Topics: |
Adolescent Offenders |
| |
Drug abuse and related risk behaviors by young offenders are among the nation’s most urgent public health priorities. While there have been important advances in the development of specialized treatments for the constellation of risk behaviors associated with teen drug abuse in the past decade, little progress has been made in addressing the overwhelming problem of drug abuse and related risk behaviors among juvenile detainees. Facilitating Adolescent Offenders’ Reintegration from Juvenile Detention to Community Life will:
-
Adapt existing science-based interventions in order to develop specialized services that will address drug abuse, delinquency, and sexual risk taking among juvenile detainees.
-
Test an innovative, phasic, multiple-systems intervention in which the in-detention work provides a platform for the adolescent’s return to the community.
-
Test a family-based HIV/AIDS prevention intervention in comparison to standard HIV prevention. |
