title: ENROLLING AND ENGAGING HIGH-RISK YOUTH AND FAMILIES IN COMMUNITY-BASED, BRIEF INTERVENTION SERVICES.
abstract: Increasing interest has been shown in Brief Interventions for troubled persons, including those with substance abuse problems. Most of the published literature on this topic has focused on adults, and on the efficacy of these interventions. Few of these studies have examined the critical issues of enrollment and engagement in Brief Intervention services. The present paper seeks to address the shortcomings in the current literature by reporting on our experiences implementing NIDA funded, Brief Intervention projects involving truant and diversion program youth.
