Description

This training will introduce using brief negotiated interviewing (BNI) for alcohol consumption and the steps involved in this approach. The components of the BNI will be reviewed in detail, including building rapport, pros and cons of use, offering information and feedback, assessing readiness for change, and developing a plan. Components of motivational interviewing (MI) will also be reviewed to better complete the BNI. Specific strategies as it related to alcohol use and changes will be highlighted.

Across care teams, the role of the BNI and motivational interviewing can be a critical tool to better understand patients' alcohol use, risk, and knowledge. Through discussion of the BNI and MI components, care teams will be better equipped to communicate with their patients/clients and better understand their alcohol use and motivation to make changes. These skills can help support the needs of patients who use alcohol.

Intended audience

Prescribers, nurses, social workers, and other clinical and non-clinical staff.
