Mindfulness Mobile App to Reduce Adolescent Substance Use
The current proposal is aimed at developing a substance use cessation app (Rewire) for high
risk adolescents who are involved in the juvenile justice system. The Rewire app will be
based on the primary substance use cessation components tested in our previous work with
juvenile justice-involved adolescents and on intervention components shown to be central to
smoking cessation.
risk adolescents who are involved in the juvenile justice system. The Rewire app will be

The Rewire Study will recruit 60 youth (30 boys and 30 girls) who have had contact with the
Department of Youth Services in the last year. Consent will be obtained from parents or
guardians for the youths' participation. The participating teens will come to Oregon Research
Institute for a baseline assessment. During this visit, the teens will complete an assent
form and spend spent 20-30 minutes completing an online survey with an assessor; topics
covered in the survey include emotion regulation and drug and alcohol use. Teens will have
the app loaded onto their phones and be provided with instructions for its use during this
visit. Participants are asked to use the app over the next 2 weeks, completing 4 modules and
spending 5-10 minutes each day answering questions about recent emotions and substance use.
Teens will be contacted via email for follow up assessments at 2 weeks and 2 months
post-baseline. These emails will contain links to the follow-up survey which also asks about
emotion regulation and drug and alcohol use; surveys should take 20-30 minutes to complete.
