The study designs eligible for inclusion were controlled trials (a controlled trial typically includes at least two groups, an intervention/experimental group and a control group, and outcome measures recorded pre-and posttreatment, see Lindstrøm et al, 2013 for a definition), either randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCTs (QRCTs), or non-RCTs (NRCTs).…”

This review evaluates the evidence on the effects of brief strategic family therapy (BSFT) on drug use reduction for young people in treatment for nonopioid drug use. Method: We followed Campbell Collaboration guidelines to prepare this review and ultimately located three studies for final analysis and interpretation. Results: The results are mixed: BSFT does not seem to have better or worse effects on drug use frequency and family functioning than other treatments but has positive effects on treatment retention compared to control conditions. Longer retention in treatment has been identified as a consistent predictor of a favorable outcome from drug use treatment. Discussion: Although it is possible that the length of follow-up in the included studies was insufficient to detect significant changes, it should be noted that the evidence we found was limited, in terms of both the number of studies and their quality.

“…For example, there is strong attention to study details, study quality per se (e.g., Becker & Curry, ; Sprenkle, ), as well as conflicting interpretations of findings from a single study or, usually via meta‐analysis, from a set of studies (Kazdin, ). Controversies exist about program effectiveness (Drug and Alcohol Findings, ; Henggeler, Schoenwald, Borduin, & Swenson, ; Littell, , ; Littell, Popa, & Burnee, ; Ogden & Hagen, ; The Campbell Collaboration, ), approach evaluations (discussed in Lindstrøm et al., ; Gambrill & Littell, ; and van der Stouwe, Asscher, Stams, Dekovi'c, & van der Laan, ), transporting family based interventions across cultures (Burkhart, ), trademarking and brand naming of established therapies (Bean, ; Eisler, ; Imber Black, ), and the unavailability of evidence‐based therapy training for most practitioners (Barth et al., ; Hogue, Henderson, Ozechowski, & Robbins, ). And, these discussions inform suggestions about needed work.…”

Adapting and Implementing an Evidence‐Based Treatment with Justice‐Involved Adolescents: The Example of Multidimensional Family Therapy

For over four decades family therapy research and family centered evidence-based therapies for justice-involved youths have played influential roles in changing policies and services for these young people and their families. But research always reveals challenges as well as advances. To be sure, demonstration that an evidence-based therapy yields better outcomes than comparison treatments or services as usual is an accomplishment. But the extraordinary complexity embedded in that assertion feels tiny relative to what we are now learning about the so-called transfer of evidence-based treatments to real world practice settings. Today's family therapy studies continue to assess outcome with diverse samples and presenting problems, but research and funding priorities also include studying particular treatments in nonresearch settings. Does an evidence-based intervention work as well in a community clinic, with clinic personnel? How much of a treatment has to change to be accepted and implemented in a community clinic? Perhaps it is the setting and existing procedures that have to change? And, in those cases, do accommodations to the context compromise outcomes? Thankfully, technology transfer notions gave way to more systemic, dynamic, and frankly, more family therapy-like conceptions of the needed process. Implementation science became the more sensible, as well as the theoretically and empirically stronger overarching framework within which the evidence-based family based therapies now operate. Using the example of Multidimensional Family Therapy, this article discusses treatment development, refinement, and implementation of that adapted approach in a particular clinical context-a sector of the juvenile justice system-juvenile detention.
