TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Young women's perspectives of their adolescent treatment programs: a qualitative study JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Clark, Miriam A1 - Buchanan, Rohanna A1 - Leve, Leslie D. SP - e15020373 EP - e15020373 VL - 15 IS - 2 N2 - The perspectives of at-risk adolescent clients can play an important role in informing treatment services. The current study examines qualitative interview data from 15 young women with histories of maltreatment. Using a semi-structured qualitative interview approach, we asked the women to think retrospectively about their treatment experiences as adolescent girls.

RESULTS highlight the need for providing adolescent girls with reliable and practical information about risky sexual behavior and drug use from relatable and trustworthy helping professionals. We discuss strategies for developing and maintaining trust and delivering specific content.
