Actual (reported)This project will modify Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT; n=15) and Alanon/Naranon Facilitation (ANF; n=15) for use with parents who are concerned about an out-of-treatment adolescent. ANF was selected as a comparison because Alanon and Naranon are the most commonly available method for helping family members. The investigators will compare CRAFT for parents (CRAFT-P) (n=77) and ANF (n=77) to determine if there is a significant difference in adolescent treatment entry. Parents will attend a maximum of 18 sessions with a family specialist and also complete questionnaires periodically over a 12-month period. Parents' adolescents will have the opportunity to participate in the study by completing questionnaires at the same time points as their parent. Our primary hypothesis asks whether participants who are enrolled in the CRAFT-P condition will report more adolescent treatment entry than the ANF condition. Our secondary hypotheses examine: 1) reductions in adolescent substance use and behavior problems in the CRAFT-P group compared to the ANF condition, 2) improvements in parenting skills in the CRAFT-P group compared to the ANF condition and 3) significant pre to post treatment effects for improvements in social functioning, mood, and in parent-adolescent relationship satisfaction.

Actual (reported)Treatment Entry
The primary outcome measure is treatment entry of the adolescent substance user. This data will be collected via the Supplemental Services Form which is completed by parent participants prior to each session with their specialist and during follow-up assessments. The form is also completed by the adolescent at each follow-up up assessment. Parents or adolescents may also inform study staff of treatment entry at any time during the study.

All parents will be scheduled for 12 individual Community Reinforcement and Family Training for parents (CRAFT-P) training sessions within 120 days and allowed to use up to 6 additional emergency sessions at any time up to the 12-mo follow-up. The first session will last 90 min; the remaining sessions will be 50 - 60 min in duration. Emergency sessions typically last 30 - 60 min and are used to assist the parent with crisis situations during the treatment period (e.g., adolescent violence, arrest) or for booster sessions after.

The philosophy of Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) is that drug abuse is caused by multiple biological and environmental factors, many of which are beyond the parents' control. However, because parents have an important relationship with their child, they may able to influence his or her behavior. CRAFT for parents (CRAFT-P) will teach the parent new ways to interact with their child. Sessions will be designed to build the parents' motivation to comply with the training, conduct a functional analysis of their child's drug use pattern, train methods of behavior management and communication skills, enrich the parent's life and to suggest and motivate treatment entry.

Al-Anon Facilitation (ANF) parallels the Twelve Step Facilitation intervention developed by Nowinski et al. (1992) for Project MATCH. The content focuses on introducing parents to Alanon or Naranon's purpose and philosophy, educating about 12-step concepts, the fellowship community, denial and enabling, acceptance, caring detachment, and surrendering to a higher power. The trainer's role is to help the parent to gain insight into the ways they interact with their child and to educate and encourage the parent to become actively involved in a 12-step community and to take advantage of its many offerings.
