Initial Treatment Effects At 3-months post-discharge, 29% of participants had 30 days of uninterrupted abstinence, 40% had decreased their use substantially, and 56% had decreased life problems. At *6 months post, "abstainers" Males, completers vs. noncompleters=.47 to .78. Same data for females, *6 months post (completers vs. noncompleters)= .55 to .79. NOTE - baseline data not given, could only compare between groups. Significant change between groups decrease in alcohol use over time from pre to post ACC=14% to 5%, usual continuing care (UCC)=11% to 9%; non significant trend change between groups on change in marijuana use pre to post: ACC=40% to 14%, UCC=36% to 19%;  ACC participants were able to sustain abstinence from marijuana for significantly longer the UCC  (90 vs. 31 days) and had a non-signifcant trend toward longer abstinence from alcohol (83 vs. 63 days).  Behavioral group pre vs. 6 months post use= 100% to 27%. Same for control group=100% to .92%. .For adolescents in behavioral treatment, alcohol use decreased by about 50% while in increased by 50% in the control group. Chi-square for difference between groups in use at 6 months post = 10.54 (N=26) with an effect size of 1.65 between behavioral and control groups. NR At 3-month follow-up, adolescents in CBT treatment significantly reduced the severity of their substance use compared with those assigned to IT.  At 3- months post-discharge, alcohol problems improved significantly overall (Mean score 1.1 to 0.5;); with a trend towards more improvement for PET than CBT (PET  mean score 1.4 to 0.6; CBT mean score 0.8 to 0.5). At 3-months post-discharge, substance abuse problems overall improved significantly (mean score 1.7 to 0.8); with a trend towards more improvement for CBT than for PET (PET mean score 1.6 to 1.0; CBT mean score 1.8 to 0.6). Found significant (p<.001) reductions in substance use for all clients: alcohol (F=17.71), cannabis (F=55.51), other drugs (F=37.35). No differences in outcomes between inpatient clients and day treatment (outpatient) clients. Pre to post treatment change in "drug abuse" index CFT=65.00 to 53.40 (SD=10.10). For OPFT=75.60 to 57.50 (SD=13.30). Post treatment comparison of CFT vs. OPFT=57.50 to 53.40 (SD=10.90).   Both conditions were highly effective in improving family functioning and OPFT was slightly more effective in reducing patient symptomatology During the 3-month treatment phase, all interventions reduced days of cannabis use from 36 to 22 (-37.0%, p<.05) and number of substance problems from 3.8 to 2.4 (-37.3%, p<.05).  The short term reduction in marijuana use was significantly larger for ACRA (-35%) and MET/CBT5 (-33%) than for MDFT (-28%).   The short term reduction in problems was significantly larger for FSN (-47%) than for MET/CBT5 (-39%) or MET/CBT12 (-20%). Mean change in days of marijuana use from 0-3 months: Incremental: MET/CBT5=30.5 to 15.6, MET/CBT12= 33.6 to 22.4, MET/CBT12+FSN= 36.4 to 20.0, total incremental=33.6 to 19.3. Alternative: MET/CBT5=39.2 to 26.4, ACRA=35.7 to 23.3, MDFT=38.7 to 27.8, total alternative= 37.8 to 25.7. NR NR Change in substance use index, baseline to 3 months post: OP .11 to .08 (-21%, d = -.18), STR .21 to .10 (-51%, d=-0.47),  LTR  .24 to .06 (-73%, d=-0.72).

Time not given, pre vs. post for users AGT= .96 to .68, FDE=.97 to .66 A significant within-group decrease (improvement) was found for both depressive symptoms and drinking during the course of the study. Drinking days per week (not sig.) Means and st. dev. Pre to post: 2.6 to 1.5 (SD=1.0). Drinks per drinking day= 6.7 to 3.7 (SD=5.4). Beck Depression Inventory= 22.6 to 5.8 (SD=6.4). Data reflects mean percentage days of use (*=significant). *FFT pre-4 month follow-up=54.88 to 24.95. *FFT pre-7 month follow-up=54.88 to 40.10. CBT pre-4month follow-up=52.19 to 52.09.

