N2  - BACKGROUND: Adolescents and young adults with a mild intellectual disability or  borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF) are at risk for problematic substance  use and are more likely to have emotional and behavioral problems than peers without  MID-BIF. A personality-targeted prevention program called Take it Personal!  effectively reduces substance use in adolescents and young adults with MID-BIF. AIMS: The program's effectiveness was examined on its secondary goal: reducing  emotional and behavioral problems. The potentially moderating role of these problems  on the program's effectiveness with substance use was also explored. <br><br>METHODS AND  PROCEDURES: Substance use and emotional and behavioral problems were compared  between participants in Take it Personal! (n = 34) and those in the control  condition (n = 32) in a quasi-experimental pre-posttest study with a three-month  follow-up. Effectiveness and moderation were assessed with multilevel models. OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: Take it Personal! seems to reduce rule breaking. There were no  significant effects on anxiety, withdrawal, and aggression. None of the problem  domains moderated the program's effectiveness on substance use frequency. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Take it Personal! may effectively reduce rule  breaking. Moreover, adolescent and young adults with different levels of emotional  and behavioral problems benefit equally in terms of reduced substance use.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
