The SMART-EST goal framework facilitates both a rich discussion of lifestyle medicine and a comprehensive patient-centered action plan for health behavior change. The tenets of the SMART-EST goal-setting process are discussed.

Goal setting and attainment are critical skills for young people with disabilities as they plan for their postschool lives in areas such as employment, postsecondary education, and community life. This article presents an analysis of the types of goals set by transition-age students with intellectual disability over 3 years while supported by teachers to use an evidence-based practice to promote self-determination, the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI). Teachers implemented the SDLMI as part of a statewide effort to enhance the transition to integrated employment for students with intellectual disability exiting high school. Findings reflect students’ desire to plan for multiple aspects of their lives in the adult world and the criticality of examining teacher expectations and how they relate to instruction and supports for students engaging in the goal-setting process. Limitations and implications for research and practice are discussed.

Goal setting has been described as one of the most valid and effective theories of work motivation. In this study the authors report on the development of the Goal Setting Support Scale (GSSS), a self-report measure of supervisory support received, designed specifically for the goal-setting process. Supervisory support is identified as an important element of the goal-setting process, yet existing measures are criticized for being inadequate. To address this, the proposed scale is based conceptually on House's typology of social support. Based on the findings across four managerial samples ( N = 369), the measure evidenced favourable psychometric properties. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
