MI Training Study at University of New Mexico

The Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions at the University of New Mexico is currently conducting a randomized control trial funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse in which they will be providing free motivational interviewing (MI) training to providers (counselors, psychologists, medical doctors, social workers, nurses) who work in the field of substance abuse. They are recruiting providers who have minimal experience with motivational interviewing and work in a not-for-profit setting.

One person per agency or setting will be able to participate in this study. Eligible clinicians will participate (with grant support) in a two-day MI training in Albuquerque, NM, which will be held November 17 – 18, 2009. For more information, see the Project Elicit web page.
