Motivational Interviewing Strategies to Help Increase Engagement in Care
Course Description
The dramatic increase in opioid overdose deaths across the nation, tied to stimulant and fentanyl use, highlights the need for rapid expansion of access to intervention services in a variety of healthcare and community health settings across the state. This session is part of a larger series of Clinical Quick Tips that UCLA ISAP has prepared for providers working in Primary Care and Community Health settings to help them better understand: patterns of use and risk of stimulants and fentanyl; tools for identifying use among patients; approaches for engaging and supporting patients to help reduce harmful consequences of use; linkages and pathways to specialty care when desired; and medication supports for patients with co-occurring mental health issues.
This 15-minute session reviews motivational interviewing strategies and their applications for stimulant use in primary care. Methods like open-ended questioning, non-judgmental listening, and understanding can help increase patient engagement and openness to change.
Launch Date: December 12, 2022
At the conclusion of the on-demand course, participants will be able to:
- Recall and compare at least three (3) motivational interviewing strategies.
- Identify at lease two (2) examples of open-ended questioning.
