Transtheoretical Model or Stages of Change

For your fourth assignment, you will describe the stages of change, processes of change and preferred intervention(s) for your chosen behavior (minimum 2 pages).

Describe the 5 or 6 stages (i.e., precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and, if applicable, termination) of change and apply them to your health behavior.

Describe the processes of change that enable each stage change (i.e., consciousness raising, dramatic relief, environmental reevaluation, self-liberation, self-reevaluation, helping relationships, counterconditioning, reinforcement management, and stimulus control). Please refer to page 132, Table 7.2 for the Processes of Change That Facilitate Progression Between Stages of Change.

 Describe the preferred intervention(s) for each stage.

 Describe your level of confidence in your ability to change your behavior.

Students are required to describe the stages and processes of change for a significant health behavior. In describing the processes of change they are required to design a community-level intervention to change the behavior based on at least one behavior theory.
