Hispanic Views on Recovery High Schools: Will Students Attend If They Are Created?

Recovery High Schools (RHSs) have been part of addiction care for adolescents since 1979.

• Outcome studies for RHSs are limited, particularly regarding Hispanic engagement.
• RHS students are primarily middle-class non-Hispanic White individuals with prior formal treatment.
• Hispanic youth often reside in low-income ethnic enclaves, increasing their risk for addiction.
• The tailored approach of RHSs may be culturally relevant for Hispanic adolescents.
