Exploring motivational interviewing’s technical hypothesis with emerging adults from racial or ethnic minority groups with heavy alcohol use
Emerging adults from minority racial and ethnic backgrounds are rarely represented in alcohol intervention research, limiting our understanding of how these interventions function across different subgroups. This study examines whether in-session distal (i.e., decision-making that is directly about behavioral change) and proximal change talk (i.e., decisions about indirect coping activities or lifestyle changes that may facilitate behavioral chan…
A Descriptive Review and Meta-Regression Study of Demographic and Study Context Factors in US Clinical Trials of Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Alcohol or Other Drug Use
Objectives. Cognitive-Behaviorally Based Interventions (CBIs) are evidence-based treatments for alcohol and other drug (AOD) use with potential variable effectiveness by population sub-groups. This study used evidence synthesis to examine treatment effect by demographic and study context factors in clinical trials of CBI for AOD. Methods. Studies were systematically identified, and their characteristics and outcome data were extracted and summari…
How do US orthopaedic surgeons view placebo-controlled surgical trials? A pilot online survey study
Randomised placebo-controlled trials (RPCTs) are the gold standard for evaluating novel treatments. However, this design is rarely used in the context of orthopaedic interventions where participants are assigned to a real or placebo surgery. The present study examines attitudes towards RPCTs for orthopaedic surgery among 687 orthopaedic surgeons across the USA. When presented with a vignette describing an RPCT for orthopaedic surgery, 52.3% of pa…
Technical and relational process in MI sessions with a sample of Hispanic/Latinx adults who engage in heavy drinking
The current study tests the Motivational Interviewing (MI) technical and relational hypotheses in a sample of Hispanic/Latinx adults ( N = 276) who engage in heavy alcohol consumption. MI causal theory hypothesizes that therapist use of MI consistent skills (i.e., technical hypothesis) and embodiment of the MI Spirit (i.e., relational hypothesis) will elicit client change talk, which is a putative mechanism of positive client outcome after the se…
Practice Makes Perfect
). Focus groups included masters of social work students (N = 40) from six universities in the United States. Students were, on average, 34 years of age (range 21 to 58) with 75% female, 20% male, and two non-binary students. Students identified as White (50%), Latinx/Latine (20%), Black (12.5%), and multi-racial (12.2%). A framework-guided content analysis was used, and revealed four broad themes: 1) classroom-based opportunities for practice ob…
Discussion of alcohol consequences during a brief motivational intervention session
The present study was designed to take an inductive, qualitative approach to understanding how discussion of alcohol-related consequences during brief motivational interventions (BMI) relate to readiness to change (RTC) prior to versus at the end of a session. Participants were thirty-four adults (35% female) recruited from the emergency room and enrolled in a randomized clinical trial of a BMI for risky alcohol use and risky sex. Seventeen parti…
The Relationship Between Drinking Behavior and Conversational Processes During a Brief Alcohol Reduction Intervention for People with HIV
When the Right Measure Doesn’t Exist
Intimate violence as it relates to risky sexual behavior among at-risk females
Contrary to expectations, PTSD may act to reduce risk perhaps by reducing interest in sex. It is important to address victimization, PTSD, and sexual risk in young women. More work is needed to understand these complex relationships using longitudinal designs. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
The pros and cons of drinking
The aim of this study was to examine young adult motivations about drinking through qualitative analysis of client–therapist dialogue in motivational interviewing (MI) sessions. Participants were a random selection of 26 young adult alcohol users involved in a large hospital-based clinical trial (N = 423). All sessions in the clinical trial were audio-recorded and transcribed. For the present study, discussions of the “Pros and Cons of Drinking” …
