This study compared stage of change measures among adolescent smokers. Participants were 56 adolescents who had received smoking tickets. They filled out an assessment packet including readiness to change measures [i.e., algorithm, Crittenden's measure, University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA), and Ladder], smoking history, a 30-day calendar, Fagerstrom, self-efficacy measures, locus of control, and a problem screen. The Crittenden algorithm was correlated with the Ladder and URICA motivation scores as well as with decreased frequency/amount of smoking and past quit attempts. Ladder scores were correlated with less cigarettes smoked, self-efficacy, and fewer adolescent problems. Readiness to change was unrelated to nicotine dependence and locus of control. The classification of participants into stages by the Crittenden algorithm was associated with a significant MANOVA (Wilks' Lambda F=1.56, P<.025), with group differences on reported quit attempts, abstinence self-efficacy, and adolescent problems. The Crittenden measure and the URICA motivation score were sensitive to a MET intervention. |
