Research has shown that practitioners trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI) have greater confidence in talking with individuals about new topics and greater satisfaction with worklife due to increased success in helping facilitate an inidividual's decision-making for behavior change. This presentation will provide a brief summary of key MI skills and approach, along with example dialogs to illustrate MI-consistent and MI-inconsistent applications in the SDOH screening and referral contexts. In addition, example conversation starters will be provided and an active learning activity that engages role play of conversation starters for screeening and for referral will be engaged to help increase confidence in participants for having these conversations in practice.
