    Webinar - Using Web-Based Motivational Assessment Strategies: MAPIT

    Although drug and alcohol treatment are common mandates in the U.S. criminal justice system, many clients do not initiate treatment. The Motivational Assessment Program to Initiate Treatment (MAPIT) is a web-based motivational intervention that addresses this gap by linking a person’s risk and needs factors to case plans that the client can develop.

    This webinar will explore:

    • Clinical features of MAPIT,
    • Research findings from a randomized controlled trial, and
    • A cost-effectiveness study.
