This literature review summarizes the psychometric properties of 12 measures used to assess readiness to change substance abuse. Assessment methods vary, and include algorithms, self-administered questionnaires, and clinical ratings. We describe each and summarize reliability and validity information. Some measures have poor psychometric properties, whereas limited psychometric data are available for others. No single measure emerges as best for use in clinical settings, and promising candidates differ regarding target population and assessment method. Although the Transtheoretical Model inspired much of the empirical work on readiness to change, the psychometric literature provides inconsistent support for the stages of change. Readiness to change may best be conceptualized as a multidimensional and continuous construct with complex relationships to behavior, cognition, and environmental context.

St. Louis Rams coach Dick Vermeil said he would stay on the job indefinitely, not retire after the 2001 season. “The retirement statement that was made was blown out of proportion,” Vermeil said. “I hope I’ve put that to rest.” Vermeil, 6-0 with the Rams this season, had a total of nine wins in his first two seasons in St. Louis. So before the season, he said people only wanted to know what he was going to do when he got fired.

In a brazen act of civil disobedience, thousands of members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement have descended on Beijing in recent days and weeks, hoping, the members say, to press the Government to reverse its condemnation. Today, for the third straight day, small groups of unrepentant Falun Gong devotees trickled onto the vast expanse of Tiananmen Square, staging silent, almost private protests. They were hard to discern among the tourists and local people who always fill the area, but patrolling plainclothes police officers stopped and questioned suspicious people. Dozens who admitted that they were Falun Gong adherents were quickly led away to buses. ”We plan to stay until Falun Gong is rehabilitated,” he said. ”We are here to appeal to the central Government. The ban on Falun Gong will be regretted by history.”

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young said Wednesday he will neither retire nor go on season-ending injured reserve because of his fourth concussion in three seasons. Young, 38, said he still has complications – headaches, lethargy and general wooziness – from his latest concussion, suffered Sept. 27 against Arizona, but said that does not preclude him from playing again. Coach Steve Mariucci said the team discussed putting Young on injured reserve, but Young pleaded for patience, and out of respect to him the team is allowing more time before making a decision.

The study examines the patterns and predictors of cigarette consumption among 920 female smokers aged 16-49 who formed part of the British Household Panel Survey, a representative survey of households in Britain. The study assesses the influence of three key factors: socio-economic circumstances, psychological health and partner’s smoking status. The study confirms that female smokers are more disadvantaged than the broader population of women, both with respect to their socio-economic circumstances and their psychological health. Within this disadvantaged group, higher cigarette consumption was linked to greater socio-economic disadvantage and poorer psychological health but not partner’s smoking status. Age and pregnancy status also had an independent effect on consumption. Of these factors, being in poor psychological health was the single most powerful predictor of high rates of consumption. The implications of the findings for health promotion are discussed.
