The committee has established the need for a sick child clinic in an impoverished neighborhood
The demographic data have been collected, and the committee is ready to meet with a group of local businesspeople who are willing to support the project financially. The plan is for the committee and group to combine to facilitate the establishment of the clinic. Using a transtheoretical model, which level of readiness has the committee achieved?
A) Contemplation
B) Preparation
C) Action
D) Relapse
Ans: B
Feedback:
The stages in a transtheoretical model are as follows: precontemplation (no screening programs scheduled and no intention to schedule screening); contemplation (no screening programs scheduled but intent to start a program soon); preparation (no definite screening program but have taken steps to develop a program); action (developed a screening program and intent to sustain the program); maintenance (have had the program for some time and intend to continue); relapse (had a program, do not have a program currently, but intend to have one soon). The committees in this case are in the preparation stage, as they have taken steps to start the clinic but have not actually started it yet.
