“…Age also appears to be an important predictor of treatment outcome in BI, as shown by data from a meta-analytic review of the efficacy of these interventions [31]. Shakeshaft et al found that a brief motivational intervention was more efficacious among clients who were older at baseline, indicating that older participants in their study were more active in treatment and less likely to withdraw.…”

Objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of a brief motivational enhancement intervention in adolescents referred to psychiatric treatment who reported substance-use. In a sample of adolescents (n = 237) consecutively admitted to a psychiatry department, 143 were identified as users. Subjects were randomly allocated to one of two groups: an experimental group that received a brief intervention aimed at increasing their awareness of the risks of substance-use, or a control group. All subjects received standard treatment according to the primary diagnosis. Structured questionnaires assessing knowledge, problems, perception of risks and intention of use of psychoactive substances were administered upon admission and 1 month later. Fifty-nine subjects entered the experimental group and 44 the control group. No significant differences between the two groups were identified in socio-demographic features or substance-use. Nonparametric analyses showed a significant increase across time in overall knowledge about drugs and perception of risk in the experimental group (P \ 0.05). A significant increase in overall knowledge in the experimental group compared to controls was found (P \ 0.05). No differences were observed for other variables such as intention of use or perception of risk. Brief intervention in adolescents entering psychiatric treatment led to a significant change in overall knowledge about psychoactive substances but not in other variables related to use. Our results point to the need of more intensive interventions.

“…MI is a method of clinical interaction that continues to receive significant interest in the addictions field and beyond (Carroll et al, 2006;Knight et al, 2006;Vasilaki et al, 2006). Defined as "a client-centered, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence (p. 25)" (Miller and Rollnick, 2002), MI is grounded in the four principles of expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance and supporting self-efficacy.…”

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.

“…For example, studies have shown that workplace programs have the potential to support change in drinking norms and reduction of harmful drinking (e.g., Webb, Shakeshaft, Sanson-Fisher, & Havard, 2009), and that even brief interventions for harmful alcohol consumption have the potential to reduce alcohol intake (Kaner et al, 2007;Vasilaki, Hosier, & Cox, 2006). As a part of this strategy, special attention needs to be paid to treatment barriers that have been described in many other studies, such as concerns about privacy, social ------IJADR 7(1) ------stigma, and lack of social support systems (e.g., Grella & Stein, 2013;Schomerus et al, 2011;Schmidt & Room, 1999;Yap et al, 2013).…”
