Question

Sarah has started reading books on weight loss and fitness and has decided she needs to improve her fruit consumption and physical activity. Sarah is in which stage of change?

Answer 1

Answer:

Contemplation

Explanation:

'Contemplation' is the stage of change in which people are willing to change themselves and begin to propagate a healthy behavior in the upcoming six months. At this stage, they are well aware of the pros associated with this changed behavior but a little less aware of the consequences. Sarah would be called to be in this stage as she has decided to adopt a healthy behavior('started reading books on weight loss and concerned about her diet and physical activity'). This reflects that she is aware of the pros of this change but a little about the consequences associated with it.
