This study examined services for women with a history of intimate partner violence in substance abuse treatment.
Abstract
This study examines the impact of comprehensive services on posttreatment substance use among women with a history of intimate partner violence. The sample includes 1,123 women from 50 treatment facilities derived from the National Treatment Improvement Evaluation Study (NTIES). Generalized linear mixed modeling was used to determine whether a history of intimate partner violence moderates the association between service receipt and posttreatment substance use. Significant interactions were found between history of intimate partner violence and concrete (p = .016) and family services (p = .023) in predicting substance use. (Published Abstract)
