Developing a measure of adolescent recovery capital
Background The Recovery Capital (RC) model encompasses the key factors supporting recovery. Understanding RC, and how it changes over time, is important for supporting recovery processes and evaluating treatment effectiveness. There are 11 validated measures of adults’ RC, but none are validated for adolescents, who have distinct recovery experiences/needs. We conducted a Delphi study with professionals working with adolescents to develop an init…
Adapting the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale to Assess Recovery Identity
BACKGROUND: Initiating and sustaining recovery from substance and behavioral addictions often involves extensive identity transformation. However, there has not yet been a standardized tool to examine identity change as a psychological and social process within the context of addiction recovery. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Recovery Identity Scale (RIS), an adaptation of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Co…
Recovery housing for substance use disorder
Recovery housing, an abstinence-based living environment, is the most widely available form of substance use disorder (SUD) recovery support infrastructure. This systematic review characterized the randomized control trials (RCT) and quasi-experimental designs (QED) research on recovery housing. We conducted a search across PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and CENTRAL published prior to February 2024. For inclusion, studies had to compare recover…
Implementing a Recovery Capital Model Into Therapeutic Courts
Recovery capital is a strengths-based and multi-level model for examining the process and outputs of recovery and desistance. Recovery capital posits that the more positive resources one accrues, the better the chances of recovery. Oftentimes growth of one’s recovery capital must be initiated through identifying programs in the community to create supportive scaffolding: this may be especially true for individuals involved in the justice system w…
Longitudinal Changes in Recovery Capital Among Recovery House Residents With and Without Criminal Legal System Involvement
Individuals with a history of criminal legal system (CLS) involvement may experience additional challenges to their recovery from substance addiction. We compared recovery capital trajectories of individuals in recovery residences with and without the involvement of CLS and assessed predictors of their Overall Recovery Capital Score (ORCS). We employed a quasi-experimental approach using weighted repeated measures modeling to compare the ORCS on …
G-CHIME framework to examine adolescent addiction recovery in alternative peer groups
Using the G-CHIME framework may provide a more comprehensive understanding of youth recovery narratives. This enhanced understanding of pathways taken when participating in recovery support services may help program staff leverage such knowledge to increase engagement and positive outcomes
Examining social identity transition from a relational perspective
Visualizing the Influence of Social Networks on Recovery
Background: Social recovery capital (SRC) refers to resources and supports gained through relationships and is vital to adolescent addiction recovery. Much is known about how substance use relates to social networks, but little is known about how other dimensions of social networks influence recovery (e.g., network size/exposure, degree of conflict). Methods: This mixed-methods study sampled 28 adolescents who received treatment for alcohol and o…
Modeling Recovery Housing Retention and Program Outcomes by Justice Involvement among Residents in Virginia, USA
Living in recovery housing can improve addiction recovery and desistance outcomes. This study examined whether retention in recovery housing and types of discharge outcomes (completed, “neutral,” and “negative” outcomes) differed for clients with recent criminal legal system (CLS) involvement. Using data from 101 recovery residences certified by the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences based on 1,978 individuals completing the REC-CAP asse…
A qualitative examination of addiction disclosure and stigma among recovering adolescents
These results support recommendations for family, peers, and youth-facing providers to engage youth in treatment. Future work should aim to increase disclosure skills and coping strategies for adolescents experiencing AOD recovery, and educational efforts for practitioners, families, and peers on ways to have conversations around AOD recovery with adolescents that best support their recovery
Improving social recovery capital research to enhance clinical utility
Social recovery capital (SRC) is the combination of social resources that can be used to initiate and sustain addiction recovery through friends, family, and peers. Broadly, understanding one's SRC allows us to get a sense of where one has social support for recovery and where there may be social barriers to their recovery process. SRC is often a vital component of many people's recovery journey, yet our understanding of how best to use this conc…

A Socio-Ecological model for collegiate recovery programs
Given the major public health issue of substance use in the college environment and among college students, we must improve our understanding of students attempting to resolve substance related issues. Though much of research and policy attention has focused on individual progress according to personal characteristics and experiences, a much broader, theoretically informed understanding based on interpersonal relationships and contextual conditio…
Parenting to provide social recovery capital
Together, these themes suggest a process of parent change that supports an adolescent's recovery trajectory and increases parenting skills and coping. These themes also highlight how the APG structure enabled this process, generating potential hypotheses for future recovery-oriented research to address
A lot better than it used to be”
With adolescent recovery receiving increased attention from policy makers, practitioners, and researchers, the RCAM may be a useful way to contextualize available resources. Findings suggest SRC as a crucial, yet complex component intertwined with all other forms of recovery capital

Transparency and Reproducibility of Meta-Analyses in Psychology
Systematic review and meta-analysis are possible as viable research techniques only through transparent reporting of primary research; thus, one might expect meta-analysts to demonstrate best practice in their reporting of results and have a high degree of transparency leading to reproducibility of their work. This assumption has yet to be fully tested in the psychological sciences. We therefore aimed to assess the transparency and reproducibilit…

Problematic substance use is a challenge worldwide among adolescents. The recovery process requires holistic support addressing multiple and intersecting substance use risk factors; yet, there remains a lack of evidence on how to best understand and support adolescents in recovery. Recovery capital (RC) is a model that can be used to identify areas of assets that could be enhanced and barriers to address in one’s recovery process; however, this c…

A latent class exploration of adolescent recovery capital
Recovery capital, an ecological model, has been primarily used to study substance use disorder recovery among adults; however, as adolescents comprised 5.1% of substance treatment admissions in 2015 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, 2016), it is worth empirically exploring this model with specific attention to this population. Conditional latent variable mixture model analysis using the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health…

Estimating the Difference Between Published and Unpublished Effect Sizes
Practitioners and policymakers rely on meta-analyses to inform decision making around the allocation of resources to individuals and organizations. It is therefore paramount to consider the validity of these results. A well-documented threat to the validity of research synthesis results is the presence of publication bias, a phenomenon where studies with large and/or statistically significant effects, relative to studies with small or null effect…

Can Brief Alcohol Interventions for Youth Also Address Concurrent Illicit Drug Use? Results from a Meta-analysis
Brief interventions aimed at reducing alcohol use among youth may interrupt a possible developmental progression to more serious substance use if they can also affect the use of other illicit drugs. This meta-analysis examined the findings of recent research on the effects of brief alcohol interventions for adolescents and young adults on both alcohol and illicit drug use. Eligible studies were those using randomized or controlled quasi-experimen…

Pickle or a cucumber?’ administrator and practitioner views of successful adolescent recovery
A key finding of this study, which has not been addressed in existing qualitative studies of youth recovery, is that the understanding of recovery was so diverse and multi-dimensional and provided a view of success beyond sobriety, highlighting the various facets from which practitioners must operate and address recovery. This demonstrates the need for researchers to carefully conceptualize how they operationalize adolescent recovery
