Role of the Dentist in the Control of the Alcoholic Habit in Patients with Potentially Malignant Oral Lesions

Group 1 (intervention group): depending on the willingness to change evaluated with the RCQ at each visit, the characteristics of the intervention to be performed will be established. Prochaska and DiClemente (1983) proposed a transtheoretical model of change in which different stages of change are identified that have been found to be predictive of adherence to treatment and its efficacy (Prochaska, Norcross and DiClemente, 1994). The RCQ includes three of the stages of change: Precontemplation, Contemplation and Action. In the Precontemplation stage, the person does not consider that he has a problem and has no intention of changing, in the Contemplation stage, he begins to contemplate that he has a problem and the possibility of change is raised and in the action stage, he has already started actively make a change in your behavior.
