Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This study examines the correlates of treatment follow-up difficulty utilizing data from the District of Columbia Treatment Initiative (DCI). Findings indicate that (1) treatment completion is positively associated with a successful follow-up; (2) age and number of prior arrests are related to follow-up difficulty; (3) persons easiest to reach were more likely to be employed at follow-up; (4) persons difficult to locate were more likely to be using cocaine and to be arrested post-discharge; and (5) cocaine use at follow-up might be underestimated and employment at follow-up might be overestimated in findings derived from less than 80% of the target sample.
