Table 3.
Proportion of counselors randomized to one of three training conditions meeting thresholds for proficiency on Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) scores across both week 8 and week 20 follow up assessments.
| MITI Proficiency Threshold | Training Condition | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workshop Only | Tape-based Supervision | Tele-conferencing Supervision | Chi-square (df = 2) | |
| Spirit and Empathy scores = 5 or bettera | 30% (8/27) | 46% (11/24) | 50% (12/24) | 2.47, p = .291 |
| Spirit and Empathy scores = 6 or bettera | 0% (0/27) | 13% (3/24) | 25% (6/24) | p = .017b |
| MI non-adherent count = 0 | 37% (10/27) | 67% (16/24) | 65% (15/23) | 5.82, p = .058 |
| MI adherentc 100% | 33% (7/21) | 53% (9/17) | 50% (8/16) | 1.15, p = .417 |
Note. Totals in the denominators vary due to missing data.
a
Scores of 5 are considered a beginner level of proficiency on the MITI; scores of 6 or 7 are considered to be in the competent range.
b
Fisher's Exact test calculated due to low expected frequencies.
c
MI Adherent percentage = 100 × MIA count/(MIA count + MINA count); cases where both MIA and MINA counts equal zero are undefined, because the denominator is zero, so these are not included, contributing to missing data.
