Abstract

Youth between 18 and 25 years old are among the most active drug abusers in any community globally, including in Hong Kong. Disturbing evidence about the deleterious effects of drug use on their physical and psychological health has been reported. However, a literature search found very few outcome studies on the psychosocial treatment models for young Chinese people. The present study is one of the first that has systematically developed and implemented an innovative and culturally attuned integrated cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) model that comprises motivational interviewing, CBT and relapse prevention in helping Chinese youth with drug abuse problems in an Asian community.
