ENGLISH :
Setting, participants, intervention and measurement: New Choices is a centralized one-stop shop in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, that provides multiple services in a supportive environment for substance-using women and their young children. Measures of substance use, social support, mental health, nutrition, parenting and child development were administered to 13 women (2136 years old) and their 13 children (05 years old) when they entered the programme, and at 3 and 6 months thereafter. Findings: Results revealed a significant improvement in maternal empathy at 3 months and children's social competence at 6 months, and a decrease in maternal support of children's power and independence that was significant at 3 months but not at 6 months. Improvements in other outcomes were not statistically significant, but effect sizes were promising. Results showed more improvements after 6 than 3 months, suggesting that length of programme involvement may be an important factor in outcome. Conclusions: The findings from this small pilot study suggest that a one-stop intervention for substance-using mothers and their children might have a positive impact on many outcomes. This evaluation involved a small cohort sample, no comparison group and parent-report measures only, so it should be viewed as exploratory and interpretation of findings made cautiously. |
