AB  - BACKGROUND: Recent changes in marijuana policies and their potential negative 
      effects on youth development are a public health concern. Identifying the most 
      appropriate treatment approaches for problematic marijuana use is important. 
      OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to track marijuana use among young people 
      by examining national changes from 1995 to 2012 in the demographics, referral 
      sources, and the substance use patterns related to youth admissions to substance 
      abuse treatment programs. METHODS: We examined first-time substance abuse 
      treatment admissions among youth, utilizing the Treatment Episode Data Set - 
      Admissions (TEDS-A) of the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration 
      (N = 12,025,787). Chi-squared analysis was used to examine differences between 
      admission years and binomial logistic regression was used to examine trends over 
      the 18 years. RESULTS: We found increasing numbers of youth in dependent living 
      situations (e.g. with parents) admitted to substance use disorder treatment for 
      marijuana. We also found a dramatic drop in the degree of drug involvement for 
      those admissions over nearly two decades of data. Conclusions/Importance: While 
      availability and changing perceptions of marijuana might have caused an increase 
      in admissions to substance abuse treatment, our findings indicate that the 
      severity of drug use involved in those admissions has decreased. This study 
      highlights the importance of identifying youth in actual need of treatment 
      services and not overlooking tools such as screening, brief intervention, and 
      motivational interviewing as effective for varying levels of marijuana use by 
      youth.
