Gender-Responsive Treatment for Women Offenders
The purpose of this study is to determine whether substance abuse treatment designed
specifically for drug-dependent women offenders provides better outcomes than standard drug
court treatment (mixed-gender programs).
specifically for drug-dependent women offenders provides better outcomes than standard drug
court treatment (mixed-gender programs).
In this five-year study, a total of 300 women entering court-referred treatment throughout
Los Angeles County and who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to a
women-focused or to a mixed-gender outpatient treatment program. The study will assess the
impact of women-focused substance abuse treatment using outcome measures including
recidivism, substance abuse and relapse, and social adjustment (e.g., employment, parenting
behaviors, psychological improvement, and HIV risk reduction behaviors), compared to the
impact of traditional mixed-gender programs. Assessments will occur at baseline and at 1
month, 12 months, and 24 months after admission.
