Brief Summary

In the Swedish county councils and municipalities, Motivational Interviewing (MI) training with different forms and content is taking place as part of the implementation of the method. The study aims to evaluate to what extent the practitioners acquire and retain MI skills trough the different training methods used by comparing them with a format that in previous studies has shown to be required for the long-term acquisition of proficiency in MI; training including supervision consisting of feedback based on monitoring of practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Acquisition of MI competence

  The effectiveness of the county council workshop trainings will be measured with mean differences between the pre- and post-workshop assessment. The impact of the additional telephone supervision on the county councils' workshop trainings will be measured with mean differences between the post-workshop and the follow-up assessment. All acquisition of MI competence will be assessed by the Swedish version of the MITI, version 3.1. The MITI is a coding system with good psychometric properties widely used as a treatment integrity measure and as a feedback tool to improve MI skills in training and in clinical practice (Moyers, Martin, Manuel, Hendrickson, \& Miller: Assessing competence in the use of motivational interviewing. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment 2005, 28:19-26.).

  Change from Baseline (pre-workshop) in MI competence assessed by the Swedish version of the MITI, directly after the workshop trainings (post-workshop), and six months after the workshop trainings (follow-up).