Group pre-4 month follow-up=66.21 to 55.73. *Group pre-7 month follow-up=66.21 to 41.88. At 7 month follow-up, FFT mean percentage days of use=40.10, CBT=51.13, Joint=36.44, and group=41.88. No between treatment-effects were significant at the 7 month follow-up. Change in R square for assignment to treatment (family group vs. parent group) controlling for many variables (all listed in excel sheet) was 0.17 (effect size=0.35). At 6-month post-intake, percentage using alcohol decreased from 91.4% to 50.7% and % using marijuana decreased from 84.0% to 35.0%. Youth in both intervention conditions demonstrated significant decreases in average number of days using illicit drugs. Pre to post treatment mean days of use FBT decreased from 13.62 to 9.00, ICPS from 14.14 to 9.28, Pre to 6-month follow-up means days of use FBT decreased from 13.62 to 8.61 (post to 6-month 9.00 to 8.61) and for ICPS from 14.14 to 8.35 (post to 6-month 9.28 to 8.35). Logistic chi squared analysis of urine drug assays was significantly different for the active (n=13) versus the placebo (n=12) groups (chi squared 2=4.84, df=1, p=.028). Change in use from pre to end of treatment: MDFT= mean 9.85 to 4.54 (SD=3.77). AGT=8.90 to 7.28 (SD=2.82). MEI=10.29 to 7.76 (SD=3.77). End of treatment MDFT vs. AGT=mean 7.28 to 4.54 (SD=3.30). MDFT vs. MEI= 7.76 to 4.54 (SD=5.10). All are significant.  Difference in marijuana use, Engaged group versus unengaged group = 11.79 to 10.43 (SD=11.60). Engaged group versus unengaged group differences for alcohol use = 2.39 to 1.98 (SD=5.50). NR Self-reported soft drug use was significantly lower (F(1,44)=4.44, p<.041) at posttreatment (from pre) for youths in the MST condition (M=.36) than for youth is in the probation as usual condition (M=1.68). A very low base rate on the hard drug use subscale precluded use of statistical analysis to examine treatment effects. There were significant differences in use of marijuana, alcohol and other drugs for MST from pre-post treatment. There were no differences in drug use for the probation as usual group. At post-treatment, MST adolescents' use of marijuana, alcohol, and other drugs was significantly lower than the probation as usual group, but when controlling for preexisting difference this difference disappeared. Pre to 6 month follow up change in alcohol and marijuana use for MST= 30.00 to 19.00 (SD=34.00). Same change for US = 18.00 to 17.00 (SD=27.00). Alcohol and marijuana use MST vs. probation as usual pre to 6 months post=17.00 to 19.00 (SD=29.00). NR At post-treatment, 55% of adolescents in PBFT made significant decreases in drug use. Only 38% of those in TIPS made similar decreases. Measures of drug use at treatment end were significantly lower for adolescents in the PBFT interention. There were no significant differences between pre and post-treatment for those in TIPS. No between group differences, over time there were differences for alcohol, cannabis, and heroin use between baseline and 3 month follow-up. (page 210 has table). There were no subsequent significant differences between 3 and 6 month follow-up. All stats are reported from baseline to 3 months only. No between group stats were reported. Significant main effect of time for both groups, no differences between groups in measure of days of drinking. % days drinking overall change: pre=29, post=27. Drinks per drinking day overall change: pre=8.6, post=4.9.  NR NR No significant differences between groups, authors reported that all within group comparisons from pre-post test were significant at .001.

NA At 1 year post, "abstainers" Males, completers vs. noncompleters = .54 to .54. Same at 2 years post=.41 to .47.  Females (completers vs. noncompleters) 1 year post= .61 to .72. Same at 2 years post= .40 to .68.  Data out through 9 months post discharge will be forthcoming. NR 40% remained sober all year after discharge, including 22% of those attending no aftercare, 51% of those who occassionally attended aftercare and 60% of those who regularlly attended aftercare. (Attendance in aftercare and sobriety were also significantly higher if parents also participated.)  The percent sober all year also varied significantly by the proportion of friends who were using -- 15% if all were using, 32% if about half, and 75% if none.  Weekly used reduced from 44% to 29%.   At 15-month followup, no treatment group differences were observed. At 12-months post-discharge, alcohol problems improved significantly overall (Mean score 1.1 to 0.3;); mean score change for PET group 1.4 to 0.5; mean score change for CBT group 0.8 to 0.3. At 12-months post-discharge, substance abuse problems overall improved significantly (mean score 1.7 to 0.6); mean score change for PET group 1.6 to 0.6; mean score change for CBT group 1.8 to 0.6.  NR Pre-treatment to follow-up change in "drug abuse" CFT=65.00 to 58.40 (SD=10.10). OPFT=57.50 to 56.10 (SD=10.90). Follow-up comparison of CFT vs. OPFT=56.10 to 58.40 (SD=14.00). Overall reductions were sustained through month 12 (22 days and 2 problems, respectively), but the differences between conditions averaged out.
