ATTAIN is a 5 year, $2.4 million project funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) which provides individual and family community-based interventions primarily to Hispanic/Latino and African-American adolescent offenders with alcohol and drug problems.  Maintaining community-based clinics is an important component as we try to overcome barriers that have prevented minority youth and their families from participating in interventions in the past.  The aim of the study is to develop more effective interventions for adolescents, and particularly minority juvenile offenders, with alcohol problems.  Juvenile offenders with substance use problems show higher rates of offending, more violent offenses, and more chronic substance use problems.  While little is known about the effectiveness of substance abuse treatment for juvenile offenders, behavioral, family and motivational interventions show the greatest promise in the few studies performed to date.
