We would like to start by acknowledging our other government, research and clinical colleagues, as well as the adolescents and their families who made this study possible. As I think you will see in the course of this presentation, we have worked together well to bridge the gap between research and practice and have some great news to share with you today.

CYT Cannabis Youth Treatment Randomized Field Trial One of the largest studies ever conducted of adolescent outpatient treatment, CYT involves a multi-center collaboration of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), (blue star), two of the country's largest providers of adolescent treatment, Operation Par in Florida and Chestnut Health System in Illinois, and two of our nationa's major medical centers, the Univ. of CT Health Center and the Children's Hosptial of Philadelphia (green boxes) as well as a coordinator center (red circles) led by Chestnut Health Systems with support from staff at UCHC and the University of Miami Coordinating Center: Chestnut Health Systems, Bloomington, IL, and Chicago, IL University of Miami, Miami, FL University of Conn.

Objectives Describe the development of manual-guided, cost-effective, outpatient treatment interventions for adolescent drug abusers. Summarize methodological advances in assessment, retention, supervision, and follow-up Summarize evidence on their cost, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness Examine the diffusion of these methodological and substantive advances to the field. Let me start by briefly telling you about why this study was so important. Marijuana use is starting at increasingly younger ages, with most starting in Junior high school and many starting even before that. While there have been some recent reductions in use of 1 or 2 percent, the rates of adolescent use are literally twice as high as they were in 1992 for 8th graders. Marijuana use is six times more likely to lead to problems related to dependence among adolescents as adults Weekly adolescent marijuana use is associated with 3 to 40 times more emotional, behavioral, family, school and legal problems. Marijauana is now the leading substance mentioned in adolescent emergency room admisisons and autopsies

The Adolescent Marijuana Problem (circa 1997-1998) Use was starting at younger ages Was at an historically high level among adolescents Potency increased 3-fold from 1980 to 1997 Was three times more likely to lead to dependence among adolescents than adults Was associated with many health, mental and behavioral problems Was the leading substance mentioned in adolescent emergency room admissions and autopsies Let me start by briefly telling you about why this study was so important. Marijuana use is starting at increasingly younger ages, with most starting in Junior high school and many starting even before that. While there have been some recent reductions in use of 1 or 2 percent, the rates of adolescent use are literally twice as high as they were in 1992 for 8th graders. Marijuana use is six times more likely to lead to problems related to dependence among adolescents as adults Weekly adolescent marijuana use is associated with 3 to 40 times more emotional, behavioral, family, school and legal problems. Marijauana is now the leading substance mentioned in adolescent emergency room admisisons and autopsies

The State of Adolescent Treatment (circa 1997-1998) Marijuana related admissions to adolescent substance abuse treatment increased by 115% from 1992 to 1998 Over 80% of adolescents entering treatment in 1998 had a marijuana problem Over 80% were entering outpatient treatment Over 75% received less than 90 days of treatment (median of 6 weeks) Evaluations of existing adolescent outpatient treatment suggest that adult models or less than 90 days of outpatient treatment is rarely effective for reducing marijuana use. No empirically evaluated treatment manuals were publicly available to help expand or enhance the system From 1992 to 1997 the number of marijuana related admissions to adolescent substance abuse treatment doubled. Of adolescents admitted to treatment in 1997, over 80% had a marijuana problem - more then even alcohol. Over 80% of these adolescents are treated in outpatient settings. Unfortunately evaluations of existing outpatient treatment practice have produced mixed results - with treatment outcomes ranging from decreasing use by 15% to increasing use by as much as 10%. Moreover the handful of research studies that had been conducted were plagued by methodological problems such has having less then half the adolescents finish treatment and/or complete follow-up interviews.

Purpose of CYT To learn more about the characteristics and needs of adolescent marijuana users presenting for outpatient treatment. To adapt evidence-based, manual-guided therapies for use in 1.5 to 3 month adolescent outpatient treatment programs in medical centers or community based settings. To field test the relative effectiveness, cost, cost-effectiveness, and benefit cost of five interventions targeted at marijuana use and associated problems in adolescents. To provide validated models of these interventions to the treatment field in order to address the pressing demands for expanded and more effective services. From here on from Dennis, Titus et al., under review

Design Target Population: Adolescents with marijuana disorders who are appropriate for 1 to 3 months of outpatient treatment. Inclusion Criteria: 12 to 18 year olds with symptoms of cannabis abuse or dependence, past 90 day use, and meeting ASAM criteria for outpatient treatment Data Sources: self report, collateral reports, on-site and laboratory urine testing, therapist alliance and discharge reports, staff service logs, and cost analysis. Random Assignment: to one of three treatments within site in two research arms and quarterly follow-up interview for 12 months Long Term Follow-up: under a supplement from PETSA follow-up was extended to 30 months (42 for a subsample)

Demographic Characteristics As shown here, the sample was predominately, male, caucasion or African American, 15 to 16 and from single parent households. With a sample size of 600 and follow-up rates over 95%, however, we are also able to break out large numbers of females and adolescents under the age of 15. Source: Tims et al, 2002

Institutional Involvement In addition to their families, most adolescents were also involved with several other systems - including school, work, the criminal justice system, and high cost controlled environments. NOTE ONLY - controlled environment includes jail, hosptials, mental institutions, etc. Source: Tims et al, 2002

Patterns of Substance Use 100% 73% 80% 71% 60% 40% 17% 20% 9% As shown here, most of the adolescents were using tobacoo and marijuana regularly. It is important to note that marijuana use among these adolescents is quite heavy. 1 out of 5 were smoking the equivallent of 20 or more joints in a day - typically in the form of a 3 to 6 joint blunt. Many are also regular alcohol users and/or spent significant time in a controlled environment prior to treatment.

Interventions being replicated as part of over four dozen studies currently or about to go into the field 20 to 30,000 copies of each of the 5 manuals distributed to policy makers, providers, individual clinicians and training programs (via NCADI or www.chestnut.org/li/apss ) The Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) assessment has been used in over 70 subsequent adolescent treatment studies and combined into one large data base that will be used to support case mix adjustments, benchmarking and meta analysis Supervision, Retention, and Follow-up models also being replicated in these adolescent treatment studies

CYT was part of a Renascence of Adolescent Treatment Research/Practice From 1998 to 2002 the number of adolescent treatment studies doubled and has doubled again in the past 2 years – with over 100 currently in the field Source: Dennis &, White (2003) at www.drugstrategies.org.

Conclusions The CYT interventions provide replicable models of effective brief (1.5 to 3 month) treatments that can be used to help the field maintain quality while expanding capacity. While a good start, the CYT interventions were still not an adequate dose of treatment for the majority of adolescents. The majority of adolescents continued to vacillate in and out of recovery after discharge from CYT. More work needs to be done on providing a continuum of care, longer term engagement and on going recovery management. Adolescent treatment can be cost effective and cost beneficial to society CYT also helped to spur a new wave of methodological improvements related to assessment, supervision, retention, and follow-up that benefit researchers, evaluators, and program planners
