Abstract

This pilot quasi-experimental trial tested a gender-responsive cognitive behavioral group intervention with 87 court-involved female adolescents (5 juvenile courts) who were at indicated risk for substance use disorder.

Youth in the control condition (n = 30) received services as usual, which included non-gender-specific aggression management training, individual counseling and no services.
