The high prevalence of CHD, especially among diabetic populations, necessitates the urgent implementation of behavioral interventions in the Tehranian population, according to evidence-based guidelines for the clinical management of diabetic patients.

Self-monitoring is an important component of clinical practice. It is underpinned by the framework of self-efficacy which is concerned with judgments of how well one believes one can achieve or perform a task. This research aimed to develop criteria for adequate self-monitoring, then to measure patterns of self-monitoring, and to explore how these patterns relate to a student's year in a medical course and to patterns of knowledge. Analysis of individuals' levels of correctness in answering assessment items and their certainty in correctness may be used to inform assessments of ability to self-monitor. Two criteria were proposed and applied to define adequate self-monitoring. Firstly, increasing proportions correct with increasing levels of certainty. Secondly, having a proportion correct for high certainty responses that was not lower than cohort levels. Student responses in progress tests comprising multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and associated certainty were analysed. Criteria for the presence of ade tend to match patterns of knowledge, but not in all cases, suggesting the self-monitoring measure could provide additional information about student ability. Analysis of responses to item level certainty has informed development of a definition of adequate self-monitoring that may be applied to individual student's respon
