“…23 Providers of care must include specialized outreach, case management, and recovery programs in shelters to meet the special needs of homeless women substance abusers and their children. 23 More research is urgently needed to better understand the impact of placing children with family, friends, or other foster care arrangements on mothers' treatment completion rates. The impact of threats to remove an infant or child or threats to not return a child placed in foster care are not well documented, particularly the long-term implications for the children and the mother-child relationship.…”

This study examines the role of family status and demographic characteristics in explaining the nearly 60% dropout rate for women in substance abuse treatment. Data from the administrative record files of the Illinois Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (OASA) for the fiscal year 1996-97 were analyzed for women age 12 or older who completed intake for publicly funded substance abuse treatment and whose outpatient treatment records were closed at year-end. Multivariate logistic regression models found that the likelihood of not completing treatment was greatest for women who were African American, pregnant, had custody of minor children, or were younger than age 21. However, African American women who had children in foster care were more likely to complete treatment. Implications for treatment and research are discussed.

“…A current example is the Youth Transition Demonstration of the Social Services Administration (Martinez et al, 2009). A few of the many past programs include the Community Demonstration Projects for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment of Homeless Individuals (Murray, 1993), the Child Abuse and Neglect Treatment Demonstration (Berkeley Planning Associates, 1978), the Supportive Housing Demonstration Program (Matulef, Crosse, & Dietz, 1995), and the Head Start Family Service Center Demonstration (Swartz, Bernstein, & Levin, 2000).…”

In implementing its Behavior Research Initiative, the U.S. Department of Education funded four Behavior Research Centers, each to test the efficacy of a separate intervention to improve the behavior of elementary school students with or at risk for serious behavior problems. The initiative also established the National Behavior Research Coordination Center to conduct a cross-site evaluation of the four behavior interventions. The authors describe how the Department of Education’s structuring of the initiative helped avoid many of the shortcomings of earlier federal cross-site demonstration programs and highlight the contributions a research coordination center can make to the quality of research conducted and to the knowledge produced across individual demonstrations.
