Summary
Brief summary
This RCT compares the efficacy of a 2 session enhanced BMI (Quik Fix) compared to assessment/information (AI/F) only control, among young people with cannabis/alcohol use and high levels of psychological distress. It was hypothesized that Quik Fix would result in significantly larger reductions on the primary outcome variables of psychological distress and alcohol/cannabis use. It was also hypothesized that Quik Fix would result in significantly larger improvements on the secondary outcome variables of motivation to change alcohol/drug use, the severity of mental health symptoms and alcohol/cannabis use and functioning.
