Strategies: Motivational Interviewing/Psychoeducation

Summary

The goal of this research program is to implement and evaluate complementary interventions designed to address underage alcohol, marijuana, tobacco and other drug use and abuse among Native American youth residing in and around nine contiguous Indian reservations in rural portions of a Southern California county.

Component 1. Motivational Interviewing (MI) Evaluations (Identified PHI). Approximately 150 participants between 13 and 20 years of age will participate in the Motivational Interviewing (MI) intervention and one follow-up assessment over an 18 month period. Questionnaires of youth substance use and access patterns will be by phone or self-administered using paper, iPad, and web-based surveys. Formal informed consent from participants 18 and older and assent and parental/legal guardian consent will be obtained from those participants under 18.

Component 2. Psychoeducation (PE) Evaluations (Identified PHI). Approximately 150 participants between 13 and 20 years of age will participate in the Psychoeducation (PE) intervention and one follow-up assessment over an 18 month period. Questionnaires of youth substance use and access patterns will be by phone or self-administered using paper, iPad, and web-based surveys.
