Abstract
These practice parameters describe the assessment and treatment of chi ldren and adolescents with substance use disorders and are based on sc ientific evidence regarding diagnosis and effective treatment as well as on the current state of clinical practice. Given the paucity of res earch on the treatment of substance use disorders in children and adol escents, many of the recommendations are drawn from the adult literatu re and current clinical practice. These parameters consider risk facto rs for substance use and related problems, normative use of substances by adolescents, the comerbidity of substance use disorders with other psychiatric disorders, and treatment settings and modalities.
