Abstract

Primary-care settings have a unique advantage to reaching a broad range of the population and the ability to address a wide array of presenting problems, including substance-use. With high rates of substance-use in the United States and low rates of substance-use treatment utilization, the primary-care office is key in assessing and supporting patients in changing substance-use behaviors. Motivational interviewing is a conversational tool physicians can use to highlight intrinsic motivation for change and support specific changes patients want to make. Providers can also apply motivational interviewing to a variety of chronic health care behaviors.
