Effects of substance use treatment on recidivism for youth in need of treatment
Decision-Making Styles as a Moderator on the Efficacy of the StaySafe Tablet Intervention
Background: People with substance use disorders often differ in their decision-making styles. The present study addressed the impact of two decision-making styles (rational and dependent) on outcomes from a StaySafe tablet computer app intervention designed to improve decision-making around health risk behaviors and previously found to be effective for justice-involved people receiving treatment for a substance use disorder and under community su…
Recidivism Among Justice-Involved Youth
Recidivism, and the factors related to it, remains a highly significant concern among juvenile justice researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. Recent studies highlight the need to examine multiple measures of recidivism as well as conduct multilevel analyses of this phenomenon. Using data collected in a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded Juvenile Justice-Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal Syste…
Predictors of Physical Altercation among Adolescents in Residential Substance Abuse Treatment
This study tested the hypothesis that basic social information-processing components represented by family conflict, peer aggression, and pro-aggression cognitive scripts are related to aggression and social problems among adolescents in substance abuse treatment. The sample consisted of 547 adolescents in two community-based residential facilities. Correlation results indicated that more peer aggression is related to more pro-aggression scripts;…
Development and Validation of a Client Problem Profile and Index for Drug Treatment
The development of the Client Problem Profile and Index are described, and initial concurrent and predictive validity data are presented for a sample of 547 patients in outpatient methadone treatment. Derived from the TCU Brief Intake for drug treatment admissions, the profile covers 14 problem areas related to drug use (particularly cocaine, heroin/opiate, marijuana, other illegal drugs, and multiple drug use), HIV risks, psychosocial-functionin…

Engagement Models for Adolescents in Datos-A
Based on the importance of during-treatment activities for improving outcomes, relationships between patient background, treatment readiness, and therapeutic engagement were examined in a national sample of adolescents admitted to 20 treatment programs representing three modalities. Patients with higher readiness for treatment at intake subsequently became more therapeutically involved, replicating previous findings on relationships between motiv…
The Development and Validation of a Simpatia Scale for Hispanics Entering Drug Treatment
A 17-item simpatia scale was developedfor use with Hispanic substance abusers using confirmatoryfactoranalytic techniques in a sample of 144 daily opioid users. The overall scale had good internal consistency and demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity. The simpatia scale was constructed to examine social attributes reflecting agreeableness, respect of others, and politeness. The Agreeableness subscale addressed issues related to agreei…
Depression and Decision-Making among Intravenous Drug Users
Two short scales, the TCU Depression Scale and the TCU Decision-making Scale, were psychometrically evaluated in a sample of 145 intravenous drug users. Coefficient alpha reliabilities were .78 for the 6-item TCU Depression Scale and .77 for the 9-item TCU Decision-making Scale. Concurrent validity of the former scale was assessed by correlating scores with those on the Beck Depression Inventory, r = .75. Based on the Beck Depression Inventory Cl…
Physical Symptoms and Psychological Distress Among Inhalant Users
A sample of 110 Mexican American adolescents, consisting of subjects with a variety of toxicant inhalant use histories ranging from no use to heavy chronic use, was studied as part of a 4-year follow-up project to determine relationships of inhalant use with health problems, physical symptoms, and psychological adjustment. Self-reports of health problems were not related to inhalant or other drug use histories. However, analysis of blood specimen…
Prediction of Long-Term Alcohol Use, Drug Use, and Criminality Among Inhalant Users
Predictors of drug use and other deviant behaviors were examined in a 4-year follow-up study of 110 Mexican American adolescents of low socioeconomic status admitted to a drug abuse prevention program. Results indicated that parental influences had only minor predictive power for outcomes at follow-up, while associationis with deviant peers were strongly related to alcohol and drug use as well as involvement in criminal activities. Significant re…
Reasons for Inhalant Use
The reasons for initiation and quitting toxicant inhalant drug use were examined in a sample of 110 Mexican American adolescents. Results supported the etiological importance of availability, psychologicalproneness, sensation-seeking and curiosity, parental and home problems, and peer influences. In this sample, however, the role of parental problems and peer influences in starting inhalant use were not as influential as the literature suggests f…
Parental Influences on Inhalant Use by Children
Characteristics of the parents of Mexican American drug users were examined. Interviews with 78 mothers showed that a large percentage were not following the traditional path of marriage, childbirth, and caring for their children at home on a full-time basis. Adherence to traditional roles was related to the mother's age, education, alcohol use, depression, and her child 's depression, but was not related to heroin druguse, criminality, or home e…
An Integrative Model for Drug Use Severity Among Inhalant Users
Two alternative conceptual models, a psychological-peer model and an integrative model, for explaining inhalant use in early adolescence and drug use severity in later adolescence among Mexican American youth were tested using linear structural equations (LISREL). The models addressed the interrelationships of peer deviancy, psychological vulnerability, availability of inhalants, family environment, acculturative stress, and low social assets and…
Inhalant Use by Mexican American Youth
Acculturation Influences on Inhalant Use
The relationship of acculturation and cultural influences to inhalant use was studied in a sample of 110 Mexican American adolescents and their mothers. The analyses examined both the direct relationship of acculturation with outcomes, including inhalant use, as well as the possible indirect relationship of acculturation through socialization, socioeconomic, and psychological variables, with outcome measures. Little support was found for the dire…
Mortality rates among opioid addicts in a longitudinal study
Mortality rates and survival curves were estimated for a sample of opioid addicts who had survived to an initial six-year follow-up interview. A total of 52 of the 555 addicts died between the six-year and 12-year follow-up interviews, which corresponds to an average of 13.8 deaths/1,000 person years. This rate is 6.9 times greater than the general population, adjusting for age. Approximately 29 per cent of the deaths were due to violence and 48 …

A Multivariate Test for Sequential Moderation
An analytic procedure is presented which casts sequential moderator analysis in the role of a multivariate test of parallelism of regressions. The procedure addresses a test for comparing predictor-criterion relationships for one set of measurements on multiple predictors and repeated measurements on a criterion. The application of the sequential moderation test to issues associated with dynamic criteria is discussed
Addict death rates during a four-year posttreatment follow-up
Mortality rates were examined among 3,324 Black and White daily opioid drug users for a four-year period following treatment in community-based agencies located across the United States. A total of 179 of these addicts died during this follow-up period, yielding a death rate of 15.2 per 1,000 person-years at risk. When adjusted for age, addict death rates were found to be three to 14 times higher than those in the general US population. Life tabl…
Substance Abuse and Arrests Variations in Pretreatment Arrests of Clients in Drug Treatment Programs
This study examines variations in pretreatment arrest patterns of clients admitted to federally funded drug treatment programs. Data from published annual reports of the Client Oriented Data Acquisition Process (CODAP)‐the nationol monitoring system of drug abuse treatment‐are used. Variations based on sex and age are found, but not for race. The type of drug abuse was associated with differential arrest patterns. The results suggested that cocai…
Impression Management And Attitudes Toward Marihuana Use
The applicability of the impression-management model (Tedeschi, Schlenker & Bonoma, 1971) for predicting attitudes measured in the field was investigated. Archival data involving attitudes related to marihuana use and marihuana-use behaviors were used to test the model. Normative values related to marihuana use were estimated from the attitudes expressed by parent-age adults (PARENT, N=494). Adolescents who had no opportunity to use marihuana (NO…
