BAP: Update & Exploring “Generative Closed Questioning
Day One • Workshop #1
March 17 (11:00am – 12:30pm EDT / 3:00pm – 4:30pm UTC)
Based on MI, Brief Action Planning (BAP) was introduced circa 2003 for self-management support in chronic illness care. Uptake across healthcare is growing. A scoping review cited 143 publications; a systematic review is completed; and recent Cardiology and Preventive Medicine articles consider BAP “an innovative tool” for lifestyle and health behavior change, for use independently or synergistically (“BAP-MI”) with MI. Within MI, BAP is mostly considered a flexible algorithm for Planning. This workshop will update participants on use of BAP in MI settings and introduce the proposition that MI-consistent/adherent use of generative closed questioning (GCQ) may contribute to efficiency/effectiveness.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the core competencies of Brief Action Planning (BAP) and describe ways BAP can be used as a roadmap for Planning, independently or integrated throughout the tasks of MI;
- Describe the concept of generative closed questions (GCQ) and ways BAP optimizes their usefulness; and 3. Develop strategies to begin integrating BAP, if they would like, into their current clinical or training practices.
