Rehabilitation for Homeless Adolescent Substance Abusers at a Halfway House in Korea

Abstract

A rehabilitation program based on a cognitive-behavioral approach may improve the hope and self-efficacy of homeless adolescent substance abusers at a halfway house and help them to reintegrate into society.

Interventions for promoting reintegration and reducing harmful behaviour and lifestyles in street‐connected children and young people: a systematic review

“…Baer 2007 specified no location, but similar to Peterson 2006, the study authors (who included the first author of Peterson 2006) were based at the University of Washington. Hyun 2005 was conducted in Seoul, Korea.…”

“…Participant ages ranged from three to 25 years. Mean ages for participants were as follows (in ascending order): 14.8 (Milburn 2012); 14.8 (Slesnick 2005); 15.4 (Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 CRA; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 EBFT; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 MET); 15.5 (Hyun 2005); 15.6 (Rotheram‐Borus 2003); 16.5 (Cauce 1994); 17.4 (Peterson 2006); 17.9 (Baer 2007); 18.7 (Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CM; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CRA; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 HIV; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 MET); 19.2 (Slesnick 2007/08); 19.47 (Rew 2007) and 21.2 (Nyamathi 2012/13 AM; Nyamathi 2012/13 HPP). Participants in Slesnick 2009 EBFT and Slesnick 2009 FFT were between 12 and 17 years old.…”

“…The total percentages of male participants in these studies were as follows (in ascending order): 33.8% (Milburn 2012); 41.1% (Slesnick 2005); 47.5% (Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 CRA; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 EBFT; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 MET); 51% (Rotheram‐Borus 2003); 52.6% (Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CM; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CRA; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 HIV; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 MET); 54.7% (Peterson 2006); 55% (Slesnick 2009 EBFT; Slesnick 2009 FFT); 56% (Baer 2007); 57% (Cauce 1994); 61% (Rew 2007); 66% (Slesnick 2007/08); 70% (Nyamathi 2012/13 AM; Nyamathi 2012/13 HPP) and 100% (Hyun 2005). In summary, many studies had a majority population of young men.…”

“…The largest ethnic groups in each study, as described by study authors, were: 58% Caucasian (Baer 2007); 59% white (Cauce 1994); 74% Korean Christian (Hyun 2005); 61.6% Hispanic (Milburn 2012); 58% white (Nyamathi 2012/13 AM; Nyamathi 2012/13 HPP); 72.3% Caucasian (Peterson 2006); 58% white (Rew 2007); 59% African American (Rotheram‐Borus 2003); 41.1% Hispanic (Slesnick 2005); 41.1% Anglo‐American (Slesnick 2007/08); 44% Hispanic (Slesnick 2009 EBFT; Slesnick 2009 FFT); 65.9% African American (Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 CRA; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 EBFT; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 MET); and 65.6% African American (Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CM; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CRA; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 HIV; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 MET). Thus, in six studies the largest ethnic group was described as white, Caucasian, or Anglo‐American; in three studies the largest ethnic group was described as Hispanic; in three studies the largest ethnic group was described as African American; and in one study the majority represented a religious minority of majority ethnicity.…”

“…• Literacy: not measured in included studies. • Numeracy: not measured in included studies. • Self esteem: measured in two studies (Cauce 1994; Hyun 2005). • Depression: measured in seven studies (Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CM; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 CRA; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 HIV; Carmona 2014/Slesnick 2015 MET; Cauce 1994; Hyun 2005; Nyamathi 2012/13 AM; Nyamathi 2012/13 HPP; Slesnick 2005; Slesnick 2009 EBFT; Slesnick 2009 FFT; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 CRA; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 EBFT; Slesnick 2013/Guo 2014 MET). • Participation in education: not measured in included studies. • Participation in skills‐based (rather than exploitative) employment: not measured in included studies. • Reduced use of violence: measured in two studies (Slesnick 2005; Slesnick 2009 EBFT; Slesnick 2009 FFT). • Increased contact with family: measured in one study (Slesnick 2009 EBFT; Slesnick 2009 FFT). • Participation in intervention planning and delivery: not measured in included studies.…”
