Adolescence and Substance Useby Rick Sampson, American Institutes for Research (03-15-07) An Overview
Adolescence and Substance Use • How does substance use impact adolescents? • What is the scope of the issue? • Challenges to responding effectively • Yielding results: promising practices
Adolescence and Substance Use How does substance use impact adolescents? • Societal messages • Family involvement • Experimentation/use/abuse/ dependence • The promise of recovery
Adolescence and Substance Use Societal Messages • Beyond perception of risk to perception of self • Better living through chemistry • The double bind
Adolescence and Substance Use Family Involvement • Parental use/abuse • Sibling use/abuse • Losing the childhood you never had
Adolescence and Substance Use Experimentation/Use/Abuse/ Dependence • Developmental denial • Motivational focus • Who am I?
Adolescence and Substance Use The Promise of Recovery • Going away so we can go home
Adolescence and Substance Use What is the Scope of the Issue? • 1.5 m (6.1% youth aged 12 to 17) needed alcohol treatment in the past year and only about 111,000 youth (7.2% of those needing alcohol treatment) received specialty treatment for alcohol in the past year. • 1.4 m youth (5.4%) needed illicit drug use treatment in the past year and only about 124,000 (9.1% of those needing illicit drug treatment) received specialty treatment for an illicit drug. • Youth aged 12 to 17 who were in need of substance use treatment in the past year and did not receive treatment were not likely to perceive a need for substance use treatment.
Adolescence and Substance Use What is the Scope of the Issue?

Adolescence and Substance Use Yielding results: promising practices • Data Review • Review of two promising practices
CSAT is helping the field move towards evidence-based practice (EBP) by: • Introducing reliable and valid assessment that can be used • At the individual level to immediately guide clinical judgments about diagnosis/severity, placement, treatment planning, and the response to treatment • At the program level to drive program evaluation, needs assessment, and long term program planning • Introducing explicit intervention protocols that are • Targeted at specific problems/subgroups and outcomes • Having explicit quality assurance procedures to cause adherence at the individual level and implementation at the program level • Having the ability to evaluate performance and outcomes • For the same program over time • Relative to other interventions
CSAT Adolescent Treatment (AT) Outcome Data Set Recruitment: 1998-2006 (updated annually) Sample: The 2006 CSAT adolescent treatment data set included data with 1 to 4 follow-ups on 12,690 adolescents from 96 local evaluations Levels of Care: Early Intervention, Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Short, Moderate & Long term Residential, Corrections Based and Post Residential Outpatient Continuing Care Instrument: Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) (see www.chestnut.org/li/gain) Follow-up: Over 80% follow-up 3, 6, 9 & 12 months post intake Funding: CSAT contract 270-2003-00006 and 72 individual grants
