpose of this editorial is to propose a novel concept of perfection quotient (PQ) that integrates IQ, EQ and XQ for ascertaining the readiness for health behavior change through health education and health promotion interventions in a variety of target populations. Such measure will be invaluable in ameliorating the impact of health education and health promotion interventions. ER -
