The current study addresses this gap by examining the efficacy of Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) as compared to Counseling as Usual (CAU) for 194 African American adults seeking outpatient substance abuse treatment. MET was not more effective than CAU on drug use and retention outcomes overall. African Americans in MET reported using more drugs than those in CAU. However, other findings suggest that specific subgroups of African American substance users (i.e., alcohol users and females) might benefit from MET. Implications for future substance abuse treatment research with African Americans are provided. 2010-04-12 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1268427023 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1268427023 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
