Community Demonstration Grant Projects for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment of Homeless Individuals. Volume 1. Outcome Evaluation Report

摘要

The treatment interventions funded in this community demonstration grant program represented a mix of treatment approaches targeted in a variety of subpopulations of homeless persons with alcohol or other problems: older single men, women with children, native Americans and persons with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health problems. The report is one of the series of reports generated by the national evaluation of the Community Demonstration Program. This volume includes information on (1) program completion rates and reasons for noncompletion and client characteristics associated with program completion; (2) estimates of intervention effectiveness on alcohol and other drug use, employment and economic security; (3) client characteristics associated with intervention effectiveness and (4) limitations and lessons learned for future multisite research demonstrations on the target population that emphasize program outcome evaluation.
