Evidence is accumulating that Motivational Interviewing has larger effects in minority populations, but there is no clear explanation of why this is so. It is possible that the effect of specific therapeutic behaviors (e.g., MI-consistent behaviors) on outcome could vary depending on client ethnicity, gender, and age. Using identical measures obtained in three CTN trials of Motivational Enhancement Therapy or Motivational Interviewing (CTN-0004, CTN-0005, CTN-0013), this secondary analysis study tests several clinically relevant hypotheses concerning the relationships between demographic characteristics of patients, measures of therapeutic process and therapeutic alliance, and outcomes.
