Motivational interviewing for substance abuse.

Background: There are 76.3 million people with alcohol use disorders worldwide and 15.3 million with drug use disorders.

Users' and GPs' causal attributions of illegal substance use: an exploratory interview study.

Objective: There is a need to explore the beliefs regarding the causes of illegal substance use of the people who themselves use the substances (SU) and their GPs. Increased knowledge about such beliefs--often referred to as causal attributions--may improve mutual understanding and communication between SU and GPs.

Methods: Eight SU and five GPs were interviewed about the causes of illegal substance use.
