The aim of this study is to assess the differential effectiveness of treatment of drug-abusing women who have children and have been randomly assigned to one of two conditions: regular therapeutic community treatment without their children or regular therapeutic community treatment with their children living with them in a Mother-Child Unit (MCU). In this study, which is aimed particularly at low income, minority women, a primary measure of differential effectiveness will be post-treatment drug-free status of the MCU and comparison groups. Other measures such as length of stay in treatment, post-treatment employment, criminality, and prosocial functioning will give measures of the effectiveness of the MCU. The study will take place at Amity, Inc. in Tucson, Arizona, a traditional therapeutic community that has piloted this MCU model and has data suggestive of the hypothesis that adding the MCU improves treatment and post-treatment functioning. The research protocol and statistical analysis will be administered by the University of Arizona, Department of Psychology. While evidence mounts concerning both the negative effects of maternal drug use upon mothers and their offspring and the reluctance of women with children to enter treatment or to remain in treatment when separated from their children, few programs of any modality have made alterations to remove this significant baffler to treatment if the hypothesis of this study is supported, further studies regarding enhancements of the MCU would be suggested, as well as measures to determine the differential effectiveness of the MCU on the children of addicted women. Support of the hypothesis would suggest widespread replication of the MCU in therapeutic communities throughout the country.

这项研究的目的是评估不同的有效性 治疗吸毒妇女谁有孩子，并已被随机 被分配到两种情况之一：定期治疗社区治疗 没有他们的孩子或定期的社区治疗 他们的孩子与他们一起住在母婴单元(MCU)。在这 这项研究特别针对低收入、少数族裔妇女， 区别疗效的主要衡量标准将是治疗后 MCU组和对照组的戒毒情况。其他措施，如 接受治疗的时间、治疗后的就业情况、犯罪行为以及 亲社会功能将给出MCU有效性的衡量标准。 这项研究将在亚利桑那州图森市的Amity，Inc.进行，这是一家传统的 已经试行了这种MCU模式并拥有数据的治疗社区 暗示了添加MCU可以改善治疗和 治疗后功能正常。研究方案和统计分析 将由亚利桑那大学系管理 心理学。虽然越来越多的证据表明， 母体用药对母子的影响和不情愿 有子女的妇女在以下情况下接受治疗或继续接受治疗 与孩子分开后，几乎没有任何形式的节目 修改以消除这一显著的治疗障碍，如果 支持本研究的假设，进一步研究 将提出加强MCU的建议，以及采取措施 确定MCU对儿童的差异化疗效 上瘾的女人。对这一假设的支持将意味着广泛的 在全国各地的治疗社区复制MCU。
