Substance Abuse Clinical Trial
Official title:
Brief Strategic Family Therapy for Adolescent Drug Abusers
The purpose of this study is to compare Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) for Adolescent
Drug Abusers to treatment as usual (TAU).
An additional follow up assessment, funded by an American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
grant, was completed 5 years post randomization in order to examine the long term effects of
outpatient treatments for illicit drug using adolescents.
Adolescent drug abuse continues to be one of the most pressing public health issues in the
United States—our nation's teenagers continue to use illicit drugs at a worrisome rate.
Broad reviews of the treatment outcome literature indicate that family interventions in
general, and Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) in particular, are effective with drug
using youth. This study is designed to compare BSFT to treatment as usual (TAU). The
researchers believe that BSFT will be much more effective than TAU in reducing adolescent
drug use. They will also examine which of these treatment approaches does a better job of
engaging adolescents and family members in treatment, decreasing problem behaviors,
decreasing sexually risky behaviors, increasing pro-social activities (e.g., school, work),
and improving the functioning of the family.
With the addition of the extended follow up, we have the opportunity to examine the
sustainability of study outcomes into early adulthood, filling a gap in the treatment
research literature about the long-term effects of adolescent substance abuse treatment. The
follow up study examined the long term effectiveness of BSFT compared to TAU in the rates of
substance use, number of arrests and externalizing behaviors, in youth who received study
treatments at the time when they were adolescents.
