尽管近年来被监禁的有吸毒史的母亲人数大幅增加，但关于她们独特特征和脆弱性的信息却很少。为了解决这个问题，本研究调查了来自巴尔的摩市的167名吸毒母亲的数据，这些母亲自愿参加了马里兰州教养所提供的育儿计划。在参加这一方案之前，同意参加的母亲完成了一系列评估措施，其中包括一次广泛的访谈，涵盖她们的早期发展和目前的经验，沿着标准化的工具，测量心理适应和养育子女的满意度。对这些数据的分析侧重于从母亲的早期发育经历中得出的风险/保护因素信息与其目前的调整状况之间的联系。结果显示，较高的风险水平和不利的电流调整之间的显着关系。针对母亲和他们的孩子的预防和临床干预工作的研究结果的影响进行了讨论。
Although the number of mothers with histories of drug addiction who are incarcerated has grown substantially in recent years, there is little information on their unique characteristics and vulnerability. Undertaken to address this issue, this study examined data on 167 incarcerated drug-abusing mothers from Baltimore City who had volunteered for a parenting program offered at a Maryland correctional facility. Prior to entering this program, mothers who consented to participate completed a battery of assessment measures, which included an extensive interview covering their early developmental and current experiences, along with standardized instruments measuring psychological adjustment and parenting satisfaction. Analyses of these data focused on the link between risk/protective factor information drawn from the early development experiences of the mothers and their current adjustment status. Results revealed significant relationships between higher risk levels and less favorable current adjustment. Implications of the findings of the study for both prevention and clinical intervention efforts targeting both mothers and their children are discussed.
