“…In the first (Slesnick & Prestopnik, 2009) EBFT was tested against both an office-based version of FFT and TAU for alcohol-using adolescents recruited from runaway shelters. Both EBFT and FFT were superior to TAU in reducing ASU, though all groups showed comparable improvement in family and adolescent functioning.…”

This article updates the evidence base on outpatient behavioral treatments for adolescent substance use (ASU) since publication of the previous review completed for this journal by Waldron and Turner (2008). It first summarizes the Waldron and Turner findings as well as those from more recent literature reviews and meta-analytic studies of ASU treatment. It then presents study design and methods criteria used to select 19 comparative studies subjected to Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology level of support evaluation. These 19 studies are grouped by study category (efficacy or effectiveness) and described for sample characteristics, methodological quality, and substance use outcomes. Cumulative level of support designations are then made for each identified treatment approach: ecological family-based treatment, group cognitive-behavioral therapy, and individual cognitive-behavioral therapy are deemed Well Established; behavioral family-based treatment and motivational interviewing are deemed Probably Efficacious; drug counseling is deemed Possibly Efficacious; and four integrated treatment models combining more than one approach are deemed Well Established or Probably Efficacious. The remainder of the article (a) articulates fidelity, mediator, and moderator effects reported for evidence-based approaches since 2008 and (b) recommends four enhancements to the prevailing business model of ASU outpatient services to accelerate penetration of evidence-based approaches into the underserved consumer base: pursue partnerships with influential governmental systems, utilize web-based technology to extend reach and control costs, adapt effective methods for linking services across sectors of care, and promote uptake and sustainability by emphasizing return on investment. INTRODUCTIONThis article reviews the evidence base on outpatient behavioral treatments for adolescent substance use (Turner, Muck, Muck, Stephens, & Sukumar, 2004). Because practice guidelines in behavioral healthcare now favor on-site treatment over referral for comorbid disorders (see Sacks et al., 2013), behavioral therapists should be fully prepared to manage common ASU problems that present as a secondary reason for referral or an emergent treatment issue. Thus for behavioral health providers who serve teenage populations in a variety of settings, identifying effective treatments for ASU remains a top priority.The following two sections specify the area of intervention science surveyed in this update and recap the Waldron and Turner (2008) findings that are the launching point for review. The remainder of the article summarizes findings from other literature reviews and meta-analytic studies of ASU treatment published since 2008 and introduces the main contributions of the current review; defines the search parameters and inclusion criteria for identifying the final pool of 19 comparative studies subjected to the JCCAP evidence-based treatment evaluation criteria (Southam-Gerow & Prinstein, 2014); describes the main findings of these ...

“…Of the twelve studies included in the systematic review, engagement-related analyses were reported in five studies (Baer et al 2007;Peterson et al 2006;Rotheram-Borus et al 2003;Slesnick and Prestopnik 2009;Slesnick et al 2007). All of these studies were based in the US.…”

“…According to Rotheram-Borus et al (2003), the number of intervention sessions completed varied across the shelters at which the intervention took place, and, in one shelter, was significantly associated with length of stay at the shelter. Slesnick and Prestopnik (2009) speculate on the role of the intervention location (home vs. office), but this was not empirically examined.…”

BACKGROUND: This paper builds on a Cochrane-Campbell systematic review of interventions that reduce harms and promote reintegration in street-connected children and young people focusing on intervention outcomes. The aim of the present analysis is to explore questions raised in the systematic review over the potential role of service engagement in mediating outcomes of relevant interventions.OBJECTIVE: The paper summarises engagement-related findings from quantitative intervention evaluations with street-connected populations of children and young people, as reported by study authors. It seeks to contribute to theoretical and methodological understandings of service engagement with street-connected youth populations and to highlight gaps in current knowledge.METHODS: Drawing on the original search for the Cochrane-Campbell review, we re-screened search results in our database and included quantitative findings if relevant to our current research questions, regardless of study design. Additionally, we sought new study publications from authors whose work was included in the original systematic review. The discussion explores relevant data from five studies included in the original systematic review, ten studies excluded from the review, and two studies published after the completion of the review.RESULTS: The measures of service engagement in the included studies focused on treatment attendance, 'level of engagement', and service satisfaction. Evidence on the impact of service engagement on other outcomes in interventions for street-connected children and young people was limited. Available data on the predictors and impact of service engagement were mixed and appear not to provide robust support for common hypotheses in the relevant context.

“…They concluded that once the drinker enters treatment, family-involved treatment is marginally more effective than individual alcoholism treatment. Recent research using family therapy to treat alcoholism are involved Slesnick and Prestopnik (2009), who used two types of family therapy with alcohol-abusing runaway adolescents and compared the outcomes. Their study demonstrated the efficacy of family therapy in treating alcohol-abuse.…”
