Background: A 21-question Lifestyle Medicine Assessment (LMA) tool was recently developed to quickly evaluate the lifestyle medicine domains (Avoidance of Substance Use, Nutrition, Connection, Movement, and Recovery). In this study, we used the LMA tool to complete a preliminary analysis of family medicine providers, a group that is known to face challenging lifestyle demands and burnout. Objective: The primary purpose was to assess the LMA domain scores and determine if significant differences exist (among the domains). The secondary purpose was to complete a correlation matrix for the LMA domain scores to better understand the strength of the relationships (among domains). Methods: The participants were 35 family medicine providers and all completed the LMA. The maximum LMA score is 50 (each of the five domains is scored 0-10 points). Pairwise comparisons were used to determine if there were significant differences among the five domain scores (P < .05) and Pearson correlation was used to assess correlations between domains.
