Interventions

Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT)behavioral

BSFT is a family therapy approach that consists of 12 to 16 sessions (each 1 to 1.5 hours long) over a 4-month period during the Main Study, and up to 8 "booster" sessions. Interventions are delivered to adolescents and relevant family members in non-restrictive community settings (e.g., clinics, homes, school).

Treatment as Usualbehavioral

TAU varies depending on site, however each will offer services that include at least 1 therapy session (individual or group therapy) per week during the Main Study, as well as participation in ancillary services (e.g., case management, self help groups, etc.) over a four month period.
