Evaluation of Model Projects for Pregnant and Postpartum Women and Their Infants.Executive Summary

摘要

In 1989, the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) implemented a nationaldemonstration program to provide prevention, education, and intervention services to substance-abusing pregnant and postpartum women and infants (PPWIs). CSAP contracted this study in 1993 to: (1) assess the effectiveness of the Pregnant and Postpartum Women and Infants (PPWI) programs in enhancing services coordination and increasing the availability and accessibility of substance abuse prevention services delivered to clients; and (2) document the extent to which program models are effective in decreasing the use of alcohol and drugs among substance-abusing women and enhancing the health development of their children.
