We conducted an independent pilot test of the internal consistency, stability, and predictive validity of the instrument presented by Crittenden, Manfredi, Lacey, Warnecke, and Parsons (1994) using a two-wave panel of female smokers in 12 public health clinics. This instrument subdivides the precontemplation stage proposed by Prochaska and DiClemente into three more distinct stages: not contemplating quitting or cutting down, not contemplating quitting, and not contemplating quitting within 6 months. Findings confirm that the instrument is useful for evaluating movement toward quitting for populations that are largely concentrated in the precontemplative stage. The concurrent and predictive validity of the elaborated stages and the reliability and stability of smoking motivation and confidence indicate that the instrument is sensitive enough to track changes in readiness and motivation across the full readiness continuum.
