Abstract

Problem: Though a substantial amount of research substantiates a link between childhood trauma and later substance abuse, there is a lack of research regarding what types of trauma treatments work best in the prevention of substance abuse for victims of childhood trauma. Research Question: Which adolescent trauma treatment programs in Ohio have the lowest rates of substance abuse following intervention? Design: We propose a cross sectional descriptive study examining a random sample of adolescent trauma treatment programs and their success rates in preventing substance abuse. Sample: This study would randomly select 5 adolescent trauma treatment programs in Ohio which complete follow-up assessments which include questioning about substance abuse/use with clients’ post-treatment. From each of these agencies, we would randomly select 50 adolescent cases from each program for analysis. Analysis: Using the collected data, we would complete a frequency distribution and calculate measures of central tendency on SPSS in order to describe the sample. We would also run chi-square to explore trends of association between treatment programs and outcome as well as one-way ANOVA to examine differences in the rates of substance use after the completion or treatment.
