Although the number of JDTCs in operation has increased since the first JDTCs were implemented in the 1990s, research continues to lag regarding the effectiveness of the treatment interventions that are provided. The current study measured responsivity adherence by using the number of general responsivity-adherent techniques included in each intervention. The results indicate that an increase in general responsivity adherence was associated with an increase in substance-use severity score. This suggests that the effect of the JDTC model on treatment outcomes could vary by the type of interventions provided to participants. In addition, the findings suggest the need to further specify adherence to the general responsivity principle, particularly among substance-involved juvenile offenders. (Publisher abstract modified)
