certain personal behaviors (i.e., staying-up late to socialize even though they may need to
get-up early for work), how does diet and exercise effect endurance and performance, etc.
This information is essential to change the attitudes and behaviors of individuals within
the personal level, as well as, provide the reasoning and justification for the command to
make the necessary changes to the organizational and environmental levels of the CEM
model. The CEMS tool provides an education resource library, located in the
"Endurance Resources" section of the tool that the WG can use to give this training.
With education as a foundation, members are ready to begin exploring opportunities to
control endurance risk. The RFA tool used in Step 2 is also used to navigate users
through the CEM Model to explore endurance risk control options.

Exploring endurance risk factor controls
If you have not completed an RFA (Step 2) please do that now, an endurance risk profile
is required to complete Step 3. With the endurance risk profile on the CEM Tool screen,
a `drill-down' approach is used to move the user from general to more specific
information related to controlling a particular risk factor. To drill-down for control
information, left-click on the colored bar for the risk factor of interest. The CEM Model
appears (Figure 4). The user now left-clicks on each of the levels to bring up control
information related to this level.
