Motivational Interviewing...

Mission Statement

Seven BCC projects have included Motivational Interviewing (MI) as either their core intervention, or as an essential element of their intervention. These investigators, as well as other interested BCC investigators, have formed a working group in order to enhance treatment validity and share resources and measures. Specifically, the purpose of the working group is to:

  • Document the similarities and differences in how MI is being applied across sites in order to identify collaborative opportunities.
  • Arrive at a convergence as what constitutes the core elements of MI intervention, and to the extent possible, employ common MI strategies across groups.
  • Identify similarities and differences across sites in their proposed mediators of change.
  • Develop measures of treatment fidelity for MI in order to enhance treatment integrity of individual studies, as well as to promote cross-site comparisons.
  • Seek additional training opportunities in MI.
