Abstract
ABSTRACT The Seven Challenges® (7C) is a program for adults and adolescents with substance use disorders and co-occurring problems. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the methodological characteristics and substantive findings of studies evaluating the effectiveness of 7C. We identified seven studies via searches of seven electronic databases. Our results suggest that 7C is associated with reduced substance use, decreased mental health-related problems, and reduced criminal behavior. However, further research is needed to determine whether 7C is superior to alternative interventions for substance misuse and to explore the efficacy of the 7C program among adult populations.
