Chain Analysis for Behavior Change

The document provides a template for analyzing problem behaviors using a chain analysis approach. It prompts the user to identify: 1) the major problem behavior, 2) the prompting event that started the chain, 3) vulnerabilities in oneself or the environment, and 4) thoughts, emotions, sensations, urges, and consequences of the behavior. It then asks the user to identify skills that could have broken the chain of events and whether they were willing to do things differently.
