Brief behavioral interventions for substance use in adolescents: a meta-analysis.
Adolescents with problematic substance use (SU) are at risk for far-reaching adverse outcomes. The objective of this study was to synthesize the evidence regarding the effects of brief behavioral interventions for adolescents (12-20 years) with problematic SU. The investigators concluded that the use of a behavioral intervention called motivational interviewing reduced heavy alcohol use, alcohol use days, and SU-related problems in adolescents but did not reduce cannabis use days.
