提出的证据的有效性的沉思阶梯，准备考虑戒烟的措施。对两个工作场所400多名吸烟者在10个月的干预之前和期间收集的数据进行分析表明，阶梯评分与报告的戒烟意图，以前的戒烟尝试次数，感知的同事鼓励戒烟和社会经济地位显着相关。阶梯分数预测随后参与旨在教育工人吸烟习惯及其偶然风险的计划。阶梯不能预测24小时或更长时间的生化验证禁欲。为了评估其区分先验已知不同准备状态的组的能力，我们在一个基于诊所的戒烟计划中向36名参与者提供了阶梯。正如预测的那样，门诊病人的得分明显高于梯子上的工人。在准备戒烟的最低阶段区分吸烟者的重要性进行了讨论。
Presents evidence for the validity of the Contemplation Ladder, a measure of readiness to consider smoking cessation. Analyses of data collected from more than 400 smokers at two worksites before and during a 10-month intervention indicate that Ladder scores were significantly associated with reported intention to quit, number of previous quit attempts, perceived co-worker encouragement to quit, and socioeconomic status. Ladder scores predicted subsequent participation in programs designed to educate workers about their smoking habit and its contingent risks. The Ladder did not predict biochemically validated abstinence of 24 hr or more. To assess its ability to distinguish between groups known a priori to differ in readiness, we administered the Ladder to 36 participants in a clinic-based smoking cessation program. As predicted, clinic patients scored significantly higher than the workers on the Ladder. The importance of distinguishing between smokers at the lowest stages of readiness to quit is discussed.
