Summary

Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs), who live in the communities they serve, have the potential to reach patients who poorly engage in their care. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a special type of interactional approach that focuses on improving the person's motivation to engage in healthy behaviors, such as keeping their clinic appointments and regularly taking medications. In this study, we will develop a mobile health tool that will assist CHWs in two tasks while they utilize MI to assist patients' engagement in care: 1) follow prompts on the mobile device to deliver MI; and 2) record consented conversations between CHWs and patients so that MI specialists can review the audiotape and provide feedback to maintain the MI skills.
