Course Description:
 

This webinar will present a compelling review of the literature that reveals the importance of addressing individual difference variables, such as age, gender and race, to successfully address the needs of adolescents with alcohol and substance use disorders treatment. Treatment approaches and rationales for their use, based on individual difference variables, will be presented and discussed. 

 

Goals:

  1. Participants will learn about the effectiveness of current adolescent SUD treatment practices.
  2. Participants will learn how variables such as race, gender and age, impact the outcomes associated with specific treatments.
  3. Participants will learn how programs and services they could be restructured to better meet the needs of their adolescent with AUDs and SUDs.
