Brief Summary:
The major aim of the project is to document and evaluate two treatments for female offenders with substance abuse problems TC and cognitive behavioral simultaneously studying the process of treatment and relating treatment process to treatment outcome
Detailed Description:
The number and proportion of substance abusing women in prison have been increasing creating a need for programs tailored to this population and for evaluation of such programs The specific aims of this project were 1 to conduct a rigorous evaluation of the effectiveness of prison TC treatment for substance abusing women offenders 2 to investigate the treatment process for the target population and to explore the relationship between the process and outcome of treatment 3 to evaluate the cost and cost effectiveness of treatment and 4 to assess issues in obtaining and making use of aftercare services and provide information regarding the additional contribution of aftercare treatment The core investigation over four years n600 randomly assigned female substance abusing offenders at the Denver Womens Correctional Facility to either a TC program Recovery By Choice the experimental E condition n300 or to a non-TC standard program the comparison C condition n300 The study predicted better outcomes for the TC group in an intent-to-treat analysis of all study entrants The Aim 4 supplementary study of aftercare with no random assignment followed program completers from E and C as they entered mandatory aftercare choosing either TC aftercare or a non-TC treatment alternative The research employed a prospective longitudinal repeated measures assessment with five points baseline 6- 12- and 18-months post-baseline to assess standard outcome measures eg drug use crime and employment as well as specific measures of particular concern to female offenders eg trauma and abuse In addition to self-report data urine toxicology and criminal record data were obtained The study collected process data guided by the Texas Christian University Treatment Process Model The project contributes to a theoretical advance in our understanding of the process of treatment for women offenders in prison TCs It advances research through a rigorous study of TC prison program effectiveness for women compared to another routine treatment It guides practice by delineating treatment elements for women and by examining the effectiveness of a TC program that organizes these elements Finally it integrates outcome and economic analysis to inform policy and planning about the effectiveness of the TC treatment under study Perhaps most significantly it tests TC principles and methods found effective for substance-abusing male offenders which have been adapted for women thereby increasing the potential utility of these strategies
