Using Targeted Questions to Evoke Change Talk
Using Targeted Questions to Evoke Change Talk
In this week’s Discussion, you had an opportunity to practice evoking change talk from the service user in the case study you were assigned in Week 2 to help them move beyond ambivalence. For this Assignment, you will have another opportunity to practice evoking change talk. This time, you will practice using the DARN CAT acronym to generate targeted questions to evoke change talk.

To Prepare
- Review the Learning Resources on evoking change talk. Pay particular attention to the DARN CAT acronym for generating questions to elicit change talk.
- Read the service users’ statements in the Targeting Questions: Evoking document in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how you would use the DARN CAT acronym to generate questions to evoke change talk in response to each service user’s statement.
By Day 7
Submit a 1- to 2-page paper that addresses the following:
- Write two targeted questions to evoke change in response to each of the statements using the Targeting Questions: Evoking document.
As in Chapters 5and 8, this is an opportunity to practice forming good questions, but this time targeting clients in evok ing. Once again, you will read aclient statement and then form two different questions. Because change talk requires a specific target behavior, and this information is not presented in these statements, you will have to infer. You may also have to use a reflection to get into your question. This is always good practice, so feel free to do so. You can use all the different types of question you learned in this chapter and in the prior one ("Recognizing Change and Sustain Talk"). Feel free to thumb back through the chapters to refresh your memory.
Later, we will return to these prompts as we discuss developing other sorts of questions for the planning phase.
