“…Only the Summarizing subscale post hoc contrast indicated a significant decrease from post-training to follow-up, F (1, 110) = 7.73, p = .006. The overall pattern is inconsistent with temporal changes one might expect as a function of practice effects, and is congruent with patterns observed in the larger MI training literature (Baer et al, 2004;Miller et al, 2004). To additionally account for the potential influence of agency affiliation on these training effects, analyses were re-run with agency affiliation included as an independent variable.…”

The video assessment of simulated encounters-revised (VASE-R) is a video-based method, administered in individual or group settings, for assessing motivational interviewing (MI) skills. The 18-item instrument includes three video-based vignettes, in which actors portray substance abusers, with each vignette followed by questions that prompt examinees to write responses that are then scored against MI standards. The VASE-R was administered to two independent samples: (1) substance abuse practitioners participating in a study of MI training methods, and (2) MI training facilitators with a high level of MI skill and expertise. This multi-study report describes basic VASE-R psychometric properties -including scoring reliability, internal consistency, concurrent validity, and sensitivity to the effects of training -and then presents proficiency standards based on administration to a sample of MI training facilitators (MI Experts). The findings indicate excellent inter-rater reliability using intra-class correlations for the full-scale score (.85) and acceptable levels for subscales (.44 to .73). The instrument displayed strong concurrent validity with the Helpful Responses Questionnaire (HRQ) and a behavioral sample of clinician behavior with a standardized patient scored using the MI Treatment Integrity (MITI) system, as well as good sensitivity to improvement in MI skill as a result of training. The findings provide an empirical basis for suggesting VASE-R benchmarks for beginning proficiency and expert MI practice.

“…However, there are clear challenges to the broad implementation of even brief interventions. For example, training in brief motivational interventions (typically using a two full-day format) has led to changes in provider behavior only on some key skill measures, and many trainees show improvement that is either transient or of insufficient magnitude (Baer et al, 2004;Miller & Mount, 2001). Further, it has been estimated that full compliance with all preventive activities recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force would require 4.4 hours per working day for primary care physicians working with adults (Yarnall, Pollak, Ostbye, Krause, & Michener, 2003).…”

Computer-based brief motivational interventions may be able to reach a high proportion of at-risk individuals and thus have potential for significant population impact. The present studies were conducted to determine the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a computer-based brief motivational intervention (the motivation enhancement system, or MES). In Study 1, quantitative and qualitative feedback from 30 postpartum women and 17 women in treatment for drug use were used to modify the software. In Study 2, 50 urban postpartum women who reported drug use in the month before pregnancy completed the intervention and provided repeated within-session ratings of state motivation. In Study 3, 30 women were randomly assigned to intervention or control conditions with 1-month follow-up. Overall, women rated the MES as highly acceptable and easy to use and reported significant increases in state motivation at postintervention and at 1-month follow-up (d = .49). These preliminary results are encouraging and suggest that further work in this area is warranted.

“…In contrast, little is known regarding the translation of the manualised interventions in research settings to effective clinical interventions in everyday practice (Baer et al, 2004;McGovern, Fox, Haiyi, & Drake, 2004;Miller et al, 2004;Miller, Sorensen, Selzer, & Brigham, 2006;Morgenstern, Morgan, McCrady, Keller, & Carroll, 2001;Rubak, Sandboek, Lauritzen, Borch-Johnsen, & Christensen, 2006;Sholomskas et al, 2005). The most common form of disseminating evidence-based practice to health professionals is through a single (0.5-2 day) didactic workshop (Baer et al, 2004;DeViva, 2006;Miller & Mount, 2001;Sholomskas et al, 2005). Transferring evidence-based treatment into healthcare settings is most effective when the workshop (a) describes the principles underlying the intervention; (b) provides coaching and practice, such as role-playing (Miller & Mount, 2001 Miller et al, 2006;Resnicow, Dilorio, Soet, Borrelli, & Hecht, 2002;Schoener et al, 2006;Sholomskas et al, 2005); (c) involves follow-up supervision or feedback for the clinicians (Miller & Mount, 2001;Miller et al, 2004;Miller et al, 2006;Morgenstern et al, 2001;Resnicow et al, 2002;Schoener et al, 2006;Sholomskas et al, 2005) and (d) includes motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitivebehavioural techniques (CBT) (Baer et al, 2004, Miller et al, 2004, Miller et al, 2006.…”

The literature has shown that those workshops that do not include supervision or feedback for the clinician demonstrate only marginal or no long-term impact in changing clients' behaviour and demonstrate only short-term effects on clinicians' uptake of their newly learnt skills (Baer et al, 2004, Miller et al, 2004, Miller et al, 2006.…”

Background: While there is considerable evidence that brief motivational and skills-based interventions for substance use are effective, little is known regarding the transfer of knowledge from research to practice. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two half-day didactic clinical training workshops for allied health workers, which did not incorporate feedback or supervision, via independent follow-up three months post training. Methods: In total, 1322 participants attended either or both of the evidence-based treatment workshops run by the National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre. Of those participants, 495 (37%) completed an online follow-up evaluation three months later regarding their use of the newly learnt intervention(s). Results: At follow-up, 270 (54.5%) participants had an opportunity to use the skills and 144 (53.3%) of those participants reported having used the clinical skills taught in the workshop. Of those who used one of the interventions, 90 (62.5%) participants reported their clients had reduced or quit their cannabis use. Furthermore, 43 (30%) of these participants had attempted to train others in the workplace in the techniques learnt in the workshop. Conclusion: Even a half-day didactic clinical training workshop on evidence-based brief cognitivebehavioural techniques delivered to clinicians working in the field can improve knowledge and confidence among clinicians and outcomes among their clients with cannabis use related problems.
