abstract = {Problem statement: Delinquent adolescents with substance abuse 
disorders frequently engage in behaviors that elevate their risk of contracting 
HIV. Although effective risk reduction interventions are urgently needed, there 
is uncertainty about the nature of interventions required to produce change. Approach: This study evaluated whether Modified version of Becoming A Responsible Teen (M-BART) produced greater reductions in drug use and sexual risk behaviors than an Anger Management (AM) condition among a mixed gender, culturally diverse sample of adolescents in court-ordered substance dependence treatment. 
Results: No significant differences were found between M-BART (n = 70) 
and AM (n = 59) groups in degree of change between intake and outcome in HIV sex 
risk or drug use behaviors. However, across groups, meaningful reductions were 
found in total number of sex partners and in proportions of total unprotected 
sex acts, unprotected vaginal sex, unprotected oral giving sex acts and unprotected 
oral receiving sex acts from baseline to follow-up (all p's},
