Video Assessment of Simulated Encounters (VASE-R)
The Video Assessment of Simulated Encounters - Revised (VASE-R) is a video-based method for assessing clinicians' skill in Motivational Interviewing (MI). The VASE-R consists of video presentation of three vignettes in which actors portray substance abusers. In the VASE-R, clinicians are prompted to identify or generate written responses consistent with particular MI principles. The VASE-R includes 18 items (6 per vignette) that produce a total score and five subscale scores (i.e., Reflective Listening, Responding to Resistance, Summarizing, Eliciting Change Talk, & Developing Discrepancy). Administration requires presence of a proctor to provide initial instructions (Appendix A), access to TV/VCR equipment, and a Respondent's Booklet for each respondent. The VASE-R takes 35 minutes and can be administered individually or in groups.
