Hi Jana

Mastellos et al (2014) have a nice description of using the TTM/SOC theory and how patients move along the readiness to change in diet & PA studies.

Good luck!

This is helpful. I’ll

Have to sort through to find a measure that will work for us.

You can benefit from the following links.

Hi Jana,

Maybe you'll find the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) Questionnaire helpful. Below the original publication reference.

Sorry I am 'late' - the question somehow popped up now.

Hi Jana and all,

SoC/TTM measures are already mentioned. I have used a brief version of a Stages of Change measure (5 items, each item correponding to one of the five stages) to assess motivation for physical activity; you may look into it. The reference is:

Best wishes, Tore
