“…A study of adolescent smokers comparing the Contemplation Ladder, the URICA, and two different stage algorithms found comparable concurrent validity for the Crittenden Algorithm (Crittenden et al, 1998) and the Contemplation Ladder, which was superior to the concurrent validity of the other measures (Stephens et al, 2004). There was also evidence for convergent validity among the Contemplation Ladder and the two stage algorithms.…”

“…This model lays out stages of change that include pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Several types of instruments have been designed to measure the stages of change including rating scales (Miller and Tonigan, 1997;McConnaughy et al, 1989), algorithms (Crittenden et al, 1998), and visual analogs (Biener and Abrams, 1991).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine if a modified version of the Contemplation Ladder, a measure of motivation to change marijuana use among incarcerated adolescents (Marijuana Ladder; ML), was related to marijuana use and treatment engagement. Participants (N = 122) in this study were all incarcerated at a state juvenile correctional facility in the Northeast. Adolescents were assessed at the beginning of their incarceration, 2 months into their incarceration, and 3 months after their release. There was a significant negative relationship between ML scores and marijuana use and a significant positive relationship between ML scores and treatment engagement. When controlling for prior marijuana use and age, ML scores at baseline significantly added to the prediction of marijuana use and treatment engagement among incarcerated adolescents. Results support the concurrent validity and the predictive validity of the ML. This measure has the potential to provide important information for Juvenile Justice Facilities that might aid in treatment planning and discharge planning for incarcerated adolescents. In addition, researchers may find a quick visual analog measure of motivation to change marijuana use with good psychometric properties useful.

In the Stages of Change model these changes in quitting plans and these changes smokers are called precontemplators. When seemed to follow a certain order. Forward developing interventions designed to motivate changes in plans were differentially related to these smokers to quit, it is of importance to positive outcome expectations, to self-efficacy know whether this group is homogeneous or expectations depending on the quitting plan not.

“…Action was a 5-point scale reflecting the sum of the first 3 actions taken (0 to 3) or having quit (4). Readiness to quit, an extension by Crittenden and colleagues 37 of Prochaska and DiClemente's stage measure, 38,39 had the following categories: (1) planning no change in smoking, (2) seriously thinking of cutting down but not quitting, (3) seriously thinking of quitting but not within the next 6 months, (4) contemplating quitting within the next 6 months, (5) preparing for quitting, and (6) action (quitting). Motivation to quit was the sum of three 4-point items reflecting desire to quit, desire to cut down, and determination to cut down.…”

“…These scales have adequate reliability and validity. 37,40,41 The independent variables were study condition (baseline and control vs experimental) and exposure to smoking cessation intervention components (assessed in the postintervention interviews). The clinic service where the women had their medical visits (prenatal, family planning, well-child) was a control variable, because of variation across the services in the prevalence of smoking interventions offered in normal practice 35 and in pre-and postvisit smoking outcomes.…”

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effectiveness of a smoking cessation program for women in public health clinics, controlling for reported exposures to 4 common intervention components (provider advice, booklet, video segment, posters) among smokers in the control group. METHODS: After a baseline control period, 10 pair-matched clinics were randomly assigned to study groups. A total of 1042 smokers in the combined baseline and control groups and 454 smokers in the intervention group completed a preintervention questionnaire and a postintervention telephone interview 5 to 8 weeks later. Eight smoking outcomes, including quitting, were analyzed for the effect of reported exposure to intervention components, experimental program, and clinic service. RESULTS: Greater exposure to intervention components, being in the experimental program, and being seen in prenatal clinics independently improved smoking outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The number of interventions reported by smokers in the control group ranged from none to 4 and varied across clinic services. The experimental program we tested produced better outcomes than the minimal smoking cessation interventions already existing in the control clinics, after we controlled for whether smokers were or were not exposed to these interventions.
