I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for evidence-based resources or programs directed specifically at prevention and treatment of marijuana use among adolescents in a community based setting. What has been shown to work with this population?
Thank you!

Last month I did a talk for CSAT at CPDD on evidenced based treatments for cannabis for adolescents, young adults and adult. A copy of it is available via box at
https://chestnut.box.com/2014CPDD In the same folder is a bibliography of other recent marijuana related articles from the past 5 years that tend not be in the reviews or meta analyses out to date. The first time Box may ask you to register (to track permission), but there is no cost and the file is open access.
