  • Title: How parental drug use and drug treatment compliance relate to family reunification.
    Author: Smith BD.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 2003; 82(3):335-65. PubMed ID: 12769395.
    Abstract:
    This study uses Cox regression to assess the relationships among parental drug use, drug treatment compliance, and reunification from substitute care. The study finds that drug treatment compliance is associated with faster reunification, even when accounting for ongoing drug use and three parenting measures. The findings are consistent with a conceptual framework suggesting that certain client actions, such as drug treatment compliance, may serve as markers that substantially affect client outcomes.
