About

Family Talk, an evidence-based parent-youth dyadic intervention, is a promising approach to improving substance use outcomes for high-risk families, and its structure lends itself to delivery by existing personnel within an Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) model of care. The investigators propose a single-arm pilot study with 25 parent-youth dyads through which a rapid cycle performance improvement approach will be employed to adapt and optimize the content and delivery of the embedded Family Talk prevention strategy. The investigators will field-test relevant baseline and outcome measures and will use qualitative methodology to identify key modifications to the intervention and generate hypotheses for how the prevention strategy may impact youth and family outcomes and prevent youth substance use. Information from this study will inform a subsequent pilot randomized controlled trial of the intervention to prevent substance use for youth whose parents are in recovery from SUD (substance use disorder).
