April is a social worker by training with over 18 year experience in developing and testing behavioral health interventions. She has studied Motivational Interviewing (MI) for more than a decade. Her research has examined how counselors and health care providers facilitate behavior change through the evocation of change talk. This has included collaborative work with computer scientists to automate the communication coding process using machine-learning models. April’s work to understand how MI facilitates change has informed her current research to develop and test eHealth behavioral interventions to improve health outcomes among emerging adults with type 1 diabetes.    00:00 – Introduction and episode preview 06:25 – April’s introduction and early MI story 09:45 – What works to evoke change talk from African-American youth? 15:45 – Process of forming research questions 21:00 – Working with youth and their caregivers 24:00 – What you ask about, and reflect, matters 27:40 – Statements that support autonomy, evoke change talk, and consolidate commitment 40:40 – Developing computerized coding methods 54:00 – The dilemma of research 58:10 – eHealth along a continuum of care 1:05:00 – Developing an eHealth prevention program for childhood cancer survivors 1:10:17 – End of episode Links and contact information: Email: [email protected] Twitter: @a_carcone Website: https://familymedicine.med.wayne.edu/profile/ao6558 Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/April-Carcone LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/april-idalski-carcone-7584501/ International Conference on Motivational Interviewing: Website:  https://www.icmi2022.org/  For suggestions, questions and to enquire about training in Motivational Interviewing contact Glenn & Sebastian Email: [email protected] Twitter: * ChangeTalking * Glenn Hinds * Sebastian Kaplan  For all previous episodes CLICK HERE We welcome all donations to support us GBP Thank You.
