Factors associated with retention and outcomes for Hispanic offenders mandated to treatment for substance use disorders have been overlooked in the literature resulting in an impediment to providing evidence-based, culturally relevant treatment services. This project examined the roles of motivational factors, the therapeutic relationship, and acculturation in predicting treatment retention and recidivism among Hispanic male probationers mandated to residential treatment. By following a treatment cohort over one hundred and twenty days, this research identifies factors that may be targeted to improve interventions and policies. The following conclusions are supported: among Hispanic offenders, the number of days in treatment is positively related to motivation to change and level of acculturation.
文献中忽视了与被强制接受物质使用障碍治疗的西班牙裔罪犯的留治率及治疗效果相关的因素，这阻碍了提供基于证据且具有文化相关性的治疗服务。本项目研究了动机因素、治疗关系和文化适应在预测被强制接受住院治疗的西班牙裔男性缓刑犯的治疗留治率和再犯罪方面所起的作用。通过对一个治疗队列进行为期一百二十天的跟踪，本研究确定了可能有助于改进干预措施和政策的因素。支持以下结论：在西班牙裔罪犯中，治疗天数与改变动机和文化适应程度呈正相关。
