Motivational interviewing and the stages of change model have been effectively applied to alcohol problems. However, this approach has not been applied to people with learning disabilities. Particularly within a forensic service, there is a need to develop group treatments for people with alcohol-related offences as current alcohol education programmes do not necessarily lead to changes in attitudes and behaviour. This involved interactive teaching methods adapted for people with mild learning disabilities. The group met for 1 h over three sessions and staff training was provided. A variety of measures (pre and post group) demonstrated increases in clients' motivation, self-efficacy and determination to change their drinking behaviour. Recommendations were made to develop the group further. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
