Home Visiting Rating Scale (HOVRS) and Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Theory to Action is partnering with Lori Roggman, PhD, Gina Cook, PhD, and Mark Innocenti, PhD, authors of the Home Visiting Rating Scale (HOVRS), to develop concepts relating to the intersection of the HOVRS and Motivational Interviewing (MI).​

​

We are exploring how the practices of Home Visitors within the HOVRS paradigm may be assisted by using MI concepts. Likely benefits of merging these two paradigms are:​

​

  • An increase in Home Visitors’ HOVRS scores

  • An increase in Home Visitors’ Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) scores

  • Assistance with certain challenges often faced by Home Visitors, such as parental engagement in practicing parenting skills outside of home visits.
