This Year's Theme
The theme of this year's conference was "Addressing Diversity."
The meeting provided a forum for a wide range of partners to come together to discuss the latest advances in adolescent drug treatment, with a particular emphasis on the unique perspectives of youth and their families. The conference promotes discussion among researchers, treatment providers, families, youth, community leaders, and policy makers about how clinical practices can be improved and how different constituencies can contribute to these efforts.
