BROWN Friends Research Institute, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland and University of North Carolina-Wilmington, Wilmington, North Carolina, USA This study examined whether Motivational Interviewing (MI), found effective with voluntary entrants to drug treatment, would improve intrinsic motivation and treatment retention among drug court probationers. Probationers were randomly assigned to receive either a two-session MI intervention or a two-session Drug Education (DE) intervention preceding drug-free outpatient coun- seling. Participants who received MI (n = 72) did not differ from participants who received DE (n = 68) nor from participants who did not attend either MI or DE sessions (n = 56) on changes in This research was supported by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) grant RO1 DA13695 entitled Motivational Enhancement for Drug Court Probationers to Timothy W.
