Component Analysis for Motivational Interviewing
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Alcohol-Related Disorders, Alcohol Use Disorders, Alcohol Drinking, Alcoholism, Alcohol Abuse
In brief
The purpose of this study is to investigate the critical components of motivational interviewing (MI), a psychotherapeutic intervention, in reducing heavy or problematic drinking. The study will disaggregate MI into its component parts and test full MI compared to MI without its directive strategies. This study will test whether the directive elements of MI are critical or whether MI effects may be attributable solely to its Rogerian, non-directive components.
