Article Abstract
Motivational interviewing (MI) is effective in the treatment of addictions. To evaluate MI adherence of therapists, the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code (MITI) was developed. MI is used in German-speaking countries, but there is no equivalent to the MITI. Our aim was to adapt the MITI for use in German language settings (MITI-d). Twenty-eight session tapes of Alcoholism Specific Psychotherapy utilizing MI were rated by two student raters and the MITI-d instructor. To evaluate interrater reliability, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were computed. ICCs were good to excellent for relevant MI constructs, except for Complex Reflections, MI-nonadherent Behaviors, Empathy, and MI Spirit. The evaluation of test-retest reliability for the student raters showed good to excellent results. The MITI-d is a psychometrically sound instrument for evaluating basic MI competence in German language settings.

Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of both disease prevention and long-term condition management, yet it remains absent from many treatment plans, particularly in primary care. Despite clinicians recognising the value of PA, systemic barriers such as time constraints and limited training hinder its integration into everyday consultations. For this reason, there has been a call for further resources to improve clinician confidence in initiating these conversations.

Objectives: It is important to identify programs that can work in multiple contexts to support adolescent parents in achieving their reproductive health goals. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Ohio in 2012 found that the Teen Options to Prevent Pregnancy (TOPP) program increased contraceptive use and reduced repeat pregnancy and repeat unintended pregnancy among adolescent parents. To facilitate access to contraceptives and support adolescents who wish to avoid repeat pregnancy, this 18-month program offers monthly motivational interviewing sessions with health care workers and assistance from social workers.

Co-occurring alcohol use disorder (AUD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are common and complex conditions that significantly impact patient outcomes. The bidirectional relationship between alcohol use and depression complicates diagnosis and treatment, as alcohol exacerbates depressive symptoms and vice versa. Integrated treatment addressing both disorders simultaneously has shown better outcomes compared to sequential treatments.
