Second, measures of DT are only proxy measure of one aspect of creativity, as we and numerous other researchers have noted [5], [22], [29], with this measure "having to do with fluency of thinking and flexibility of thinking, abilities concerned with the ready flow of ideas and with readiness to change direction or to modify information" [21].
Secondary outcomes were a negative AUDIT result at 12 months, experience of alcohol related problems (alcohol problems questionnaire), health utility (EQ-5D), service utilisation, and patients' motivation to change drinking behaviour (readiness to change) as measured by a modified readiness ruler.
The first outcome will be assessed by a questionnaire completed by the mother, or with assistance from the County Counselor [ 28, 29]; the second outcome, readiness to change, will be assessed using a maternal-report "Readiness Ladder" modified for this study [ 30].
Participants also completed the EuroQol to measure quality of life, 27 a short service use questionnaire, 28 and a modified readiness ruler with one question (and four response categories) to measure patients' motivation or "readiness to change" their drinking behaviour.
Readiness to change, the importance of change and confidence in changing will be measured using the Readiness to Change Questionnaire [ 52] which researchers have modified for the weight loss context.
An improved understanding of offenders' readiness to change would enhance our ability to assess and engage such readiness.
Readiness to change physical activity was not related to readiness to change dietary practices.
Readiness to change fat intake was strongly correlated with readiness to change vegetable intake [ 15].
Readiness to change physical activity and dietary practices were not related (discrepant stages of readiness).
Furthermore, it only assesses readiness to change responsibility and does not assess transition-readiness directly.
