stages of change theory
Definition
- The stages of change (SOC; also known as the transtheoretical model, or TTM) theory was originally developed to explain the processes of behavioral change in the context of smoking cessation. It has subsequently been extended to other addictive behaviors (including alcohol and drug abuse) and to health behavior change interventions more generally (including HIV prevention, treatment adherence, exercise, and bullying).
