SBU Enquiry Service

Consists of structured literature searches to highlight studies that can address questions received by the SBU Enquiry Service from Swedish healthcare or social service providers. We assess the risk of bias in systematic reviews and when needed also quality and transferability of results in health economic studies. Relevant references are compiled by an SBU staff member, in consultation with an external expert when needed.

Question

What scientific studies have been published regarding the effect of motivational interviewing for adolescents in institutional care?

Method

A systematic literature search was performed using the following databases: MedLine, Scopus, PsycInfo, SocIndex and Criminal Justice Abstracts.

Two authors independently assessed the abstracts of all identified studies.

Identified literature

No relevant systematic reviews were identified. However, four primary studies were included [1-4]. The studies are written by the same group of researchers and partly on the same population. Primary studies are not assessed for risk of bias.
