Can the practitioner correctly predict outcome in motivational interviewing?

Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment
John Strang, Jim McCambridge

Abstract

We have examined whether practitioner ratings (immediately post-intervention) or other recorded characteristics of a single-session 1-hour motivational intervention were predictive of 3-month cannabis use outcome. In the context of a cluster randomized trial involving 200 non help-seeking illegal drug users (age range 16-20), 105 were randomized to the intervention, of whom 97 (92%) were interviewed for followup at 3 months, 96 of whom were current cannabis users at study entry. Six intervention characteristics and seven practitioner ratings as well as patterns of self-motivational statements were investigated in relation to substantial change in use, (which was defined as cessation or reduction by more than 50%). Both practitioner ratings post-session, and also the subject's own elicited self-motivational statements, were found to be predictive of outcome 3 months later. The strongest predictor of substantial change, however, was simply whether change had been discussed during the session. On the basis of the above findings, it does indeed appear possible for outcome to be predicted by the motivational interviewing practitioner immediately following delivery of the intervention, on the basis of simple observations and ratings....Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
