A meta-analysis of motivational interviewing interventions for pediatric health behavior change.
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of motivational interviewing for health behavior change in children and adolescents, drawing on thirty-seven empirical studies across eight health domains. The authors report a small-to-moderate overall effect size, with notable variations based on specific conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, asthma, and calcium intake. The resource discusses how practitioner background, health domain, and family participation moderate outcomes, noting that matching cultural backgrounds and involving both parents and children may enhance effectiveness.
