Study Notes
Stages of Change Model
- Consists of five stages: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation/determination, action/willpower, and maintenance.
- Pre-contemplation: Individual may not recognize the problem or need for change.

- Preparation/Determination: Individual recognizes a problem and prepares for change. Examples include joining support groups for this stage.
- Action/Willpower: Individual commits to change and implements a plan. Celebrating success can reinforce this behavior.
