This randomized pilot study tested the efficacy of an integrative treatment targeting homeless substance abusing mothers with young children in their care. Sixty mothers with 2-6 year old children were recruited from a local family shelter. The mothers were randomly assigned to Ecologically-Based Treatment (n=30) or treatment as usual (n=30). The intervention group received 3 months of rental and utility assistance up to $600 per month, case management services, and substance abuse counseling (referred to as supportive services). The treatment as usual group received housing and services through the family shelter and community housing programs. All participants completed follow-up assessments at 3, 6, and 9 months post-baseline. Mothers receiving Ecologically-Based Treatment showed a quicker decline in alcohol frequency and a quicker increase in housing stability. Furthermore, with supportive services, two-thirds of women were successful in maintaining their apartments 6 months after rental assistance ended.
这项随机试点研究测试了针对有年幼子女的无家可归滥用药物的母亲的综合治疗的疗效。从当地的家庭收容所招募了 60 名 2-6 岁儿童的母亲。母亲们被随机分配到基于生态的治疗组（n=30）或常规治疗组（n=30）。干预组获得了 3 个月的租金和水电费补贴，每月最高可达 600 美元，还接受了个案管理服务和药物滥用咨询（称为支持性服务）。常规治疗组通过家庭收容所和社区住房计划获得住房和服务。所有参与者都在基线后 3、6 和 9 个月进行了随访评估。接受基于生态的治疗的母亲显示出酒精使用频率下降更快，住房稳定性提高更快。此外，通过支持性服务，三分之二的女性在租金援助结束后 6 个月成功维持了她们的公寓。
