This study reports on maternal functioning, infant developmental, and permanency outcomes for 52 families following maternal participation in a family treatment drug court (FTDC) for perinatal substance users. Although the majority of families experienced positive child welfare outcomes, over time, maternal functioning deteriorated and infant developmental concerns were identified. Even when promising interventions like FTDC are used, long-term needs of families affected by perinatal substance use need to be considered and addressed.
本研究报告了52个家庭在母亲参与针对围产期药物使用妇女的家庭治疗药物法庭（FTDC）后的母亲功能、婴儿发育及永久性结果。尽管大多数家庭在儿童福利方面取得了积极成果，但随着时间推移，母亲功能恶化，婴儿发育问题也被发现。即使采用了像FTDC这样有前景的干预措施，受围产期药物使用影响的家庭的长期需求仍需得到考虑和解决。
