Following the workshop training, providers conduct two motivational interviews bedside with patients under the supervision of one of the MI-trained CL clinicians, who subsequently give them performance feedback and coaching. Providers receive one more supervised practice case mid-trial. In addition, they can request additional supervision at any point during the trial.
