Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Alcohol Use
Time Frame: 3 month follow-up
Alcohol use was measured by looking at frequency of use in past 30 days with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), reported at the 3 month follow-up. The mean of each the control and intervention group was used. Frequency of use ranged from 0 to 5 for the follow-up sample. Higher scores mean more frequent use of the substance.
Drug Use
Time Frame: 3 month follow-up
Drug use was measured by looking at frequency of use in past 30 days with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), reported about marijuana use at the 3 month follow-up. The mean of each the assessment only and intervention group was used. Scores ranged from 0 to 13 for the follow-up sample. Higher scores mean more frequent use of the substance.
Child Abuse Potential
Time Frame: baseline and 3 month follow-up
Change score was calculated by taking the follow-up scores on the Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory (BCAP) and subtracting the baseline score. The possible total score for the BCAP ranges from 0 to 24. Therefore, the possible range of scores for the change calculation (reported below) is -24 to +24. Higher scores indicate higher risk at the follow-up visit (worse outcome).
Treatment Engagement
Time Frame: at 3 month follow-up
The number of participants who reported seeking outpatient substance abuse treatment since baseline (either at a treatment facility or through outpatient counseling).
Secondary Outcomes
- Depression(at 3 month follow-up)
