Abstract:
Much of the work in adolescent substance abuse assessment and treatment has been a direct transport from tools and modalities used in adult substance use populations. There was a consensus among symposium participants that developmental issues are important in assessment, evaluation, and treatment of adolescents with substance use disorders. These issues directly impact outcome at all levels. Presentations from the symposium may be helpful for conceptualizing the problems of adolescent substance use as well as formulating strategies for future research. Information from the symposium may be viewed as a springboard for future research and clinical intervention in adolescent substance abuse.
