CTN webinar: Motivational interviewing in clinical trials.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an empirically supported treatment for substance use disorders and a variety of other problematic behaviors. Over three decades of research have established the clinical effectiveness of MI and some of its mechanisms of action.

This webinar, presented by Steve Martino, PhD, and Theresa Moyers, PhD, described what MI is, how it works, MI-consistent and -inconsistent practices, standards of performance, clinician qualifications, and available training resources. The presentation is meant to provide a broad overview of MI and whet the appetites of participants to pursue further education and training in this treatment approach.
