Summary

This study looks at whether in-person and computer-based motivational type interviews lead to the same kind of language and behavior change in young adults when they talk about their marijuana use. Researchers compared how much participants talked about wanting to change their level of marijuana use (change talk) or maintain their level of marijuana use (sustain talk) during each type of interview. Researchers investigated if change talk and sustain talk predicted who continued to use or not use marijuana. All participants completed:

* A survey assessing their frequency of marijuana use.
* A brief motivational type interview, either a face-to-face-motivational type interview or computer-mediated motivational type interview.
* A two-month follow-up survey, again assessing their level of marijuana use.
