Self-efficacy as a predictor of treatment outcome in adolescent substance use disorders

Article Abstract:

Prevention of adolescent substance abuse relapse is studied to assess the patients' situational self-efficacy (SE), which is their motivation to abstain from substance use in high-risk situations. It is found that improved SE, which is assessed as a predictor of substance use and as an outcome of therapy, contributes to positive treatment outcome.
