简要总结
This project will pilot test a computer-assisted social network intervention, using motivational interviewing techniques, that can help case managers work with formerly homeless young adults who recently transitioned to supportive housing to reduce substance use and increase permanent supportive connections during this critical transitional period.
详细描述
The goal of this study is to conduct a pilot evaluation of a motivational network intervention (MNI) to reduce substance use and strengthen supportive connections for recently homeless 18-25 year-olds who have transitioned to a housing program. The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate, through a small randomized controlled trial (Stage 1b), the added benefit of incorporating the MNI into case management for transitional age youth (TAY) residents of housing programs. We hypothesized that residents receiving the MNI as part of case management would show more positive changes in their substance use behaviors and the composition and structure of their personal networks (i.e., greater proportion of network members who are low-risk) over a 3-month follow-up period compared to residents receiving usual case management only.
