The need for effective culturally responsive treatments has become more urgent as the number of ethnic minority clients continues to increase. Previous research with a clinically referred sample of substance-abusing African American inner-city teenagers found that treatment engagement increased when cultural content was incorporated in the therapeutic process (Jackson-Gilfort, Liddle, Tejeda, & Dakof, 2001). This article amplifies these findings by offering clinical guidelines for how to develop and implement culturally specific interventions that contribute to the therapeutic engagement of African American adolescent males. Clinical outcomes may be improved by integrating culturally responsive intervention methods within a multisystemic approach to the adolescent's treatment.
随着少数民族客户数量持续增加，对有效的文化响应性治疗的需求变得更加迫切。先前针对临床转介的滥用药物的非裔美国市中心青少年样本进行的研究发现，当治疗过程中融入文化内容时，治疗参与度会提高（杰克逊 - 吉尔福特、利德尔、特赫达和达科夫，2001年）。本文通过提供临床指南来强化这些发现，这些指南涉及如何开发和实施针对非裔美国青少年男性的文化特定干预措施，以促进治疗参与度。通过将文化响应性干预方法整合到针对青少年治疗的多系统方法中，临床结果可能会得到改善。
