[A brief motivational intervention targeting multi-risk behaviours among young people].
Teenagers and young adults often combine alcohol, tobacco, cannabis or other drugs use and related hazardous behaviours. This article presents a brief motivational intervention (BMI) targeting multiple substance use and related behaviours. The values and projects that can enter into conflict with the substance use are discussed in order to introduce a change perspective. Talking and thinking freely about change in a non-judgmental, empathic and collaborative manner can lead to an effective behaviour change. This time-limited BMI is appropriate and promising in a primary care.
