Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maintenance stage is when a person has successfully changed their behavior and has been maintaining it for more than 6 months. So, Miranda being in the maintenance stage means that she has been eating properly for at least a year. Options A, C, and D describe the earlier stages of behavior change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, and action respectively), but not the maintenance stage.
