ABSTRACT. Objective: The aim of this research was to study marijuana use, associated risks, and response to brief motivational intervention among young adult drinkers treated in an emergency department. Method: Study participants (N = 215; ages 18-24) were in a randomized controlled trial for alcohol use that compared motivational interviewing with personalized feedback (MI) with personalized feedback only. Pastmonth marijuana users were compared with nonusers on demographics, readiness, self-effi cacy, and behavioral risk variables. Marijuana use was examined as a potential moderator of alcohol outcomes. Whether marijuana use alone or combined marijuana and alcohol use would be reduced as a result of brief intervention for alcohol was examined at 6 and 12 months. Results: Current marijuana users were younger, were more likely to be white, and reported more alcohol use, other illicit drug use, and more alcohol-related consequences than nonmarijuana users. Marijuana use at baseline did not moderate response to brief alcohol treatment. Marijuana use declined from baseline to 6 months for both treatment groups, but only MI participants continued to reduce their use of marijuana from 6-to 12-month follow-up. Reductions in number of days of use of marijuana with alcohol appeared to be primarily a function of decreased alcohol use. Conclusions: Young adult drinkers reporting current marijuana use are at generally higher risk but responded to brief alcohol treatment by reducing alcohol and marijuana use. , 1988) and in adult ED patients treated for alcohol problems (Woolard et al., 2003); and greater injury-related risk has been shown among patients using both alcohol and marijuana (Soderstrom et al., 1988;Woolard et al., 2003).Medical settings provide an opportunity for screening (Chung et al., 2003) and early intervention with non-treatment-seeking alcohol and marijuana users (Degutis, 2003). ED studies of brief motivational interventions (BMIs) for alcohol have demonstrated positive outcomes with older adolescent and young adult samples (Monti et al., 1999(Monti et al., , 2007. Although studies have effectively targeted multiple risk behaviors for injury among adolescents in the ED (Johnston et al., 2002), we found no published studies that targeted multiple substances with older adolescents or young adults in ED settings. However, BMI has reduced both alcohol and marijuana use among adult ED patients more than standard services (Woolard et al., 2008). A few studies have targeted multiple substances with college students, and a recent study examined adolescent substance use in a general medical setting. D'Amico and colleagues (2008) found greater reduction of marijuana use in a BMI compared with usual services among at-risk adolescents recruited in a primary care clinic. BMI and written personalized feedback were effective in reducing alcohol, nicotine, and marijuana use with mandated college students (White et al., 2006(White et al., , 2007, and non-help-seeking college students decreased alcohol, nicotine, and ...

“…Time spent on the internet (online) was explored through a question which, for the last week, asked patients to indicate how many hours they used the internet per day. Finally, the Brief Situational Confidence questionnaire (BSCQ) was modified to refer to internet and utilized to assess the patients' confidence to resist the temptation to start using the internet again in various situations (Breslin et al 2000). Please note that the questionnaire data is utilized purely as supportive information, the main focus in analyses is placed on the therapists experiences, derived from session reports and case review minutes.…”

In 2009, one of the major Dutch addiction care organizations initiated a pilot program to explore the possibility of using an existing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing based treatment program ('Lifestyle Training') to treat internet addiction. The current study evaluates this pilot treatment program by providing a qualitative analysis of the experiences of the therapists with the treatment of 12 selfproclaimed internet addicts. Therapists report that the program, which is ordinarily used for substance dependence and pathological gambling, fits the problem of internet addiction quite well. Interventions mainly focused on controlling and reducing internet use, and involved expanding (real life) social contacts, regaining a proper daily structure, constructive use of free time, and reframing beliefs. Therapists further indicated that the treatment achieved some measure of progress for all of the 12 treated patients, while patients reported satisfaction with the treatment and actual behavioral improvements.Keywords Internet addiction . Treatment . Cognitive behavioral therapy . Motivational interviewing . Thematic analysis Within Dutch addiction care, there is a growing interest in the treatment of internet addiction. A recent report concluded that while the prevalence is low, each of the ten largest Dutch public addiction treatment organizations is aware of a small, slowly growing group of patients that can be seen as 'internet addicts' (Meerkerk et al. 2009a). Most of these patients experience problems controlling their use of internet pornography or online videogames. Counselors in addiction care are often unaccustomed to the specific needs and Int

BACKGROUND Substance use is an alarming public health issue associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Adolescents and emerging adults are at particularly high risk because substance use typically initiates and peaks during this developmental period. Mobile health apps are a promising data collection and intervention delivery tool for substance-using youth as most teens and young adults own a mobile phone. However, engagement with data collection for most mobile health applications is low, and often, large fractions of users stop providing data after a week of use. OBJECTIVE Substance Abuse Research Assistant (SARA) is a mobile application to increase or sustain engagement of substance data collection overtime. SARA provides a variety of engagement strategies to incentivize data collection: a virtual aquarium in the app grows with fish and aquatic resources; occasionally, funny or inspirational contents (eg, memes or text messages) are provided to generate positive emotions. We plan to assess the efficacy of SARA’s engagement strategies over time by conducting a micro-randomized trial, where the engagement strategies will be sequentially manipulated. METHODS We aim to recruit participants (aged 14-24 years), who report any binge drinking or marijuana use in the past month. Participants are instructed to use SARA for 1 month. During this period, participants are asked to complete one survey and two active tasks every day between 6 pm and midnight. Through the survey, we assess participants’ daily mood, stress levels, loneliness, and hopefulness, while through the active tasks, we measure reaction time and spatial memory. To incentivize and support the data collection, a variety of engagement strategies are used. First, predata collection strategies include the following: (1) at 4 pm, a push notification may be issued with an inspirational message from a contemporary celebrity; or (2) at 6 pm, a push notification may be issued reminding about data collection and incentives. Second, postdata collection strategies include various rewards such as points which can be used to grow a virtual aquarium with fishes and other treasures and modest monetary rewards (up to US $12; US $1 for each 3-day streak); also, participants may receive funny or inspirational content as memes or gifs or visualizations of prior data. During the study, the participants will be randomized every day to receive different engagement strategies. In the primary analysis, we will assess whether issuing 4 pm push-notifications or memes or gifs, respectively, increases self-reporting on the current or the following day. RESULTS The microrandomized trial started on August 21, 2017 and the trial ended on February 28, 2018. Seventy-three participants were recruited. Data analysis is currently underway. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, SARA is the first mobile phone app that systematically manipulates engagement strategies in order to identify the best sequence of strategies that keep participants engaged in data collection. Once the optimal strategies to collect data are identified, future versions of SARA will use this data to provide just-in-time adaptive interventions to reduce substance use among youth.
