Changes in DSM criteria following a culturally-adapted computerized CBT for Spanish-speaking individuals with substance use disorders

This study sought to replicate and extend findings regarding change in the number of endorsed Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) criteria for substance use disorders as a meaningful outcome for clinical trials with Spanish-speakers. A secondary analysis was conducted of data from 83 treatment-seeking individuals with current DSM-IV substance dependence participating in a randomized controlled trial evaluating a culturally-adapted version of a computer-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (CBT4CBT) for Spanish-speakers.
