Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of a Transdiagnostic, Emotion-focused Group Intervention for Young Adults With Substance Use Disorders (NCT NCT03315208)

NCT ID: NCT03315208

Last Updated: 2021-04-01

Results Overview

Participants in the UP condition will complete the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) at post-treatment to assess acceptability of and satisfaction with the experimental intervention. Range of the scale is 8 (minimum) to 32 (maximum), with higher scores indicating greater levels of satisfaction with treatment received.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from November 2017 to July 2019 from an outpatient treatment program for adolescents and young adults with substance use disorders.

Participants were randomized in cohorts of 5. Thus, participants underwent a "waiting to be randomized" period from enrollment until the date they were randomized. 9 participants were excluded between the point of enrollment to randomization; 8 due to not meeting inclusion criteria, and 1 withdrawn by the PI while waiting to be randomized.

Measure
Unified Protocol + Treatment As Usual
Participants in this arm are offered 16 twice-weekly group UP sessions in addition to TAU at an existing comprehensive outpatient program for adolescents and young adults with substance use disorders. Unified Protocol (UP): The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) is an evidence-based psychological intervention designed to be applied across anxiety, depressive, and other disorders in which emotion dysregulation is central. The UP targets shared temperamental vulnerabilities to emotional disorders through emotion-focused CBT strategies. Treatment as Usual (TAU): Treatment as Usual consists of some combination of group therapy, individual therapy, and/or psychopharmacology appointments at an existing comprehensive outpatient program for adolescents and young adults with substance use disorders.
