Development of the motivational interviewing for loved ones skills assessment (MILO-SA).
Article in Early intervention in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimExpressed emotion of family members is a key target for intervention for bettering psychosocial outcomes for transitional-age youth experiencing mental health crises. Motivational Interviewing for Loved Ones (MILO) seeks to reduce expressed emotion by teaching parents motivational interviewing skills such as taking a non-judgmental stance, exploring their loved one's thoughts and feelings, expressing optimism and confidence, and avoiding taking an expert role. This report details the creation of the Motivational Interviewing for Loved Ones- Skills Assessment (MILO-SA), its psychometric properties, and convergent validity with other measures of motivational interviewing adeptness.
methodsOur sample (n = 54) consisted of baseline assessments from parents participating in a pilot study of MILO. Parents were assessed for baseline knowledge of motivational interviewing as well as MILO skills with the MILO-SA and a traditional assessment clinician application of motivational interviewing skills.
resultsWe found that the MILO-SA displayed high interrater reliability (k = 0.81), and convergent validity with motivational interviewing knowledge (r = 0.32) as well as traditional assessments of clinician adeptness applying motivational interviewing skills (r = 0.67).
conclusionsOur findings suggest that the MILO-SA has strong psychometric properties and is a useful tool for assessing parent acquisition of motivational interviewing skills. Specifically, the MILO-SA can be used in future studies focused on teaching non-clinicians motivational interviewing skills.
