Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling
the counseling programs implemented in schools and agencies are effective for
the clients and students who will be receiving these services. Consider the
following question that a counselor working in a school or agency may want to
explore:
What is the effect of counseling for adolescents who report
serious issues with substance abuse?
1. If you were granted permission to do this study at your
school or agency, what steps would you take to locate participants? What legal
or ethical issues would you consider as you selected participants?
2. How would you address issues of informed consent and
confidentiality for participants in the study?
