While juvenile drug courts (JDCs) require treatment , youth and parent in treatment cannot be mandated. We compared youths' and parents' self-reports of engagement in Risk Reduction Therapy for Adolescents (RRTA) and Treatment as Usual (TAU) in JDCs. Parents and youth receiving RRTA were more likely than those receiving TAU to report high engagement in treatment. High parent engagement in RRTA early in treatment predicted fewer missed appointments and lower youth substance use at 3 months. Emphasizing therapeutic techniques that increase parent engagement, as utilized in RRTA, could lead to improved participation and clinical outcomes in court-mandated treatment settings.
虽然青少年毒品法庭(JDCs)要求进行治疗,但不能强制要求接受治疗的青少年及其父母参与。我们比较了青少年毒品法庭中青少年和父母对参与青少年风险降低疗法(RRTA)和常规治疗(TAU)的自我报告。接受RRTA的父母和青少年比接受TAU的父母和青少年更有可能报告高度参与治疗。治疗早期父母对RRTA的高度参与预示着三个月时错过的预约更少,青少年药物使用量更低。强调RRTA中使用的增加父母参与度的治疗技术,可能会改善法庭强制治疗环境中的参与度和临床结果。
