Family-Based Protocol for Medication Integration in Treatment of Comorbid ASU/ADHD in Routine Care
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Adolescent Substance Abuse, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
In brief
The goal of this proposal is to develop and pilot a brief protocol designed to systematically integrate pharmacological interventions for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) into behavioral treatment services for adolescent substance users with comorbid ADHD in everyday care. ADHD is a prevalent co-occurring condition for adolescent substance use (ASU) that can significantly impede successful ASU treatment but is vastly under-diagnosed and undertreated among ASU clients in agency settings. Moreover, ADHD medication acceptance and compliance is particularly difficult to achieve in high-risk adolescent populations.
