Abstract

Purpose: Few studies include peers in brief motivational interventions (BMIs) for substance misuse. This study tested a peer-enhanced BMI, where friends in emerging adults’ (EAs) social networks attended interventions. Method: Dyads were randomized to Peer-Enhanced Motivational Interviewing (PMI) or waitlist control (WC) conditions (NCT03264872). Seventy-four dyads ( n = 188) enrolled, completing surveys at baseline and then biweekly for 12 weeks. Primary outcomes included cannabis and alcohol problem indices. Supplemental measures were peer supportive behaviors, days of binge drinking, and alcohol-related problems. Linear, quadratic, and piecewise growth models tested differences in trends through 12 weeks. Results: For target clients, most results favored the PMI group with significant differences and moderate effects at select time points. However, these no significant between group differences in trends were observed between conditions through 12 weeks. Peer supportive behaviors increased significantly at 2 weeks among peers receiving PMI, but this effect faded through 12 weeks. Discussion: PMI is a promising dyadic-based treatment for EA substance misuse that should be studied further with larger samples.

青少年滥用药物的同伴增强动机访谈：一项随机研究

目的：很少有研究将同伴纳入药物滥用的简短动机干预（bmi）。这项研究测试了同伴增强的身体质量指数，新成年（ea）社交网络中的朋友参加了干预。方法：将二人随机分为同伴增强动机访谈（PMI）组和等候名单对照（WC）组（NCT03264872）。74对夫妇（n = 188）入组，在基线时完成调查，然后每两周一次，持续12周。主要结果包括大麻和酒精问题指数。补充措施包括同伴支持行为、酗酒天数和酒精相关问题。线性、二次和分段增长模型测试了12周内趋势的差异。结果：对于目标客户，大多数结果倾向于PMI组，在选择的时间点上有显著差异和中等影响。然而，在12周内，各组之间的趋势没有显著差异。在接受PMI的同伴中，同伴支持行为在第2周显著增加，但这种影响在12周后消退。讨论：PMI是治疗EA药物滥用的一种很有前途的二元治疗方法，应该用更大的样本进行进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
