# Behavior Change, Health 2.0, and the Unmentionables

Susannah Fox guided a discussion of a combination of tools, content, and community changes that factor into health improvement. But what actually drives behavior change? And are we even asking the right questions? In a first for Health 2.0 we’re featuring a series of brief presentations, brand new survey results and discussion of what no one in health care wants to talk about–the "Unmentionables."
