Local Training Model [William Miller] has been doing this motivational interviewing network of trainer thing for years … once a year he offers this big training of trainers… it's a world-wide network. So, being able to tap into that made a huge difference… in terms of … sustainability... and then that trainer was available to train the... supervisor.... the idea [is] that it's a model that builds in sustainability if you've got somebody there who can supervise the treatment... MI/MET Elite

I never had heard the term ‘motivational interviewing’ until... a conference... we saw something...that fit our philosophy about how you treat people. And, we trained our staff... in [MI]. [We]... did a chapter a month, had different people leading the discussions each time we met, and assigned people reading time and reduced some of their workload in order to give them time to do it... and then challenged the staff... to operationalize it... and come up with a model for doing treatment that would work better than what we were doing... Clinic Director A Champion

... I quite frankly did not foresee some of the problems that we would have getting this [trial] together. …I think clear messages [were needed] from high-level administrators…they needed to pull everyone together. Clinic Research Supervisor Difficulty Implementing the Trial

How is Adoption Measured ? You never really know how people practice, when they’re alone in a room. Clinic Director And at times, they may forget that that's a tool that they have... I hope when you talk to them, that the MI counselors are gonna say, "Yeah, that was a good thing for me. I got a lot out of that, and I use it."... Do I absolutely know that? Clinical Supervisor
