      ab: A study was conducted to compare family treatments for shelter-residing runaway youth with primary alcohol problems. Data were obtained from 119 primary alcohol problem adolescents and their primary caretakers from two runaway shelters. Participants were assigned to home-based ecologically based family therapy (EBFT), office-based functional family therapy (FFT), or service as usual (SAU) through the shelter. Findings revealed that both home-based EBFT and office-based FFT notably reduced alcohol and drug use compared with SAU at 15-month post-baseline. Findings indicated that measures of family and adolescent functioning improved over time in all groups, but significant differences among the home and office-based interventions were found for treatment engagement and moderators of outcome. Findings are discussed in detail.
