Because SDL largely occurs outside of clinical duties, relying on motivation alone is often insufficient under the demands of residency. The Fogg Behavior Model (FBM) proposes that behaviors depend not only on motivation but also on prompts and ability. <b>Objective</b> To evaluate whether an FBM-based intervention could improve In-Training Examination (ITE) scores and SDL engagement among first-year obstretrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residents. <b>Methods</b> This quasi-experimental study was conducted at the University of Missouri-Kansas City OB/GYN residency program from 2016 to 2021. Forty-eight first-year residents participated, with 24 in the intervention group and 24 controls. Both groups participated in a structured SDL program, including assigned study topics and a shared Google Drive spreadsheet for tracking progress. The intervention group also received a workshop on how to create effective prompts (external cues) and increase ability by lowering activation barriers through habit stacking and categorizing tasks by energy level. The primary outcome was ITE score. The secondary outcome was SDL engagement, defined as completion of assigned reading topics and logging of self-directed study sessions. <b>Results</b> Intervention group residents had significantly higher ITE scores (206±3.13) than controls (194±3.11, <i>P</i>=.006).
