This study examines the impact of tailored computer-delivered and therapist-delivered brief motivations prevention/interventions both for adolescents who have not initiated marijuana use (prevention), and those who use marijuana (intervention). Key moderators of prevention/intervention effectiveness will be examined, including behavioral intentions, self-efficacy, stage of change, school involvement, susceptibility to peer pressure, and potential health consequences such as STD/HIV risk behaviors. This project will provide the critical first step toward the development and implementation of marijuana use prevention/intervention programs that have the potential to be delivered to a large segment of youth who seek care in our nation's primary care settings.
This study will focus on treating substance abusing incarcerated teens using individually administered Motivational Interviewing (MI) followed by group Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).

We seek to reduce substance use and associated risky behaviors post-release (including driving under the influence, risky sexual behaviors, etc.)
