What is the transtheoretical model of change?

People progress through stages before making change:

1. Pre-contemplation – no plans to take action


2. Contemplation – acknowledges need for change


3. Preparation – intends to take action immediately


4. Action – actively implements the behaviour


5. Maintenance – strives to prevent relapse


6. Termination – problem is no longer a threat



Cyclic – people move through the stages in order, however relapse to earlier stage is possible.

What are interventions for health behaviour change?

1) Raise consciousness – awareness of benefits and risk


2) Self-reevaluation – pride vs. guilt


3) Promote self-efficacy – you CAN do it. Praise, positive feedback, persuasion,  and reassurance increases confidence.


4) Enhance the benefits of change – add immediate rewards and reinforcement, use baseline data to measure progress


5) Control the environment – eliminate or restrict cues to the undesired behavior


6) Manage barriers to change -  clear goals, skill, feeling of control of the environment, motivation.
