This study attempts to extend what is known about adolescent substance abusers in adolescent - oriented substance abuse treatment by describing and comparing background and pretreatment characteritics and post - treatment outcomes of african american (n = 213), hispanic (n = 108) and white adolescent (n = 773) substance abusers who participated in the drug abuse treatment outcome studies for adolescents (DATOS - A). The pretreatment data indicated that patients in each group were similar only with respect to basic demongraphics. Post-treatment comparisons revealed racial / ethnic differences in serious illegal activity only. Logistic regression results indicated that african american adolsecents had a lower likelihood of engaging in serious illegal activity as compared to white adolescents during the posttreatment period. The results of this study provide a mechanismfor mroe comprehensive understanding of adolescent substance anusers, their treatment needs, and their treatment outcomes.
