The stages of change model was developed by James Prochaska, PhD, director of the Cancer Prevention Research center and professor of Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, and Carlo DiClemente, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. The stages are based on the idea that people progress through different stages at their own rate before successful behavior change.
