Description:
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) (Prochaska, Diclemente, & Norcross, 1992) proposes that the stages-of-change construct can serve as useful tool for identifying those most at-risk of treatment dropout [Prochaska, J. O. (1999). How do people change, and how can we change to help many more people? In M. A. Hubble, B. L. Duncan, & S. D. Miller (Eds.), The heart and soul of change (pp. 227-255). Washington: American Psychological Association]. While researchers have found mixed support for this claim in adult samples, studies have not yet tested this issue in adolescent substance-abuse treatment settings. This paper reports findings from a Canadian study of adolescents (n=130: 80 Caucasians, 50 Aboriginals) admitted to a hospital-based, residential substance-abuse treatment program. Two approaches were used to test the TTM's claim: (1) a hierarchical logistic regression model of dropout was developed using the subscales of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment instrument (URICA), demographic variables, and subscales of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI); and (2) a chi-square analysis was employed to test the hypothesized relation between stage-of-change and dropout status. The findings demonstrated that the best predictive model of dropout included only the Precontemplation subscale of the URICA (OR: 4.3; 95% CI: 2.0-9.0). In addition, adolescents assigned to the Precontemplation stage manifested significantly higher rates of treatment attrition than individuals in the Contemplation or Preparation/Action stages. This study provides important empirical support for the predictive utility of the stage-of-change construct among a culturally diverse sample of adolescents admitted to an inpatient substance-abuse treatment program.

Why don't they believe that Africa is not just poverty and corruption, and that only people in the rural areas live in huts and farm for a living (like in many parts of Asia) It's seriously my biggest pet peeve when Americans ask me things like "You're from AFRICA? OMG do they walk around naked? will i die from a disease as soon as i step off the plane? do you have cars and streets? OMG do you ride a donkey to school?" Ofcourse that's an exaggeration but people ask me very ignorant questions sometimes, and I usually don't like to boast but in this case I have to set the record straight and tell them to stop being so close-minded because what the media portrays of Africa is not what ALL of Africa looks like. I'm from Tunisia and its a beautiful country right by the Medditeranean and people there live in houses that are MUCH bigger than any on the ones I've seen in the u.s and we drive the latest european cars and have perfectly modern infrastructure. Other countries in Africa that I've lived in also have beautiful cities, beaches, and are very diverse, I grew up in Africa but went to International schools there and grew up with Australians, Japanese, Americans, Canadians, Europeans, etc. Yes, there IS poverty in Africa but why does the media continue to spread the lie that all of Africa is like that??

Canadians would be right to say the average American is either ignorant or stupid, demonstrated by re-electing Bush and knowing nothing about the rest of the world. However, what about the kids who go to Harvard University, Columbia, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, UC-Berkeley. What about the folks in Massachusetts who never supported Iraq or Bush, they passed Same-sex Marriage so all lovers can share a small outermost Cape Cod House and live the same as any other couple in love. They have no death penalty in Mass., they have great preservation of folk music and Irish roots. And rich revolutionary history. They have free university-sponsored arthouse concerts and lots of family-run coffee shops and coffee houses. Out in California you have a group in Berkeley who held a mass demonstration against the US Marine Corp. They have lots of peace groups. Then you have happy environmentalists nature friendly folks along the shores of Oregon and Washington state. You also have some very intelligent progessive thinkers in the USA who attribute to ideas well beyond what you'd ever expect of an American, the newest invention being an automobile powered by air compression. So my point is there are smart people in America and fascinating cultures that exist within the states that suffer the consquences for idiotic people who put the USA in the dilemma it is in. How is this fair to then assume the whole America screwed itself? Even if you don't agree with any American group, there's quite a diversity of mindsets within the states, it is way too diverse to be 1 people. Also Joni Mitchell is a Canadian who sings about "California." And Steve Geller is a Canadian singer who sings about "Following the river down to a New England Town" :) Dj j, I don't think Canada is just simply more leftwing than the USA. I think it's more like Canada falls slightly more to the left than the US, PLUS there's another component to Canadian culture that doesn't quite fall on a left-wing-right-wing spectrum that separates Being "Canadian" from being a "Liberal American".

Hello everyone, I was thinking about moving to Maine because there might be a job opportunity for me there soon. I currently live in Ontario, Canada. I don't live in a busy city, but it is a very diverse city with many cultures such as Mexican, Italian, African, Pakistani, Canadians and so forth. So i was just wondering, how are the people in Maine? Are they friendly and welcoming for the most part to new comers? Is there a lot of stuff to do in Maine and is it relatively easy to make friends? Why i ask this is because i am Canadian born but i am of a Sikh descent. Which means, yes i wear a turban and have religious values that are very important to me. But i love all cultures and i do not discriminate. Even here in Canada, i have been made fun of because of the color of my skin and my religious values. I have heard that Maine is not really a diverse state, but that does not bother me, although it would be nice to see at least one or two indians there lol. So i just wanted to know everyone's opinions and thoughts about me moving to Maine. Will it be good, bad, something between? I am a sociable person and outgoing, i just want to know how i am going to be treated. I would like to thank everyone for reading this and their opinions. (more...)

Sadly, Canada has still not won a medal. Vietnam has a medal. So does Azerbaijan, Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. Isn't it unfair that the Olympics has "sports" like shooting, when 99.99 percent of Canadians have never seen a pistol before and have zero chance of getting a medal in that competition? Wouldn't it be more fair to Canadians for the Olympics to have medals for painting? Perhaps they should cancel boxing and give medals for poetry. Maybe they could have an event that rewards the most diverse and tolerant nations? Perhaps they should give out medals to the countries with the best health care system. Having Canada compete in these unfair macho games is a disgrace. At the very least they should be given a medal for showing up. Everyone should be a winner at the Olympics, right? (more...)

