Determining Your Stage of Change

1. Complete the URICA Scale and determine your sub-score for each of four stages: Precontemplation, Contemplation, Action and Maintenance

2. Complete the Short Form by simply responding “yes” or “no” to the four statements. You may type the statements and then identify which stage they place you in.

3. Write a 1 page paper in which you compare the two assessment tools, discuss the stage that each assessment tool placed you in, and discuss which stage you believe you are in. Which scale do you find to be more accurate and/or useful? Please discuss.

4. Please include BOTH your completed URICA Worksheet and the paper with your assignment submission.
