Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This study examined substance abuse treatment providers' perceptions of the gender-specific service needs of women in treatment as well as the obstacles that impede the delivery of services to meet those needs. Surveys were administered to more than 100 staff members of five treatment agencies that were participating in the Chicago Practice Improvement Collaborative. These surveys were followed up with focus group discussions. Most participants reported that their treatment agencies delivered gender-specific services but also described the numerous barriers to addressing women's specific needs, such as limited resources and the psychosocial challenges experienced by women in treatment (e.g., depression, child care, and family responsibilities). We discuss these findings in light of previous studies, the strengths and limitations of our research design, and the value of collaborations between researchers and practitioners.
