Motivation Assessment
Description
This skill provides tools to assess readiness to change and tailor interventions accordingly. Use the brief readiness ruler for fast assessment and URICA access guidance for a more comprehensive profile.
Quick Reference
| Assessment | Items | Time | Purpose | Output | When to Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Readiness Ruler | 1-3 | <1 min | Rapid stage estimate | 0-10 rating | Quick triage, routine visits |
| URICA (access guidance) | 32 | 5-10 min | Detailed readiness profile | Stage scores | Treatment planning, complex cases |

Interactive Administration (Optional)
Use this mode when the clinician says "start" or "administer" readiness screening.
- Readiness Ruler: Ask the 0-10 rating(s) (importance, confidence, readiness) and record scores.
- URICA: Use the official form and scoring guidance; have the patient complete it, then record 1-5 responses and compute stage scores.
- Summarize the stage profile, identify the dominant stage, and offer stage-matched guidance.
Clinical Workflow
- Select tool (brief vs comprehensive)
- Administer readiness ruler or URICA
- Score and identify dominant stage
- Match intervention to readiness level
