    Lora L Passetti, Susan H GodleyARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2008

    Clinicians in adolescent substance abuse treatment programs often recommend attendance at 12-Step meetings; however, there has been no systematic study of their referral practices or possible influence on attendance rates. Quantitative and qualitative data were used to examine: (a) the self-help referral practices of clinicians employed in adolescent substance abuse treatment programs; and (b) the potential relationship between practices and self…

    Bryan R Garner, Susan H Godley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2008

    Given the importance of the therapeutic alliance in achieving positive treatment outcomes, research is needed to illuminate the factors that contribute to the development of this important relationship. The aim of the current study was to expand upon the existing literature by examining predictors of the early therapeutic alliance among adolescents treated in two outpatient programs. Use of multilevel modeling techniques revealed that the majorit…

    This study compared the characteristics and treatment outcomes of rural adolescents with urban adolescents in substance abuse treatment programs in CSAT's Strengthening Communities for Youth (SCY) initiative.

    Susan H Godley, Lora L Passetti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2008

    The American Society on Addiction Medicine's Patient Placement criteria are commonly used in adolescent treatment. However, the use of these criteria and how they affect the course of treatment and interact with adolescent change has not been examined. Twelve-month treatment patterns were examined for 176 adolescents who entered their first ever episode in a treatment system using these criteria. Forty-one percent of the adolescents received addi…

    Michelle K White, Susan H Godley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2004

    This exploratory study used in-depth interviews with 12 adolescent participants and four parents to describe their perceptions of outpatient substance abuse treatment. Adolescents found treatment to be different than they had expected, expressed preferences for different session formats (group, individual, family), and defined treatment success in different ways than their parents. There were no common themes regarding what adolescents and parent…

    Susan H Godley, Nora Jones et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2004

    Comparisons of well-developed practice-based interventions with research-based interventions are rare. This quasi-experimental study compares the outcomes of 274 adolescents (75% male; 63% weekly+ users; 54% dependent; 27% prior treatment; 73% with co-occurring problems) who received Chestnut Health System's best-practice Outpatient Treatment (CHS) or Cannabis Youth Treatment (CYT) research-based interventions. Ninety-five percent of participants…

  • A Low-Cost Follow-Up Resource

    Open AccessLora L Passetti, Susan H Godley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Evaluation2000Cited by: 1

    Many evaluations depend on follow-up interviews, and low attrition rates can help strengthen internal and external validity. The process of locating participants can consume significant evaluation resources. The World Wide Web is an inexpensive tracking tool offering cost-effective and time-saving access to several information networks and agencies that may provide information on program participants. The use of the World Wide Web as a tracking t…

  • Dimensionality of the Attitudes toward Disabled Persons Scale Revisited

    Open AccessMarilyn Hafer, W Wright et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1983

    Data from the responses of 104 medical and rehabilitation students to the Attitudes toward Disabled Persons Scale-Form B (ATDP-B) were factor analyzed using a principal components solution, with particular attention to the problem of the number of factors to retain. Bartlett's test of the residuals was significant after the extraction of one factor, suggesting a multifactor solution. Conversely, examination of eigenvalues using the scree test, an…
