What is a key feature of the Action stage in the Stages of Change Model?

Preparation for change.
Acknowledgment of past behavior.
Initiating behavior change.
Understanding the need for change.

The correct answer is: Initiating behavior change.

The Action stage in the Stages of Change Model is characterized by individuals actively initiating behavior change. This is a critical phase where individuals are not just contemplating or preparing for change; they are taking concrete steps to modify their behavior in a meaningful way. For example, someone in this stage may start attending support group meetings, implementing exercise routines, or making dietary changes. This stage signifies a commitment to change and often involves significant progress toward the goal of behavior modification. The Action stage is distinguished from earlier stages like Preparation, where individuals are still planning their steps rather than taking them, or earlier stages that involve recognition of the need for change and understanding past behaviors without taking active measures to change them.
