Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Family therapy has been a primary intervention for youth with substance abuse problems, demonstrating improved family functioning and improved parenting behaviors and decreases in target symptoms of alcohol and drug use. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is not primarily used in the treatment of substance abuse disorder. The patient may benefit from group or individual therapy; however, the priority is family therapy.

Answer: 3
Explanation: Parent management training has been found to decrease internalizing symptoms in youth with ADHD. While the patient may benefit from group, individual and cognitive-behavioral therapy, these are not the most appropriate therapies.
