Note: This analysis compares those participants who began in one of the pre-action categories and either maintained this status (N = 41) or moved to Action/Maintenance (N = 62). Those who began in Action/Maintenance and remained in Action/Maintenance at 6 months (N = 43) were excluded from the analysis. Two participants were later dropped because of missing treatment data: the first began in stage 2 readiness at the start of the intervention and advanced to stage 3 by end of the intervention (6 months); a second participant was found to be in stage 3 at the start of the intervention and at 6 months.

^†Items in parentheses indicate reference category.

^*Items in bold indicate significance.

^aRecoded into dichotomous variable: white/non-white.

^bCoded as a dichotomous variable: living alone/living with others.

^cRated from 1 = not difficult at all to 4 = very difficult.

^dCoded as a dichotomous variable: CES-D< 16/CES-D ≥ 16.

CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale.
