“…The systematic review of related literatures found mixed results regarding the outcome measures examined in the individual studies. Positive outcomes suggested that SFBT can be beneficial in helping students reduce the intensity of their negative feelings, manage their conduct problems, improve academic outcomes like credits earned, and positively impact externalizing behavioral problems and substance use (22)(23)(24). The Franklin et al (2008) (23) study showed that SFBT improved the outcomes of children in a school setting regarding classroom and behavioral problems that could not be resolved by teachers, principals, or school counselors.…”

Background: Adjustment and coordination with environment is indispensable to all people. Objectives: The aim of present study was to determine the effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy in increasing adjustment of high school female students. Materials and Methods: This study was based on an experimental pretest-posttest design including 30 female students of Amol high school in academic year 2011 -2012.The participants were selected by purposive non-convenience sampling methods, randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, who completed the Bell's adjustment questionnaire in pre-test phase. Thirty subjects with scores close to mean were selected and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Solution-focused brief therapy intervention for experimental group was carried out in 5 sessions followed by performing posttest on the two groups. The data obtained were then analyzed using MANCOVA. Results:The results showed that solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) was effective in increasing adjustment of the students (P < 0.0006), as well as increasing 3 subscales of adjustment questionnaire comprising home adjustment (P < 0.0006); health adjustment (P < 0.0006); and social adjustment (P < 0.0003); but had no effect on affective adjustment (P < 0.081). Conclusions: Considering the significant effect of SFBT interventions on increasing adjustment in young students, the training of school counselors can be an effective means for youth to achieve their goals and decrease some problems in the community.

“…One program, Adolescent Decision-Making for the Positive Youth Development Collaborative, combined two classroom-based programs and adapted them for use in an afterschool program (Tebes et al 2007). The remaining three programs, the SAM (solution, action, mentorship) program (Froeschle et al 2007), the Adolescent Social Action Program (Velarde et al 2002), and Project CHOICE (D'Amico and Edelen 2007), were originally designed for non-classroom use but implemented primarily within school environments. All six programs resulted in statistically significant reductions in substance use when compared to control groups.…”

“…Group members are free to introduce any questions or concerns, allowing the intervention to be targeted for each participant (Froeschle et al 2007). The counselor then responds utilizing techniques from solution-focused brief therapy, including scaling, finding exceptions, and the miracle question.…”

Substance use prevention programs empowering individual adolescents to resist substance use through education and skills training are crucial to reducing substance use within this population. However, existing programs of this type are designed primarily for classroom use, and may not meet the needs of social workers intervening with adolescents outside classroom settings. A literature review identified six programs that have demonstrated statistically significant reductions in substance use when implemented outside the classroom. The current study describes these programs, identifies their common characteristics, and draws on additional prevention research to outline recommendations for practitioners seeking to apply the field's most current knowledge base in community settings.
