Culturally Adapted Drug Treatment for Justice-Involved Youth

This study is looking at how to improve substance use treatment for Black youth (ages 13-17) who are involved with the justice system. It will test a program called the Culturally Adapted Adolescent Substance Use Treatment, which is based on the Cannabis Youth Treatment Series (MET/CBT12 model). This program aims to help reduce alcohol and cannabis use. The study wants to understand if this adapted treatment is practical and acceptable to participants. To join, you must be between 13-17 years old, identify as Black or African American, and be on community probation. Parents/guardians and community advocates can also participate in focus groups and interviews. The study plans to enroll 55 participants, but its current status is unclear.
