Acquisition of MI Competence Trough the Training Methods Used in the Swedish County Councils and Municipalities

In the Swedish county councils and municipalities, Motivational Interviewing (MI) training with different forms and content is taking place as part of the implementation of the method. The study aims to evaluate to what extent the practitioners acquire and retain MI skills trough the different training methods used by comparing them with a format that in previous studies has shown to be required for the long-term acquisition of proficiency in MI; training including supervision consisting of feedback based on monitoring of practice.
