Family-Based Drug Services for Young Disaster Victims
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Substance Abuse, Families, Trauma
In brief
This protocol seizes this rare scientific opportunity to test an integrative family based model to address youths' coexisting substance abuse and trauma in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The study would address a number of gaps in the current evidence base related to understanding and treating comorbid teen drug abuse and trauma that may be initiated or exacerbated in the wake of disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. This study would compare two promising interventions for youth with comorbid trauma and substance abuse, family-based treatment and group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), potentially yielding new and vital information about effective treatment for substance abusing youth following traumatic events.
