Description of 5 R’s Model

5 R’s	Description
Relevance	When using “RELEVANCE”, health care providers should describe that quitting smoking is personally relevant to tobacco users concerning diseases, health risks, and family or social concerns.
Risks	Health care providers should help individuals identify negative consequences (RISKS) associated with the use of tobacco, such as acute risks, long-term risks, and environmental risks.
Rewards	The “REWARDS” are potentially relevant advantages of quitting, such as better health outcomes, improved social interactions, and economic benefits. Health care providers should encourage tobacco users to recognize the benefits of quitting.
Road Blocks	They should explain barriers (ROADBLOCKS) to quitting to their patients which may include dependence, fear of failure, and lack of support.
Repetition	“REPETITION” involves repeating motivational counselling intervention if the patient does not demonstrate readiness to quit smoking.
