Scientific titleA Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Youth With Concurrent Disorders
Study objectivesThe integration of mindfulness-based skills training into a standardised brief substance abuse treatment for youth (i.e. Treatment As Usual [TAU]) will be associated with better treatment outcomes than the standardised treatment (TAU) alone on the following outcomes, including number of substance use days, confidence to resist substance urges, and acquisition of mindfulness skills. Additional analyses will explore the extent to which the experimental treatment condition is related to better outcomes on measures of negative consequences of substance use, psychiatric symptoms, emotion dysregulation, self-compassion, rates of transfer to further treatment, and premature treatment termination. A number of individual differences variables expected to influence treatment responsivity will be examined, including stage of readiness for change, substance use severity, and childhood trauma.
