Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Despite potentially devastating consequences to both mother and child, many pregnant substance abusers refuse treatment. To understand why, the present study compared women who enrolled in (N=102) vs. declined (N=23) day treatment. Participants were primarily African American, unemployed, high school graduates with a mean age of 27 years. Although demographic characteristics did not differ between groups, treatment enrollees had greater drug severity and were more likely to identify crack cocaine as their drug of choice. They also manifested more family and psychiatric problems, emotional distress, and Axis II psychopathology. In addition, treatment enrollees had greater legal severity and higher rates of criminal justice system involvement (46% vs. 13%). The women who declined perinatal addiction services may have perceived less need for intensive treatment due to lower problem severity and less distress. Development of alternative treatment approaches, such as limited perinatal addiction services provided in conjunction with prenatal care, is warranted. (Author' s abstract) |
