Precontemplative and Contemplative—
Practice Exercise
While it is important to be familiar with each of the stages of change, research has shown that 85 percent of people who come in to test at California state-funded HIV test sites are in either the pre-contemplative or the contemplative stage. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between these two stages, but it is important to understand the difference, since the interventions will be very different for each stage.
Read the statements below in the left column, then click and drag the statement to the column you feel is the appropriate state of change. If you dragged the statement to the correct column, then you'll get the thumbs up. If incorrect, you'll get a thumbs down. Either way, you will see the correct answer on the far right with the reason why it is either precontemplative or contemplative.
Don’t worry: there are no grades for this game. I just want you to feel comfortable with understanding the differences between the two stages.
