DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal is to continue the development and evaluation of Youth Living in Balance (Youth LIB), an innovative, comprehensive psychoeducational program for counselors to use with adolescents ages 13 to 18 with problems related to alcohol or other substances, and their families. In 2002, only 8.2 percent of the estimated 2.3 million youth who needed addiction treatment received it, leaving an estimated 2.1 million adolescents without assistance (SAMHSA, 2003). Overall, the field lacks research-based, manualized approaches to adolescent substance abuse that can be replicated, evaluated, disseminated, and easily integrated into existing youth treatment programs (Dennis, 2002; Riggs, 2003). Youth LIB will serve this purpose by integrating research-based approaches into a replicable, manualized psychoeducational program that can be easily integrated into existing treatment centers and will specifically meet the developmental needs of adolescents ages 13 to 18 and their families. This developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive program will contain a facilitator's guide that will include the following sections: (1) an introduction and overview of how to use the program; (2) counselor, participant, and family materials for 12 core client sessions that include motivational engagement techniques to increase adolescent motivation for treatment and adoption of healthy behaviors; and (3) counselor, participant, and family materials for eight supplemental sessions. In Phase I, Danya developed the full content for the facilitator's guide and 12 core treatment sessions, and conducted an Advisory Panel content review and feasibility study with professional stakeholders. In Phase II, we aim to incorporate recommended changes to Youth LIB; develop and incorporate family content into the core psychoeducational sessions; develop content for eight supplemental sessions; conduct an outcome evaluation of Youth LIB to determine curriculum efficacy; and finalize the curriculum based on the results of the pilot evaluation. Given the shortage of research-based psychoeducational curricula for adolescents with substance use problems and their families, Youth LIB should contribute to public health by improving services and outcomes for these youth.

描述（由申请人提供）：此第二阶段小企业创新研究（SBIR）提案的目的是继续开发和评估平衡的青年生活（青年LIB），这是一项创新的，全面的心理教育计划，用于辅导员与13至18岁的青少年使用与酒精或其他物质有关的问题，以及他们的家庭。2002年，在估计230万需要戒毒治疗的青少年中，只有8.2%的人得到了治疗，估计有210万青少年得不到援助（SAMHSA，2003年）。总的来说，该领域缺乏基于研究的，手动的方法，青少年药物滥用，可以复制，评估，传播，并容易融入现有的青年治疗方案（丹尼斯，2002年;里格斯，2003年）。青年LIB将通过将基于研究的方法整合到可复制的，手动的心理教育计划中来实现这一目的，该计划可以很容易地整合到现有的治疗中心，并专门满足13至18岁青少年及其家庭的发展需求。这个适合发展和文化敏感的计划将包含一个主持人的指南，其中包括以下部分：（1）介绍和概述如何使用该计划;（2）顾问，参与者和家庭材料的12个核心客户会议，包括动机参与技术，以增加青少年治疗和采取健康行为的动机;和（3）顾问，参与者，和家庭材料的八个补充会议。在第一阶段，Danya开发了主持人指南的全部内容和12个核心治疗课程，并与专业利益相关者进行了咨询小组内容审查和可行性研究。在第二阶段，我们的目标是将建议的变化纳入青年LIB;开发并将家庭内容纳入核心心理教育课程;开发八个补充课程的内容;进行青年LIB的成果评估，以确定课程的功效;并根据试点评估的结果最终确定课程。鉴于缺乏以研究为基础的心理教育课程，青少年与物质使用问题及其家庭，青年图书馆应有助于公共卫生，改善服务和成果，为这些青年。
