Description
This review examined the evidence for the effectiveness of online brief interventions (BIs) to reduce youth methamphetamine use.
It found promising but inconclusive evidence that online BIs may be a useful tool in preventing initiation of illicit drug use among youth, including amphetamine-type drug use.
The evidence for BIs in treating youth methamphetamine use is less promising. Further implementation and evaluation of online BIs is recommended.
