Interventions

• Basic AI (artificial intelligence)-Augmented Motivational Interviewing Training — BEHAVIORAL
  Basic participants will participate in two motivational interviewing (MI) training sessions that involve role-play practice of MI. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be used to provide metrics on MI-skills (percentage of the time the clinician talks, use of open-ended questions, use of closed-ended questions, use of reflective statements, use of 0-10 scales) as measured by the ReadMI™ tool (Real-time Evaluation of Dialogue in Motivational Interviewing), and both the spirit of MI and presence of bias as measured by Dougall GPT.
• Plus AI (artificial intelligence)-Augmented Motivational Interviewing Training — BEHAVIORAL
  Plus participants will participate in four motivational interviewing (MI) training sessions that involve role-play practice of MI. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be used to provide metrics on MI-skills (percentage of the time the clinician talks, use of open-ended questions, use of closed-ended questions, use of reflective statements, use of 0-10 scales) as measured by the ReadMI™ tool, and both the spirit of MI and presence of bias as measured by Dougall GPT.

Study Details

This study will examine the impact of training primary care providers (PCPs) in motivational interviewing (MI) using artificial intelligence (AI) to augment the training process. MI is a patient-centered approach to engaging patients in their own care. There will be a control group and two intervention groups, with the intervention groups receiving a different amount of MI training. The hypothesis is that the AI-augmented MI training will result in improved patient outcomes, improved clinician wellbeing, and reduced behavioral manifestation of clinician biases. This mixed-methods project will also collect qualitative data from structured interviews and focus groups with participating PCPs to examine perceived facilitators and barriers to the use of the MI approach in primary care.

Arms

• No Intervention: Control Group
  The control group (CG) will provide survey data and complete role plays with standardized patients for motivational interviewing (MI) assessment at designated project intervals. Premier Physician Network data for these primary care providers (PCPs) will also be obtained at these intervals.
• Active Comparator: BASIC AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing Training
  The Basic intervention group will provide survey data and complete role plays with standardized patients for motivational interviewing (MI) assessment at designated project intervals. Premier Physician Network data for these primary care providers (PCPs) will also be obtained at these intervals. Basic PCPs will participate in a didactics session on MI, and subsequently complete two AI (artificial intelligence)-augmented MI training sessions that involve role-play practice of MI.
• Active Comparator: PLUS AI-Augmented Motivational Interviewing Training
  The Plus intervention group will provide survey data and complete role plays with standardized patients for motivational interviewing (MI) assessment at designated project intervals. Premier Physician Network data for these primary care providers (PCPs) will also be obtained at these intervals. Plus intervention group PCPs will participate in a didactics session on MI, and subsequently complete four AI (artificial intelligence)-augmented MI training sessions that involve role-play practice of MI.
