abstract="Studies assessing the efficacy of juvenile justice interventions show small effects on recidivism and other outcomes. This article describes the development of a prototype of a multimedia computer-tailored intervention (Rise Above Your Situation) that relies on an evidence-based model of behavior change, the transtheoretical model, and expert system technology to deliver assessments, feedback, printed reports, and counselor reports with intervention ideas. In a feasibility test involving 60 system-involved youths and their counselors, evaluations of the program were favorable: 91.7% of youths agreed that the program could help them make positive changes, and 86.7% agreed that the program could give their counselor helpful information about them. <br><br>KEYWORDS: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency<p />",
