Research Interest

Dr. Martino has specific expertise in research concerning the efficacy and effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing (MI). He has applied MI to patients with co-occurring substance use and major psychiatric disorders and has studied the effectiveness of MI when implemented in community treatment program settings. Within this work, Dr. Martino has developed adherence and competence rating systems to document clinician proficiency in rendering MI and has modified these materials for use as clinical supervision tools among substance abuse treatment providers. In addition, Dr. Martino is conducting evidence-based psychotherapy dissemination research in which he is studying different strategies for training clinicians in MI. Similarly, he collaborates on several cognitive behavioral clinician training studies. Finally, Dr. Martino is interested in curriculum development within the medical school and how to train students and professionals in behavior change counseling strategies.
