Summary: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) can improve access to mental health care for students, but high attrition rates and long-term outcomes remain challenges. This study examined the use of pretreatment motivational interviewing (MI) exercises and booster lessons in ICBT for postsecondary students. Results showed that pretreatment MI did not contribute to better treatment completion or engagement, while small between-group effects favored MI for reductions in depression and anxiety after treatment. The low uptake of the self-guided booster limited the conclusions regarding its effectiveness.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of Project PLUS, a 6-session intervention, in reducing substance use and improving ART adherence among PLWH. However, the results did not show significant intervention effects, which may have been limited by the quasi-experimental design, high quality of standard care at the clinics, or inadequate intervention dose.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of motivational interviewing (MI) with cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) on the behavioral changes of heavy drinkers. Results showed that the intervention significantly increased participants' refusal self-efficacy and awareness of problem-drinking behaviors, leading to reduced perceived benefits of drinking and an enhanced ability to make positive behavioral changes. The simple and easy-to-apply intervention may be valuable for problem drinking prevention strategies in the public health sector, with efforts to disseminate these strategies being worthwhile from a sustainable perspective.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between provider adherence to Tailored Motivational Interviewing implementation strategy and motivational interviewing (MI) competence. Through assessing 156 youth-focused HIV providers, it was found that overall adherence was not associated with overall MI competence. MI competence significantly increased from Baseline to Implementation and Baseline to Sustainment. Some individual implementation strategies were associated with change in competence and the probability of achieving Intermediate/Advanced competence. The results suggest that 100% percent adherence to all TMI implementation strategies may not be necessary.

Summary: This study aimed to review factors influencing medication adherence in women with persistent delusional symptoms and discuss strategies to enhance adherence. Patient factors such as personality traits, intensity of delusion, perception of adverse effects, and cognitive impairment, as well as healthcare provider responsibilities, including clinical time spent with the patient, clarity of communication, and regular drug monitoring, were identified as influencing adherence. However, further research is needed to investigate solutions for addressing the impact of social determinants of health on medication adherence.

Summary: This study evaluated a novel psycho-social intervention that combined motivational interviewing with cognitive-behavioral therapy (MI-CBT) for the treatment of motivational negative symptoms in schizophrenia. The results showed that the MI-CBT group had significantly greater improvements in motivational negative symptoms compared to the control group during the treatment period. These improvements were maintained at follow-up, although the differential benefit relative to the control group was attenuated.

Summary: Research has shown that there are differences in attitudes towards drug treatment between psychiatric and non-psychiatric patients, with addicts and psychiatric patients scoring higher in health locus of control and psychological reactance. Additionally, psychiatric patients exhibited a more pronounced mistrust in physicians compared to non-psychiatric patients.

Summary: This article reviews the development of motivational interviewing (MI) from its accidental origins and the first publication in 1983, to its current widespread practice in various professions, countries, and languages. MI's effectiveness has been proven in numerous clinical trials, and process research has provided insights into its mechanisms. Feedback and coaching based on observed practice are crucial for developing proficiency in MI. The author suggests that MI can enhance the delivery of other treatments, as it shares similarities with effective psychotherapists identified in decades of research. Currently, MI is commonly used in conjunction with other methods such as cognitive behavior therapy.

Summary: This field experiment examines the impact of initial inspections on waste sorting in restaurants and investigates whether motivational interviewing (MI) training for inspectors increases compliance. The results indicate significant positive effects of first inspections, with an average improvement of 55%. In addition, the MI training seems to influence compliance, although this could be due to a combination of the initial inspection, MI training, and longer intervals between inspections. Further research is needed.

Summary: This study explored the training, uptake, and sustainability of motivational interviewing (MI) among physicians. The results indicated that MI-trained physicians had higher relational and technical scores over time and were more likely to maintain MI practices long-term. Overall, physicians found the MI training highly acceptable and were able to sustain their skills.
