Trial of a Novel Brief Intervention on Health Behaviors for Youth With Chronic Medical Conditions

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Substance Use

In brief

The primary goal of this project is to develop a tailored screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) model for youth with chronic medical conditions (YCMC) for delivery at point of care during a routine healthcare visit, through conducting a rigorous randomized control trial among adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes (TID) or rheumatologic conditions. The secondary goal is to assess the attitudes and knowledge of parents of these same adolescents, to explore links between parent beliefs and adolescent behavior around substance use.
