Ways We Can Address the Social Determinants of Mental Health — from National Alliance on Mental Illness
For the health problems that Motivational Interviewing was originally developed to address such as smoking cessation and alcohol misuse, the evidence provides some support for implementation particularly if fidelity of the intervention is prioritised. However, Motivational Interviewing has been implemented already for a wide range of other health and social problems where a “one size fits all” approach has been adopted with inconsistent effects.
See references for studies on use of Motivational Interviewing for social component of success or failure in prevention of unhealthy behavior or promotion of healthy behaviour.
