Inclusion Criteria

Youth placed in one of the participating institutions are eligible for inclusion in our screening measurement, provided they have been there for at least two weeks.
Youth who report substance use (cannabis and/or alcohol) during the 12 months prior to our screening measurement are eligible for inclusion in our CMB training.

Exclusion Criteria

- Insufficient proficiency with the Dutch language, as this will interfere with the participants' ability to understand the materials.

- Youth placed in a Very Intensive Care (VIC) or Forensic Observation and Guidance ward (Forensische Observatie en Begeleidingsafdeling; FOBA) are not eligible for participation as the testing would be too intrusive in their treatment programs.
