SECTION C: TTM STAGES OF CHANGE


In thinking about the future, many people make plans for what they will do when there are big changes in their life, such as changes in their employment, such as retirement, changes in their home or where they live, or changes in their physical ability.

In this section of the interview, I will read several statements to you about what you might be doing to prepare for changes in your life. For each statement, please tell me how strongly you disagree or agree with each statement. On a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is strongly disagree and 5 is strongly agree, how much do you agree with the following statements?


[REPEAT RESPONSE OPTIONS AS NEEDED.]


[IF RESPONDENT HAS DIFFICULTY REMEMBERING THE RESPONSE CATEGORIES, SUGGEST THAT HE/SHE WRITE DOWN THE RESPONSES WITH A NUMBER BY EACH:
