A Community Engaged Approach in Adapting Motivational Interviewing and Skills Training for Native Americans With Experiences of Substance Misuse.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

American Indian and Alaskan Natives (AIAN) are regenerating cultural knowledge and practices to adapt westernized evidence-based interventions to address health concerns such as substance use. This study describes the process of selecting, adapting, and implementing motivational interviewing plus cognitive behavior therapy (motivational interviewing + Skills Training; MIST) for use in a combined substance use intervention with a rural, Northwest tribal community.

Methods

An established community and academic partnership worked together to make culturally mindful changes to MIST. The partnership incorporated community leaders/Elders (n = 7), providers (n = 9), and participants (n = 50) to implement an iterative process of adapting and implementing the adapted form of MIST.

Results

Key adaptations included presenting concepts grounded in tribal values, providing examples from the community perspective, and incorporating cultural customs and traditions. Overall, the MIST adaptation was favorably received by participants, and the adaptation appeared feasible.

Conclusions

Adapted MIST appeared to be an acceptable intervention for this Native American community. Future research should evaluate the interventions efficacy in reducing substance use among this and other Native American communities. Future clinical research should consider strategies outlined in this adaptation as a potential process for working with Native American communities to implement culturally appropriate interventions.

Project description:BackgroundGeneral medical hospitals provide care for a disproportionate share of patients who misuse substances. Hospitalization provides a unique opportunity to identify and motivate patients to address their substance misuse.ObjectiveTo determine the effectiveness of three strategies for implementing motivational interviewing for substance misuse with general medical inpatients.DesignType 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial (Clinical Trials.gov: NCT01825057).ParticipantsThirty-eight providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurses) from 13 general medical inpatient services, and 1173 of their patients admitted to an academically affiliated acute care hospital.InterventionsImplementation strategies included (1) a continuing medical education workshop on detection of substance misuse and provision of a motivational interview; (2) workshop plus bedside supervision (apprenticeship condition); and (3) a workshop plus ability to place a medical order for an interview from a consultation-liaison service (consult condition).Main measuresPrimary outcomes were the percentage of study-eligible patients who received an interview for substance misuse and the integrity (adherence, competence) of the interviews. The secondary outcome was the percent of patient statements within the interviews that indicated motivation for reducing substance misuse.Key results20.5% of patients in the consult condition received an interview, compared to 0.8% (Hedge's g = 1.49) and 3.0% (Hedge's g = 1.26) in the respective workshop only and apprenticeship conditions (p < 0.001). Motivational interviews in the consult condition were performed with more fundamental motivational interviewing adherence and competence than the other conditions. Most statements made by patients during the interviews favored reducing substance misuse, with no differences between conditions.ConclusionsProviders' ability to place an order to have experts from the consultation-liaison service deliver a motivational interview was a more effective implementation strategy than a workshop or apprenticeship method for ensuring motivational interviewing is available to medical inpatients who misuse substances.Trial registryNCT01825057.

Project description:Objective: College is a high-risk period for the initiation and escalation of problem alcohol use. College students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at particularly high risk for experiencing alcohol-related negative consequences relative to typically developing peers. Despite this, the best therapeutic approach for addressing alcohol problems in college students with ADHD has not been identified. Behavioral activation (BA) may augment the effects of gold-standard College drinking interventions [i.e., brief motivational intervention (BMI)] for students with ADHD who are engaging in problem drinking. Method: 113 college students with ADHD (Mean age = 19.87, SD = 1.44; 49.1% male) were randomized to either BMI + BA or BMI plus supportive counseling (BMI + SC). Both groups received ADHD psychoeducation delivered in MI style. Outcomes were assessed using the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire, Daily Drinking Questionnaire, Barkley Functional Impairment Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory. Results: There were no significant differences in outcomes for the sample as a whole; in both conditions, participants showed significant reductions in their alcohol-related negative consequences, alcohol use, and depressive symptoms at 1- and 3-month follow-ups. Exploratory moderation analyses revealed that participants with elevated depressive symptoms at baseline evidenced greater reductions in alcohol-related negative consequences in the BMI + BA condition compared to BMI + SC at the 3-month follow-up. Those low in depressive symptoms evidenced greater reductions of alcohol-related negative consequences in BMI + SC compared to BMI + BA. Conclusions: For college students with ADHD who reported elevated baseline depressive symptoms, the inclusion of BA with BMI resulted in significantly greater decreases in alcohol-related negative consequences, compared to BMI + SC.

Project description:BackgroundThe technical hypothesis of Motivational Interviewing (MI) proposes that: (a) client talk favoring behavior change, or Change Talk (CT) is associated with better behavior change outcomes, whereas client talk against change, or Sustain Talk (ST) is associated with less favorable outcomes, and (b) specific therapist verbal behaviors influence whether client CT or ST occurs. MI consistent (MICO) therapist behaviors are hypothesized to be positively associated with more client CT and MI inconsistent (MIIN) behaviors with more ST. Previous studies typically examine session-level frequency counts or immediate lag sequential associations between these variables. However, research has found that the strongest determinant of CT or ST is the client's previous CT or ST statement. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to examine the association between therapist MI skills and subsequent client talk, while accounting for prior client talk.MethodsWe analyzed data from a manualized MI intervention targeting both alcohol misuse and sexual risk behavior in 132 adults seen in two hospital emergency departments. Transcripts of encounters were coded using the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC 2.5) and an additional measure, the Generalized Behavioral Intervention Analysis System (GBIAS). Using these measures, we analyzed the association between client talk following specific classifications of MICO skills, with the client's prior statement as a potential confounder or effect modifier.ResultsWith closed questions as the reference category, therapist simple reflections and paraphrasing reflections were associated with significantly greater odds of maintaining client talk as CT or ST. Open questions and complex reflections were associated with significantly greater odds of CT following ST, were not associated significantly with more ST following ST, and were associated with more ST following CT (i.e., through an association with less Follow Neutral).ConclusionsSimple and paraphrasing reflections appear to maintain client CT but are not associated with transitioning client ST to CT. By contrast, complex reflections and open questions appeared to be more strongly associated with clients moving from ST to CT than other techniques. These results suggest that counselors may differentially employ certain MICO technical skills to elicit continued CT and move participants toward ST within the MI dialogue.

Project description:Veterinarians often give advice in a persuasive form, a style that has been shown to evoke resistance to change in clients experiencing psychological ambivalence (i.e. those who see both advantages and disadvantages to changing). With this style of communication, veterinarians run the risk of counteracting their purpose to encourage clients to follow recommendations. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a client-centered communication methodology that aims to facilitate clients' internal motivation to change. In MI, Change Talk represents clients' own statements expressing consideration of, motivation for or commitment to behavior change and has been shown to be strongly correlated with behavior change. Sustain Talk is corresponding statements related to maintaining the status quo. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate the potential of MI to facilitate behavior change in veterinary herd health management (VHHM) by investigating the effect of dairy cattle veterinarians' MI skills on client Change and Sustain Talk. We recorded VHHM consultancies on 170 Swedish cattle farms performed by 36 veterinarians, randomly distributed into 2 groups: MI veterinarians (n = 18) had received 6-month training in MI and control veterinarians (n = 18) had not received any training. Veterinarians' MI skills were assessed using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity coding system 4.2.1 and categorized as poor_untrained, poor_trained, near moderate and moderate. Client communication was coded using the Client Language Easy Rating coding system. The effect of MI skills on Change Talk, Sustain Talk and Proportion of Change Talk(Change Talk divided by the sum of Sustain Talk plus Change Talk) was investigated using cross-classified regression models with random intercepts for veterinarian and client (farm). The models also included additional explanatory variables (e.g. type of veterinarian and client's satisfaction with the consultation). The veterinarian's MI skills were associated with the client's Change Talk, but results regarding Sustain Talk or Proportion of Change Talk were inconclusive. Clients of veterinarians reaching the highest (i.e. moderate) MI skills expressed 1.5 times more Change Talk than clients of untrained veterinarians. Clients of general large animal practitioners expressed less Sustain Talk than clients of animal health veterinarians and had higher Proportion of Change Talk. Results indicate that learning to practice MI may be one means to improve adherence to veterinary recommendations and to improve efficiency in VHHM services.
