Drug courts are popular for dealing with drug-abusing offenders. However, relatively little is known about participant characteristics that reliably predict either success or failure in these treatment settings. In this article, we report on 99 individuals who were enrolled in a drug court program (approximately one-half of whom successfully completed the program). Using, logistic regression techniques we identified 2 significant predictors of outcome. First, individuals who were employed at the time of their enrollment into the drug court program were more likely to successfully complete the treatment program. Second, individuals with a history of illicit intravenous drug use were less likely to complete the program.
毒品法庭在处理吸毒罪犯方面很受欢迎。然而，对于能够可靠预测这些治疗环境中成功或失败的参与者特征，人们了解得相对较少。在本文中，我们报告了99名参加毒品法庭项目的个体（其中约一半成功完成了该项目）。使用逻辑回归技术，我们确定了两个结果的显著预测因素。首先，在进入毒品法庭项目时就业的个体更有可能成功完成治疗项目。其次，有非法静脉注射吸毒史的个体完成该项目的可能性较小。
