“…Given its wide application, it is perhaps not surprising that MI‐based interventions have been delivered by trained interventionists or counselors in a variety of fields and disciplines, such as psychologists, social workers, nurses, nutritionists, dentists, physicians and medical trainees, educators, and those in the criminal justice field (Cook et al, 2017; Faustino‐Silva, Meyer, Hugo, & Hilgert, 2019; Lane, Hood, & Rollnick, 2008; Pennell et al, 2018; Simper, Breckon, & Kilner, 2017; Victor, El‐Behadli, McDonald, Pratt, & Faith, 2019). Although we know of no research documenting the use of MI in youth mentoring relationships targeting a potentially broad range of behaviors, prior work has employed MI for peer‐based interventions (e.g., Mastroleo, Magill, Barnett, & Borsari, 2014) that involved a structured brief intervention focused on a specific target behavior (e.g., alcohol use).…”
