Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Données recueillies de 1990 à 1992 dans trois programmes méthadone auprès de 103 femmes et 147 hommes. La moitié de chacun de ces deux groupes a été admise dans un programme de traitement standard, et l'autre moitié dans un programme standard plus un protocole expérimental ciblé sur la formation professionnelle. L'analyse des résultats montre des différences entre les hommes et les femmes concernant leurs trajets professionnels, et leurs attentes en matière de formation. Les hommes, dans l'ensemble, en ont tiré plus de bénéfices que les femmes.
ENGLISH :
Data from a pilot randomized field experiment conducted from 1990 to 1992 in three methadone treatment programs were analyzed to examine potential gender differences in vocational needs and outcomes. The study data were collected from 103 female and 147 male clients. Half of each of these two groups of clients were randomly assigned to standard treatment and half to standard treatment plus an experimental Training and Employment Program (TEP). Analysis of the data indicates that (a) males and females differed significantly in terms of initial employment histories, employment status, and vocational readiness; (b) males received an equal amount or more TEP services than females from an on-site vocational specialist; and (c) within the TEP condition at three months, males received more referrals and placement services than did females.