I never knew that soooo many people hated the USA until I started using Yahoo Answers. Like, I always knew we were hated, but I never knew Canadians, Australians, British people, etc hated us in the same ways many people in the middle east do. I saw one answer once from a Australian who said they hope the USA collapses and turns into a third world country because apparently we deserve it. I still like it here though, it?s diverse and there are lot?s of cultures and we have a good quality of life, even though Europeans say we don?t, I know we do since I live here and my parents immigrated here from South America (yes, legally) and I?ve seen how bad it is in some places down there, so I consider myself lucky to live here, but yeah, I was wondering, do most people even in western countries hate me simply because I?m American?

The UAE population has an unnatural sex distribution consisting of more than twice the number of males than females. The 15-65 age group has a male(s)/female sex ratio of 2.743. UAE's gender imbalance is the highest among any nation in the world followed by Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia - all of which together comprise the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).[4] The GCC states are also what most South and Southeast Asians refer to as the Persian Gulf especially in context of emigration.[5] UAE has one of the most diverse populations in the Middle East.[6] 19 % of the population is Emirati, and 23 % is other Arabs and Iranians [7]. An estimated 85 percent of the population is comprised of non-citizens, one of the world's highest percentages of foreign-born in any nation. In addition, since the mid-1980s, people from all across South Asia have settled in the UAE. The high living standards and economic opportunities in the UAE are better than almost anywhere else in the Middle East and South Asia. This makes the nation an attractive destination for Indians, Filipinos, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis along with a few thousand Sri Lankans. In 2006, there were approximately 2.15 million Indian nationals, Philippines Nationals?OFW, Bangladeshi nationals, and Pakistani nationals in the UAE, making them the largest expatriate community in the oil-rich nation.[8] Persons from over twenty Arab nationalities, including thousands of Palestinians who came as either political refugees or migrant workers, also live in the United Arab Emirates. There is also a sizable number of Emiratis from other Arab League nations who have come before the formation of the Emirates such as Egyptians, Somalis, Sudanese and other Gulf Arab states, who have adopted the native culture and customs. Further, Somali immigration also continued in the 1990s as a result of the Somali civil war. A woman shopping at Dubai Duty Free A woman shopping at Dubai Duty Free There are also residents from other parts of the Middle East, Baluchistan region of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, Africa, Europe, Post-Soviet states, and North America. The UAE has attracted a small number of very affluent expatriates (Americans, British, Canadians, Japanese, Chinese and Australians) from developed countries who are attracted to a very warm climate, scenic views (beaches, golf courses, man-made islands and lucrative housing tracts in Abu Dhabi and Dubai), the nation's comparably low cost of living (but in 2006, thousands of real estate properties are valued over millions of dollars) and tax-free incentives for their business or residency in the UAE. They make up under 5 percent of the UAE population; mainly English-speaking. Expatriates adhere to the law and customs of the UAE, their adopted country. The most populated city is Dubai, with approximately 1.6 million people. Other major cities include Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah, and Fujairah. About 88% of the population of the United Arab Emirates is urban.[9] The remaining inhabitants live in tiny towns scattered throughout the country or in one of the many desert oilfield camps in the nation.

I've been on Y!A for a while now...and I keep seeing hatred against, minorities, hatred against Canadians, hatred against immigrants, hatred against gays and lesbians...What's up with that? I'm from one of the most diverse cities in the world (Toronto), and I don't understand where all the hostility comes from. Why are Americans so angry about things they deem to be "non-American"? Where does this train of thought stem from? How do you think Americans can change that state of mind? LOL @"Next", I never said these issues don't plague every other country in the world, and I didn't say that Canada is perfect. However, BASED ON THE COMMENTS I'm seeing in Y!A, I'm asking why it seems to be so prevalent in the U.S (which, in itself, is a very diverse country) and how you think it can be overcome. Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't accuse you personally of anything. Sure, "Next"...how about "hatred of people against other people"..? I know there is racism on both sides, however I'm sure you're aware that when people are treated a certain way, they retaliate by getting defensive. When someone picks on you for no reason at all, do you like it? or do you get angry at them and say "I'm not gonna take this anymore!" That's basically where Black racism stems from. It's not right, I don't support ANY racism, but it's more of a defensive mechanism. But yes, racism, regardless of the circumstances, is wrong. "Rillaf"...I wonder what would happen if someone posted a bogus website like that about the U.S. They would probably get locked up for "Terrorist activity". Every country has its share of issues...but it just goes to show you that Canada is much more lenient in terms of freedom of speech. Sorry...the second comment addressed to "Next" should have been addressed to "Rukidding". My bad! (more...)

I constantly hear Canadians talk about how tolerant, accepting, and diverse their nation is. I've seen many cases where Canadians say that Canada is so much greater than the US because they do not have a history of slavery. Why do Canadians not teach their history of slavery that ended just a few years before it did in the US? Why are Canadians so ignorant to the fact that part of Canada had slaves just like part of the US did? I know, Canadians will say they had less slaves than America...well, your population is like 1/10th of the US, so that makes sense. Why can't you guys just be honest with your own history instead of denying it ever existed and constantly bashing the US to make your own country look important? It's getting pretty sad.
