Preventing Opioid Use Among Justice-involved Youth as They Transition to Adulthood Leveraging Safe Adults (LeSA)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Opioid Use, Substance Use
In brief
Across the US, substance use is a significant public health concern, with juvenile justice (JJ)-involved youth representing a particularly vulnerable population. The current study proposes to adapt and test an intervention Trust-based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) for preventing initiation and/or escalation of opioid misuse among older adolescents involved in the JJ system. Successful completion of study aims will provide information on TBRI's utility for older JJ adolescents, barriers and facilitators of sustainment, and provide training and implementation support for sustainment in participating facilities.
