Brief Summary:
This study will focus on treating substance abusing incarcerated teens using individually administered Motivational Interviewing MI followed by group Cognitive Behavior Therapy CBT The control group receives individualized Relaxation Training RT followed by group Treatment as Usual TU Currently there is little research regarding effective group treatments for incarcerated teens and this study will address this gap in our knowledge base We seek to reduce substance use and associated risky behaviors post-release including driving under the influence risky sexual behaviors etc
Detailed Description:
This proposal is in response to RFA-DA-04-008 Group Treatment for Individuals in Drug Abuse or Alcoholism Treatment Of particular interest to the agencies are group therapies for Conduct Disordered adolescents reducing the spread of infectious disease and mechanisms of action This proposal targets these areas of interest This study will focus on treating substance abusing incarcerated teens using 2 individually administered Motivational Interviewing MI sessions followed by 10 group sessions of Cognitive Behavior Therapy CBT MI is conceptualized as preparation for group CBT The control group receives individualized Relaxation Training RT followed by group Treatment as Usual TU Currently there is little research regarding effective group treatments for incarcerated teens and this study will address this gap in our knowledge base
In this proposed randomized trial a one-way design MICBT vs RTTU will be used to determine whether MICBT enhances group therapy participation and reduces substance use and related problems such as crime injuries and unprotected sex post discharge in substance-involved juvenile delinquents RTTU is based on the 12-step model and includes psycho-educational components Participants are followed during incarceration and for 6 months post incarceration Primary outcome variables include alcohol and marijuana use as well as related behaviors illegal activity sex or injuries while drunk or high It is hypothesized that in comparison to teens in RTTU youth receiving MICBT will participate more in therapy according to teen facility staff and counselor ratings and will show lower levels of substance use and related problems after discharge
Frequently substance abuse treatment is unavailable to youths in the juvenile justice system and when treatment is available it may be provided in group format using untested therapies A motivationskills-based intervention delivered in group format may prove efficacious in enhancing motivation and in reducing substance abuse and related problems This study extends previous research by rigorously evaluating group treatment for incarcerated teens We will examine processes contributing to the efficacy of group MICBT and the influence of race and ethnicity on treatment effects The development of effective interventions for substance using juvenile offenders has the potential to reduce substance abuse and crime in this population
