Outcome (Dependent) Measures Mean of 3.3 outcome variables per study Mean of 3.3 outcome variables per study Range: 1 to 12 Range: 1 to 12 To avoid capitalization on change, we computed a combined effect size (d) averaging across all reported outcome variables in each study To avoid capitalization on change, we computed a combined effect size (d) averaging across all reported outcome variables in each study MARMITE

Some Generalizations Wide variability in effect size across studies, within problem areas (e.g., for alcohol problems, d varies from 0 to 3.0) Wide variability in effect size across studies, within problem areas (e.g., for alcohol problems, d varies from 0 to 3.0) Effects of MI appear early Effects of MI appear early Effects of MI diminish over time, except in additive studies Effects of MI diminish over time, except in additive studies d =.77 at post-treatment d =.31 at 4-6 months d =.30 at 6-12 months MARMITE

Effect Size of MI Over Time MARMITE Controlled Additive Comparative
23
Effect size was not predicted by: Number of MI attributes mentioned Number of MI attributes mentioned Methodological quality of study, except Methodological quality of study, except Use of a manual to guide MI did predict effect size: Studies not using a manuald =.65 Studies using a manuald =.37 Demographic characteristics, except: Demographic characteristics, except: Anglo/Caucasian samplesd =.39 Minority samplesd =.79 MARMITE
24
Effect size varied with outcome measures Alcohol: Quantity of drinkingd =.30 Quantity of drinkingd =.30 Frequency of drinkingd =.31 Frequency of drinkingd =.31 BAC estimatesd =.22 BAC estimatesd =.22 Negative consequencesd =.08 Negative consequencesd =.08 HIV Risk: Knowledged = 1.46 Knowledged = 1.46 Behavioral Intentionsd =.88 Behavioral Intentionsd =.88 Sexual risk-takingd =.07 Sexual risk-takingd =.07 MARMITE

Mean Combined Effect Size by Problem Area ( N=72 Clinical Trials) MARMI TE
26
Conclusions 1. Robust and enduring effects when MI is added at the beginning of treatment MI increases treatment retention MI increases treatment adherence MI increases staff-perceived motivation MARMITE
27
Conclusions 2. The effects of motivational interviewing emerge relatively quickly (This is also true of other treatments) MARMITE Project MATCH Outcomes
28
Conclusions 2a. The effects of motivational interviewing emerge relatively quickly This may not be true for certain problem areas or dependent measures where “sleeper” effects occur (e.g., effects of diet and exercise) MARMITE
29
Conclusions 3. The between-group effects of motivational interviewing tend to diminish over 12 months This is also true of other treatments Between-group differences diminish in part because control/comparison groups “catch up” over time This may not be true of MI’s additive effects with other treatment MARMITE
30
Conclusions 4. The effects of MI are highly variable across sites and providers This is also true of other treatments, but may be more true with MI Provider baseline characteristics do not predict effectiveness with MI Treatment process variables do Manuals may not be a good idea MARMITE
