By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Geisinger Clinic randomly assigns clinicians to attend or skip motivational interviewing training, a technique that helps patients talk through their own reasons for change. The study tracks patients seen by these clinicians for 90 days, checking whether more recommended screenings, vaccinations, and other care gaps get addressed. Researchers compare the two groups to see if the training shifts patient health behaviors and outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
motivational interviewing training for clinicians
What this could lead to
If it works, health systems could adopt motivational interviewing training as a low-cost way to help patients get recommended screenings, vaccinations, and lifestyle support.
What could go wrong
Training clinicians does not guarantee patients change their behavior, and many factors outside a single conversation shape health outcomes. The study measures care gaps in records, which may not capture the full picture of patient health.
