About this study

Official title: Tailored Youth Drug Intervention In Primary Care

This study examines the impact of tailored computer-delivered and therapist-delivered brief motivations prevention/interventions both for adolescents who have not initiated marijuana use (prevention), and those who use marijuana (intervention). Key moderators of prevention/intervention effectiveness will be examined, including behavioral intentions, self-efficacy, stage of change, school involvement, susceptibility to peer pressure, and potential health consequences such as STD/HIV risk behaviors. This project will provide the critical first step toward the development and implementation of marijuana use prevention/intervention programs that have the potential to be delivered to a large segment of youth who seek care in our nation's primary care settings.

Read the detailed description

The primary care setting represents an underutilized venue for prevention interventions addressing drug use/abuse among youth. The purpose of the study is to: (1) develop and refine promising, empirically-derived, BMI prevention/intervention modules delivered by a clinician or a computer to target marijuana use, and (2) test the effectiveness of BMI in preventing initiation/escalation of marijuana use among youth in community health clinics. This randomized controlled trial screened adolescents in primary care clinics in Flint, MI. A random sample of those who screened negative for past year marijuana use were selected to participate in the study and all subjects who screened positive for past year use were enrolled in the study. These subjects were stratified by gender, age, and past year marijuana use and randomized to one of three conditions: 1) computer-delivered brief motivational approach (BMI-C); 2) therapist-delivered brief motivational approach (BMI-T); or 3) a NIDA drug education booklet. Primary outcomes are evaluated at 3-, 6- and 12-months and include marijuana, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. Key moderators of effectiveness will be examined, including behavioral intentions, self-efficacy, stage of change, school involvement, susceptibility to peer pressure, and potential health consequences (e.g., STD/HIV risk behaviors). This project will provide the critical first step toward the implementation of tailored marijuana prevention and intervention in primary care clinics.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. marijuana use

    initiation of marijuana use or escalation of use

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use

    initiation of drug use (defined as tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs), escalation of substance use within substances (e.g., increased frequency of use), escalation of drug use to other substances (movement from tobacco to alcohol, or alcohol to marijuana, or marijuana to other "harder" drugs

    Measured: 12 months

  2. risk involvement

    delinquency, peer affiliation and social context influences

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BMI-T and BMI-C in people with Marijuana Use, run by University of Michigan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

marijuana use (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01329315, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Apr 2014.
