Research shows that interventions for substance use disorders may be helpful in reducing internalizing disorders in adolescents. This paper examines the prevalence and reductions of anxiety and depression symptoms among youth receiving substance use treatment.
Four hundred eighty adolescents ages 12-17 who received treatment for substance abuse as part of the Brief Strategic Family Therapy effectiveness trial were screened for anxiety and depression using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-Predictive Scales (DISC-PS). Twelve-month post-randomization assessments were completed by 327 parents and 315 youth. Sixty-five percent of the sample was found to have probability of at least one anxiety disorder or depression diagnosis.
Significant reduction of anxiety and depressive symptoms and significant reductions in probable anxiety and depression diagnoses were observed at follow-up. Few differences by treatment type and by ethnic group were noticed.
Findings indicate that substance use interventions might help reduce the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms and the probability of these disorders.
研究表明,针对物质使用障碍的干预措施可能有助于减少青少年的内化障碍。本文旨在研究接受物质使用治疗的青少年的焦虑和抑郁症状的患病率和减少情况。
本研究对 480 名年龄在 12-17 岁之间、作为简短战略家庭治疗有效性试验的一部分接受物质滥用治疗的青少年进行了筛查,使用儿童诊断访谈表-预测量表(DISC-PS)筛查焦虑和抑郁症状。327 名家长和 315 名青少年完成了随机分组后 12 个月的评估。65%的样本被发现至少有一种焦虑障碍或抑郁诊断的可能性。
随访时观察到焦虑和抑郁症状显著减轻,以及可能的焦虑和抑郁诊断显著减少。治疗类型和族裔群体之间几乎没有差异。
研究结果表明,物质使用干预可能有助于减少焦虑和抑郁症状的发生率,以及这些障碍的可能性。
