Study Arms (2)

Live Teleconference Supervision

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Behavioral: Live teleconference supervision

Taped Review Supervision

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Clinicians from participating substance treatment programs audio record session with client and receive supervision after the session by MI trainer.

Behavioral: Taped Review Supervision

Interventions

Participants receive live teleconference supervision during a session with a client on their use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in the session. MI is a directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence. Compared with nondirective counselling, it is more focused and goal-directed. The examination and resolution of ambivalence is its central purpose, and the counselor is intentionally directive in pursuing this goal.

Also known as: Motivational Enhancement Therapy, MI, MET
Live Teleconference Supervision

Participants audio record a session with a client and receive supervision after the session on their use of Motivational Interviewing during the session.
