B) Which, if any, of these adaptations did you identify as something that would be helpful in moving you through the stages of change? C) Why were program participants at different stages of change in the same class sessions and how does this support one of the adaptations made to the model? D) What was done to provide support to the participants to maintain the changes made? Website for Question 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1637793/ 2. Utilizing the Transtheoretical model please address the following unhealthy behavior (60 Points): You are part of a group that will be working with a group of individuals that would like to increase nightly sleeping to the recommend 7-8 hour of sleep. All participating members of the intervention currently report sleeping less than 5 hours a night and have been identified to be in the preparation stage of change. Explain the processes involved with this intervention as you work to progress your participants towards maintenance (in other words, discuss how you would utilize the TTM (all components) to aid the individuals participating in the student through the stages utilizing the processes of change).
