本研究的目的是使用一个生态学的框架来研究可卡因使用母亲的孩子的行为问题的潜在预测因素。在这项研究中，四个潜在的预测儿童行为问题：母亲的物质使用，母亲的心理社会功能，母亲和儿童的暴力经历，和不稳定或不充分的照顾。母亲和儿童遭受暴力被认为是远端生态变量，而药物使用和吸毒被认为是更近端的变量。在控制了更接近的变量后，该研究调查了暴力经历是否对儿童行为问题的发生有显着影响。参与者是61名非洲裔美国人或西班牙裔母亲（26名可卡因使用者和35名对照者），他们生活在贫困线以下，子女年龄在2至5岁之间。结果进行了讨论，在与儿童的可卡因使用的母亲谁是在行为问题的高风险的干预措施的影响。
The purpose of this study was to use an ecological framework to examine the potential predictors of behavior problems among children of cocaine-using mothers. Four potential predictors of child behavior problems were examined in this study: maternal substance use, maternal psychosocial functioning, maternal and child experiences with violence, and instability or inadequacy of caregiving. Maternal and child exposure to violence were considered distal ecological variables, whereas substance use and caregiving were considered to be more proximal variables. The study investigated whether the violent experiences contributed significantly to child behavior problems evert after controlling for the more proximal variables. The participants were 61 African American or Hispanic mothers (26 cocaine using and 35 control) living below the poverty limit with children between the ages of 2 to 5 years. The results are discussed in terms of implications of interventions with children of cocaine-using mothers who are at high risk for behavior problems.
