Table 2.

Mean (SD) Servings of Fruits and Vegetables by Stage of Change at Two Consecutive Time Points^*

	Stage of Change
Time Point	PC	C	PR	A	M	Pattern of Differences
T1	1.98 (1.04)	1.97 (1.21)	2.38 (0.98)	5.50 (0.52)	5.48 (0.50)	PC, C, PR < A, M; PC < PR
T2	1.97 (1.09)	2.00 (1.01)	2.34 (1.00)	5.37 (0.51)	5.51 (0.50)	PC, C, PR < A, M; PC < PR

^*PC indicates precontemplation; C, contemplation; PR, preparation; A, action; M, maintenance; T1, time 1; and T2, time 2 (2 months after T1). Differences across stages at each time point were significant at p < 0.001 as determined by one-way analysis of covariance.
