104: “He does not lecture you. He informs you on ways where you get yourself together. He informs you if there is help. I felt that way cause the way it was talking to me, once I picked a topic, he went straight to it. It woke me up on that part.” 108: “I think it’s a healthy tool—I think a lot of the patients could use it—they’re not gonna just tell you stuff. Helps provider help patient.” 104: “...I definitely have a family member I’d like Raven to meet.”

104: “Raven could get down with more details on drug use. If we are talking about cocaine, the photos have to be about cocaine. The man lying on the street, cocaine does not do that to you. The Lexington market part that’s good. The man that dips down that was good.”

101 I like how she (Raven) used words, like “mess with” 105: “I liked the shots of areas all throughout the program. It seemed like home. Some of these shots are fantastic.”

| Utility of information |
102: “I knew some things...hearing from computer was like hearing it for the first time.” 108: “How he gave you information about what cocaine does when you have HIV—how it affected your body.” 102: “It had all the reasons why I use drugs.”
|
101: “Add more info about HIV, add how to cope with HIV. More medical information about HIV, about how drugs can increase medical breakdown.” 102: ”At end of session, give patients resources” “Some of this information about drugs and HIV I have not heard before” 101: “—add how it suppresses the immune system—especially with crack and meth—more specifics on HIV”

| Utility of behavioral skills |
108: “Learned good ways of trying to not use the drug. Made me think about real reasons of why I did start using.” 103: “AVOID – COPE- ESCAPE—was the best thing. Add more time and have him talk a little more about that.”
|
109: “AVOID -COPE-ESCAPE is weak. I would like to see a “plug-in” so you can form your strategy to avoid using.“ 101: “The computer could probably be a little longer. The program could go longer. As far as more resolutions. How to problem solve a little bit more.”

| Motivational impact |
102: “...how many days not to get high made me think I could cut down 1 day. That maybe I can get it...it was touching...really touching to me” 108: “It gives you a little positive points in your life. Makes you reflect on some things. What the cocaine did to me stood out particularly.” 107: “He made me feel pushed to continue not to use drugs.” 102: “I can try harder not to use and I can do it.” 105: “It gets you to really thinking about the questions they’re asking—think about situations you put in and reasons why you are choosing to get high or choosing to use drugs.” 101: “I felt encouraged to quit, I did not feel obligated to...” 104: “How ACE (avoid, cope and escape skill) works that was more motivating than anything. Telling me what my trigger is, and how to spend my money, it said manicure lasts longer than a high.”
|
104: “ More on how, if we neglect ourselves, and keep using and keep going down the spiral staircase, how the results will really end up. It really needs to be slapped in the face with what the outcome is.” 102: “I could have been pushed more on the consequences.”
