Factors related to successful completion of a first offender diversion program were examined from initial data of a longitudinal study of drug treatment court outcomes in Delaware. The strongest predictors of success were factors associated with social stakeholder values, especially those involving employment. Other factors associated with program completion included race, education, and frequency of drug use. While the overall success of drug treatment courts continues to be documented, these data suggest success varies with individual characteristics. The continuing study will explore whether these characteristics are also related to subsequent outcomes, especially drug use relapse and criminal recidivism, over a 24-month post-treatment period.
从特拉华州药物治疗法庭结果的纵向研究的初始数据中，对与首次犯罪者分流计划成功完成相关的因素进行了研究。成功的最强预测因素是与社会利益相关者价值观相关的因素，尤其是那些涉及就业的因素。与计划完成相关的其他因素包括种族、教育程度和吸毒频率。虽然药物治疗法庭的总体成功仍有记录，但这些数据表明，成功因个体特征而异。后续研究将探讨这些特征是否也与治疗后24个月内的后续结果相关，尤其是药物使用复发和再次犯罪。
