A Pilot Trial of Gender-Based Motivational Interviewing for Help-Seeking and Internalizing Symptoms in Men.

There has been limited research on interventions addressing the psychosocial barriers to men's underutilization of formal and informal help. To address this gap in the literature, we report on the development of Gender-Based Motivational Interviewing (GBMI) for men with internalizing symptoms and present the findings of a pilot trial. GBMI is a single session of assessment and feedback that integrates gender-based and motivational interviewing principles.
