Area of Science:

Addiction Prevention
Adolescent Health
Behavioral Science

Background:

The Moti-4 intervention was designed to prevent addiction and health issues in adolescent cannabis users.
Aims include reducing cannabis use and increasing motivation for behavioral change.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and pilot-test the Moti-4 intervention for adolescent cannabis users.
To assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention.

Main Methods:

Intervention Mapping and responsive evaluation were used for intervention development.
A pilot study with pre- and post-assessment (N=31) evaluated changes in cannabis use and motivation.

Main Results:

Significant reductions in weekly cannabis spending (€17.77 to €11.95) and frequency of use (4.3 to 2.4).
Statistically significant increases in planning to change (d=0.44) and desire to quit (d=0.76).
Feasibility study informed manual improvements based on user feedback.

Conclusions:

Intervention Mapping effectively combined theory and community input for intervention development.
The pilot study indicates positive changes in cannabis use and motivation.
Further controlled research is needed to establish effectiveness and standard implementation.
