In the 2007–2015 period, 3,317 adolescents (ages 12 to 17 years) were treated for acute alcohol intoxication, and 37 adolescents were admitted to the hospital twice. Alcohol intoxication has an overrepresentation in “low” school levels. The 37 recidivists were more often male. During the second admittance, the period of non-consciousness was longer (four versus two hours). Six recidivists had lower educational levels when measured during the second admittance. The decline in educational level between the first and second hospital admittance suggests the negative impact of alcohol intoxication on school performances. Additional research is needed on the causal relation between (heavy) alcohol use and child development.","PeriodicalId":46463,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CHILD & ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE","volume":"27 1","pages":"42 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1067828X.2017.1396515","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44650862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, achieving goals during the course of treatment may increase self-efficacy, which could positively predict outcome. Research in clinical samples of adults with alcohol use disorder supports the utility of treatment goal choice in predicting longitudinal outcomes; a total abstinence (TA) goal choice has been associated with better clinical outcomes (e.g. greater percentage of days abstinent, more days to relapse to heavy drinking) compared to a controlled use (CU) goal choice. Treatment of adolescents presents unique challenges, because adolescents tend to be resistant to treatment and often enter treatment in response to external pressures (e.g. parent, school system). Data from 110 adolescents aged 14 to 18 were collected upon admission to outpatient substance use disorder treatment. A series of hierarchical linear regressions was used to test the utility of the alcohol treatment goal choice variable in predicting drinking outcomes at 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-ups. Separate models were run to examine binge drinking days, percentage of days abstinent, and drinks per drinking day at each time point. Goal choice significantly predicted drinking outcomes at the 12-month follow-up, but not at the 6- or 24-month time points, such that TA goal choice was associated with better clinical outcomes. These findings are relevant to treatment planning, as they suggest that goal choice may have clinical utility as a predictor of alcohol use disorder clinical course in adolescents.</p>","PeriodicalId":46463,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CHILD & ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE","volume":"27 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1067828X.2017.1384776","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37085983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study showed that peer educators thought peer education to be a highly effective method for the prevention of substance abuse. To improve the effectiveness of the program, it was recommended that it be started during middle school instead of high school, that families and local institutions be involved in the program, and that the students be directed to participate in arts, sports, and social activities.","PeriodicalId":46463,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CHILD & ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE","volume":"27 1","pages":"76 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1067828X.2017.1411303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43883820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MST-SA is designed to treat adolescents with substance use disorders and is based on the work of Budney and Higgins (1998) and Azrin and colleagues (2001). Budney and Higgins have developed an effective treatment for adult cocaine abusers titled Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA). CRA is a form of contingency management (an evidence-based treatment for substance use disorder), which consists of frequent drug testing, an extensive reward system, functional analyses of triggers for drug use, plans to address triggers for drug use, and drug refusal skill training. Azrin and colleagues (2001) have developed an effective treatment for adolescents with substance use disorders, which includes an extensive list of rewards adolescents can earn for having negative drug screens. This article discusses results from an adaptation pilot, a randomized clinical efficacy trial, an effectiveness trial, and transportability pilots of MST-SA. Overall, results have been favorable for MST-SA, and efforts to transport MST-SA are underway with more than 30 transportability pilots of MST-SA in the United States, England, and Denmark.","PeriodicalId":46463,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CHILD & ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE","volume":"27 1","pages":"59 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1067828X.2017.1411301","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49142745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some have posited that the individual symptom clusters of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may actually represent distinct and unrelated disorders, providing impetus for examining whether or not they differentially predict alcohol use. Low self-control has consistently been found to be a predictor of alcohol use; therefore it is expected to be the driving force behind ADHD's predictive power for understanding alcohol use. Using the Pathways to Desistance data, this research sought to examine the relevance of this symptom cluster for understanding alcohol use among juvenile offenders. Utilizing group-based trajectory modeling, six alcohol use trajectories across adolescence were identified among the sample of juvenile offenders. Multinomial logistic regression indicated that Predominantly Inattentive Presentation predicted membership to the high chronic drinking pattern, while Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation did not predict membership to any trajectory. The Combined Presentation was found to be the best predictor of membership to the high chronic drinking group. These findings provide impetus for further exploration of the inattentive symptom cluster so that mechanisms by which it affects alcohol use may be better understood.","PeriodicalId":46463,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CHILD & ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE","volume":"27 1","pages":"86 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1067828X.2017.1411304","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46961404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
