Youth Living in Balance: A Curriculum for Adolescents

超出提供的空间。青年中的药物滥用现在被认为是一个全国性的公共卫生问题(Stevens&Mortal，2003年)。2002年全国药物使用和健康调查报告，青少年(12岁至17岁)的药物依赖或滥用比率为9%，年轻人(18岁至25岁)为22%(SAMHSA，2003年)。2002年，在230万需要戒毒的青年中，只有18.6万人(8.2%)实际接受了戒毒，估计有210万青少年得不到帮助。尽管需要服务的青少年人数不断增加，但对他们的具体成瘾治疗需求重视不足。总体而言，该领域缺乏以研究为基础的、可复制、评估、传播和轻松纳入现有青少年治疗方案的处理青少年药物滥用问题的方法(Dennis等人，2003年)。由于这一不足，一小部分青少年治疗中心使用为青少年设计的方法(SAMHSA 2002)。取而代之的是，大多数药物滥用治疗中心对他们的年轻人使用成人模型，充其量只能产生糟糕的结果或喜忧参半的结果。青春期治疗方案必须了解青春期发育和药物滥用之间的关系，并使用针对这些因素的治疗方法，而不是使用经验证的成人模型的向下扩展(CSAT 2002；Kaminer 2001)。作为对此的回应，丹亚国际公司建议开发和评估青年生活平衡(青年图书馆)-一个创新的，全面的心理教育计划，顾问使用与酒精或其他物质有关的问题青少年使用。拟议的产品将包括一份主持人S指南和一份放松和引导图像录音带/CD。辅导员指南将包括对计划和技能培训的介绍，动机增强技术，以及24个课程的辅导员和参与者材料。青年图书馆将为心理咨询师和其他专业人员(治疗师、心理学家、病例管理人员)设计，供青少年在不同的治疗环境中提供药物滥用服务。青少年药物滥用治疗和治疗工作人员将参与拟议方案的开发和制作。第一阶段将专注于产品开发。第二阶段将集中于最终确定产品和评估青年图书馆计划。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. Substance abuse among youth is now recognized as a national public health concern (Stevens & Mortal 2003). The 2002 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported the rate of substance dependence or abuse as 9 percent for youth (agesl2 to 17) and 22 percent for young adults (ages 18 to 25) (SAMHSA 2003). In 2002, only 186,000 (8.2%) of the 2.3 million youth who needed addiction treatment actually received it, leaving an estimated 2.1 million adolescents without assistance. Despite the rising number of youth needing services, insufficient attention has been paid to their specific addiction treatment needs. 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 et al 2003). Due to this shortfall, a fraction of adolescent treatment centers use approaches designed for adolescents (SAMHSA 2002). Instead, the majority of substance abuse treatment centers use adult models with their youth populations, generating poor to mixed outcome results at best. It is imperative for adolescent treatment programs to understand the relationship between adolescent development and substance abuse and to use treatment approaches that address these factors, rather than using downward extensions of empirically-validated adult models (CSAT 2002; Kaminer 2001). In response to this Danya International, Inc. proposes to develop and evaluate Youth Living in Balance (Youth LIB) - an innovative, comprehensive psychoeducational program for counselors to use with adolescents with problems related to alcohol or other substances. The proposed product will consist of a facilitator' s guide and a relaxation and guided imagery audiotape/CD. The facilitator's guide will include an introduction to the program and skills training, motivational enhancement techniques, and counselor and participant materials for 24 sessions. Youth LIB will be designed for counselors and other professionals (therapists, psychologists, case managers) to use with adolescents presenting for substance abuse services in diverse treatment settings. Youth in substance abuse treatment and treatment staff will be involved in the development and production of the proposed program. Phase I will focus on product development. Phase II will focus on finalizing the products and evaluating the Youth LIB program. PERFORMANCE SITE ========================================Section End===========================================
