Experimental
Enhanced Motivational Interviewing Training
Participating medical residents will all receive two successive interventions, motivational interviewing (MI) booster training and the use of a dashboard that provides MI metrics. The booster training will make use of an artificial intelligence tool developed by our study team, Real-time Assessment of Dialogue in Motivational Interviewing (ReadMI), that produces metrics on important conversational skills (e.g., talking time, use of open-ended questions). The dashboard will produce these metrics during clinical encounters as a way to provide cuing for the MI approach.
