This study sought to identify individual- and house-level predictors of women's employment, education, and retention in self-run recovery homes. Data from a national study of 292 women in Oxford House, an international organization of recovery homes grounded on self-help/mutual aid and 12-step principles were analyzed. Results indicated that the house's Reciprocal Responsibility predicted number of days of paid work. Individual and house variables did not predict participation in education. The presence of recovery home members in personal social networks was statistically significant in predicting retention in the recovery home. Lastly, results indicated that number of days of paid work were not predictive of likelihood of substance use in the next 12 months. The findings of this study indicate that the ability to develop social networks and Reciprocal Responsibility in recovery homes can contribute to positive outcomes for women.
本研究旨在确定女性在自助康复之家的就业、教育及留驻情况的个人层面和机构层面的预测因素。对一项针对牛津之家292名女性的全国性研究数据进行了分析，牛津之家是一个基于自助/互助及12步原则的国际康复之家组织。结果表明，机构的相互责任可预测带薪工作天数。个人和机构变量无法预测教育参与情况。个人社交网络中康复之家成员的存在对预测在康复之家的留驻情况具有统计学意义。最后，结果表明，带薪工作天数无法预测未来12个月内使用药物的可能性。本研究结果表明，在康复之家中发展社交网络的能力及相互责任可促成女性的积极成果。
