“…The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1982) theorises that there are six key stages of behaviour change (DiClemente, Nidecker, & Bellack, 2008;DiClemente, Schlundt, & Gemmell, 2004). These six stages include: 'precontemplation' (no intention to take action), 'contemplation' (intend to take action within the next 6 months), 'preparation' (intend to take action within the next 30 days), 'action' (changed behaviour for less than 6 months), 'maintenance' (changed behaviour for more than 6 months), and 'termination' (no desire to relapse).…”

“…The original English version of the stage of change readiness and treatment-eagerness scale (the SOCRATES) was designed by Miller and Tonigan (1996) to assess motivation for behavior change in people with substance use disorders. The SOCRATES is an assessment instrument which can be used to assess motivation for behavior change and predict treatment outcomes among clinical populations (DiClemente, Nidecker, & Bellack, 2008;DiClemente, Schlundt, & Gemmell, 2004;Freyer et al, 2005;Miller & Tonigan, 1996). The SOCRATES consists 19 statements about changing drug using behavior on 5 points Likert scale that ranged from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5).…”

The aim of the present study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Iranian version of the stages of change readiness and treatment eagerness scale, which had been translated and cross-culturally modified into Persian language and back-translated to English. Most specifically, the study sought to validate the Iranian version of the stages of change readiness and treatment eagerness scale, based on the evaluation of two experts. An additional objective was to test the translated instrument for its reliability. For this purpose, the validated instrument was administered to 80 male drug addicts, who were outpatient services at a government rehabilitation center. The results showed the both experts indicated that the items of the translated instrument had very high relevance to their present context. The inter-rater reliability of the scores given by the two experts indicated .805 between the experts' scores for the total scale.The findings showed that the alpha coefficients for the total scale scores at pre-test and post-test were .832 and .787, respectively. Also, the results indicated that the alpha coefficients for all the subscales of the translated instrument at pre-test ranged from .69 to .81. In all the subscales, alphas at post-test ranged from .66 to .79. The Pearson correlation test indicated a high correlation coefficient of .86 between test and retest. In short, the study showed that the translated instrument has very high content validity and high reliability and that it can be used to assess motivation for behavior change and predict treatment outcomes in drug addicts that are receiving treatments in Iran.Keywords: opiate dependency, the stage of change theory, psychometric properties, the stages of change readiness and treatment eagerness scale, Iran

“…In a wide-range of northern-hemisphere countries, telephone counseling improve smoking quit chance in comparison with self-help material (OR = 1.56) 10 . Among substance-abusing individuals, motivation and intentions related to the modification of the addictive behavior play an important role in the recovery process 11 . However there is still a tremendous lack of assessment instruments to systematically describe the diversity of problems associated with psychoactive substance abuse or dependence, the results of appropriate treatments and the effectiveness of interventions.…”

objective: This work was designed to validate the Portuguese version of the Contemplation Ladder, whose purpose is to assess the motivational phase to quit smoking among tobacco users using a telephone service. method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a nationwide drug use information hotline. In order to assess the convergent validation, the correlation between the Contemplation Ladder and the URICA Scale was calculated, which was previously validated. results: The study included 271 tobacco users. Statistically significant correlations were found between the Contemplation Ladder scores and the scores of the URICA precontemplation (r=-0.16; p<0.01), action (r=0.15; p<0.01) and maintenance (r=0.18; p<0.01) subscales. The correlation between the URICA Scale compound score and the Contemplation Ladder was also significant (r=0.31; p<0.01). conclusion: The results of our study suggest that the Contemplation Ladder can be an efficient substitute for the URI-CA scale (whose application lasts at least 20 minutes), without submitting the interviewee to a heavy load of questions. The study presented evidences of convergent validity for the Contemplation Ladder when applied via telephone in tobacco users. de pré-contemplação (r=-0,16; p<0,01), ação (r=0,15; p<0,01) e manutenção (r=0,18; p<0,01)
