Motivational Interview

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Motivational Interview, or MI, (15-30 minutes) was provided after initial substance use disorder assessments but prior to treatment admission. I twas facilitated by a computer generated report and included: an orientation to the session, discussion of the participants' strengths, an agenda setting procedure, a review of concerns, and a session summary. Therapists conveyed empathy, used reflective listening, tried to elicit and reinforce change talk elements, and elicited action steps from the participants.

Behavioral: Motivational Interview

MI with Normative Feedback

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Motivational Interview with Normative Feedback, or MI + NF, condition/intervention included all procedures described for the MI condition. Additionally, in the MI + NF condition/intervention, the participants' days of marijuana and alcohol use were compared to two sets of norms ( age specific or level of care specific) available for treatment attending youth. Therapists used whichever norm provided a greater contrast with participants' use.

Behavioral: Motivational Interview with Normative Feedback

Interventions

Motivational Interview with Normative Feedback BEHAVIORAL

NOrmative Feedback (NF) contrasts and individual's substance use to available norms for one's reference group (i.e., descriptive norms.) Essentially, NF highlights how an individual's behavior is non-normative, which in turn, is thought to lead to reduced substance use.

Also known as: CHOICE + (MI + NF)

MI with Normative Feedback

Motivational Interview BEHAVIORAL

The Motivational Interview (MI) addresses ambivalence about change. It's effects are mediated by how well counselors evoke change talk, or in-session client utterances about the: need for; commitment to; ability to; or steps needed, to change.
