Developed from adapting and combining two evidence-based programs, Project CONNECT (a linkage-to-services program that targets barriers within the probation and substance abuse treatment systems) and TIES (a program that teaches family engagement skills to providers), Family CONNECT is a linkage-to-services program that targets both family and system-level factors to increase youth use of and retention in substance use services. Using Linkage Specialists embedded within probation departments, Family CONNECT will be implemented in two NYS probation departments. This proposed study will evaluate the impact of Family CONNECT on (1) youth referral from probation to substance abuse treatment, (2) youth and family engagement in substance abuse treatment, (3) youth enrollment/retention in substance abuse treatment, and (4) youth substance use and recidivism. Counts of youth referred, youth who start treatment, and youth retained in treatment will be obtained from the juvenile justice agency for 6-months pre-implementation of Family Connect (i.e. baseline) and during the implementation period of e-Connect; counts of youth recidivism will be obtained 6 months following the completion of Family Connect. This study will also identify family and probation organizational factors influencing Family CONNECT implementation in probation settings. 50 caregiver-youth dyads and up to 36 probation officers will be recruited as participants in the study. Caregiver-youth dyads will be evaluated at baseline, 2 and 6 months; probation officers at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months; linkage specialists at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months.

Following recruitment, if the youth-caregiver dyad were working with a probation officer (PO) that was in the treatment arm, they were linked with the Linkage Specialist and began the intervention. If they were working with a PO who was in the control arm, they were linked to services in the usual way.
Study completion occurred when dyads completed their 6 month survey, and were linked to treatment (experimental arm only)
Participants were recruited by study staff, following probation officer referral, between December 2015-May 2017 in two county probation agencies. Probation officers were randomized into either the treatment of SOC arm so that probation officers worked exclusively with either youth in the treatment or SOC arm to avoid cross-contamination across study arms.

This study is a randomized control trial. Caregiver-youth dyads are randomized to either the control (standard of care) or experimental (Family CONNECT) group based on the youth's probation officer (randomization occurs at the level of the youth's probation officer). If randomized to the control (standard of care) group, caregiver-youth dyads will work with their probation officer as usual to link to substance use services. If randomized to the experimental (Family CONNECT) group, caregiver-youth dyads will work with a linkage specialist to link to substance use services. Youth in both groups will be compared to a baseline stand of care collected during the pre-implementation period.
