AB  - OBJECTIVE: The University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) is a widely 
      used tool for measuring subjects' readiness to change substance-using behaviors. 
      The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Chinese version 
      of the URICA (C-URICA) in Taiwanese adolescents who have used 
      methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or methamphetamine (MAMP). METHODS: Pre-test 
      and post-test data from the C-URICA from 92 adolescents in a juvenile abstinence 
      center who had used MDMA or MAMP were analyzed. We used confirmatory factor 
      analysis (CFA) to examine the adequacy of the factor structure of the C-URICA. 
      RESULTS: CFA indicated that a three-factor structure (pre-contemplation, 
      contemplation + action, maintenance) had a better goodness of fit than 
      four-factor (pre-contemplation, contemplation, action, maintenance), and 
      one-factor structures. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that the URICA may have 
      different factor structures when used in the population different from the 
      original adult population with alcohol drinking.
