computation of a "single continuum readiness to change" score using the URICA
 1. Obtain the average score per subscale using the following grid:
 

  Precontemplation  
        (PC) 

      1. ______ 
      5. ______ 
     11. ______ 
     13. ______ 
     23. ______ 
     26. ______ 
     29. ______ 
TOTAL _____ 
÷ 7 =______(avg) 
 
    Contemplation 
            (C)
      2. ______ 
      8. ______ 
     12. ______ 
     15. ______ 
     19. ______ 
     21. ______ 
     24. ______ 
TOTAL _____ 
÷ 7 = ______(avg) 
 
      Action 
        (A) 
      3. ______ 
      7. ______ 
     10. ______ 
     14. ______ 
     17. ______ 
     25. ______ 
     30. ______ 
TOTAL ______ 
÷ 7 =______(avg) 
 
    Maintenance 
           (M) 
       6. ______ 
     16. ______ 
     18. ______ 
     22. ______ 
     27. ______ 
     28. ______ 
     32. ______ 
TOTAL ______ 
÷ 7 = ______(avg) 
 
 
2.   Compute the "Readiness for Change" score via the following formula:

     (Avg C + Avg A + Avg M) - Avg PC

3.   Compare the Readiness for change score to the following group means.  Choose the
     stage whose group average is closest to the computed Readiness Score:
 
 
STAGE  GROUP AVG
Precontemplation 9.3 
Contemplation 11.0 
Participation (Action) 12.6
Maintenance (Not available) 
 
                               EXAMPLE

1.   Obtain the average score per subscale using the following grid:
 
         Precontemplation 
                (PC) 

      1.     2 
      5.     1 
     11.    1 
     13.    1 
     23.    1 
     26.    1 
     29.    1 
TOTAL        8 
÷ 7 =     1.1   (avg)

              Contemplation 
                    (C) 

      2.     5 
      8.     5 
     12.    5 
     15.    1 
     19.    5 
     21.    5 
     24.    5 
TOTAL       31 
÷ 7 =     4.4  (avg)

                    Action 
                      (A) 

      3.     5 
      7.     5 
     10.    4 
     14.    4 
     17.    4 
     25.    5 
     30.    5 
TOTAL        32 
÷ 7 =    4.6    (avg)

              Maintenance 
                    (M) 

      6.     5 
     16.    5 
     18.    5 
     22.    5 
     27.    5 
     28.    4 
     32.    5 
TOTAL       34 
÷ 7 =    4.9    (avg)
 
 2.   Compute the "Readiness for Change" score via the following formula:

     (Avg C + Avg A + Avg M) - Avg PC = (4.4 + 4.6 + 4.9) - 1.1 = 12.8

3.   Compare the Readiness for change score to the following group means.  Choose the
     stage whose group average is closest to the computed Readiness Score:

     12.8 is closest to the average for participation (action) group; thus, this consumer is
     probably very motivated for treatment at this time
