Kotecki and Bruce D. Clayton  \nABSTRACT  \nThe current study provides measures of association between self-reported beliefs of currently practicing pharmacistsand pharmacy students’ beliefs about, willingness to provide, and preparedness to provide counseling on nutrition and physical activity following completion of a health education unit. A 3-week health education unit focusing on the pharmacists’ role in nutrition and physical activity counseling was developed and implemented in a required nonprescription drug therapy pharmacy course for fifth-year doctor of pharmacy students. As expected, the majority of pharmacy students postintervention believed that diet and physical activity health-related behaviors were very important for the average adult. Furthermore, significantly more pharmacy students believed that it was their professional responsibility to educate patients about diet and physical activity, felt more prepared to educate on diet modification and physical activity, and felt more comfortable with implementing behavioral-modification strategies to help patients achieve change than currently practicing pharmacists. The importance pharmacy students assigned to diet and physical activity health-promoting behaviors indicates that a similar health education program may help currently practicing pharmacists sharpen their skills in these areas.  \nUnhealthy eating and physical inactivityare major contributing factors to many chronic medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2002) . Each of thesediseases is associated with prolonged illness and disability that decrease the quality of life for millions of Americans annually. The current recommendations/guidelines from many national organizations and expert panels (e.g., American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of  \nHigh Blood Cholesterol in Adults [ATP III], Joint National Committee Report on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure [JNC-6]) advise that the first-line approach (before drug therapy) for treating these chronic diseases is making lifestyle modifications related to nutrition and physical activity (Byers et al.,  \n2002; CDC, 2002 Krauss et al., 2000) .  \nThe need for patient counseling on nutrition therapy and physical activity has been recently promoted by the American Pharmaceutical Association (APhA) as an excellent opportunity for pharmacists to expand their provision of pharmaceutical  \ncare services (Dombrowski, 1999; Dombrowski & Ferro, 1999). Infact, for the past three decades the pharmacy profession has been broadening its role to include a range of patient-centered services beyond the traditional product-oriented functions  \nJerome E.
