<p data-start="194" data-end="587">Behavior reduction is a key domain on therbt behavior reduction quiz​<span id="docs-internal-guid-3b9ad757-7fff-6bc1-60b1-a74834489575"> </span>. It involves implementing interventions to decrease challenging or harmful behaviors while ensuring ethical and safe practices. Practicing behavior reduction questions helps candidates understand strategies, identify appropriate interventions, and prepare for both the exam and real-world client situations.
