Recent studies comparing self-admitted cocaine use with hair and urine test results have raised concerns about underreporting due to variations across situations and settings. Because of the frequent need for self-report data in conducting treatment evaluations, more information is needed on factors that affect the credibility of this information. The present study examines records of cocaine use collected as part of an evaluation of prison-based treatment (N=396). Specifically, self-reported cocaine use from 6-month postrelease follow-up interviews, completed with treatment graduates and a comparison sample of parolees who were eligible but not sent to treatment, was examined in relation to urine and hair test results. Overall, cocaine use was underreported when compared to hair test results, but underreporting was lower for program graduates than for the untreated comparison group. Furthermore, program graduates originally admitted to prison on a drug-related arrest were the most likely to underreport cocaine use, seemingly due to a heightened concern about potential consequences, such as returning to prison on another drug-related charge. Given that the validity of self-report for high-risk individuals varies greatly and is difficult to predict across studies, future research with criminal justice samples should continue to assess the validity of these measures under specific research conditions and for diverse types of individuals.

Objective: To examine lifetime and current psychiatric comorbidity measures as predictors of drug abuse treatment retention, and to test the generalizability of results across treatment agencies in diverse settings and with varying practices.Data Sources/study Setting: The national Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Studies (DATOS), a longitudinal study of clients from 96 treatment agencies in 11 U.S. cities.Study Design: The design is naturalistic and uses longitudinal analysis of treatment retention in long-term residential, outpatient drug-free, and outpatient methadone treatment modalities; client background (including psychiatric comorbidity) and program service provision are predictors. Clinical thresholds for adequate treatment retention were 90 days for long-term residential and outpatient drug-free, and 360 days for outpatient methadone. Psychiatric indicators included lifetime DSM-III-R diagnoses of depression/anxiety and antisocial personality, and dimensional measures of current symptoms for depression and hostility.Data Collection/extraction Methods: Data include structured interviews with clients, a survey of treatment program administrators, and program discharge records.Principal Findings: Dimensional measures of current psychiatric symptoms emerged as better predictors than lifetime DSM-III-R diagnoses. In addition, the predictive association of hostility with retention varied significantly across treatment agencies, both in the long-term residential and outpatient drug-free modalities. Other notable findings were that on-site mental health services in long-term residential programs were associated with better retention for clients with symptoms of hostility.Conclusions: Assessment issues and stability of results across programs are important considerations for treatment research and practice.

This study examined the relationship between perceptions of parent-child relations in the family of origin and antisocial tendency in a sample of drug-addicted adults. Data included retrospective accounts of childhood family factors, adolescent antisocial tendency, and self-reported hostility and risk-taking prior to treatment entry. A developmental model was tested that included adolescent antisocial tendency as a mediator of the relationship between childhood parenting factors and adulthood antisocial tendency. The effects of parental support and conflict were found to operate primarily through adolescent measures. Specifically, lower levels of parental support and higher levels of conflict with parents predicted greater adolescent antisocial tendency, which in turn predicted more hostility and risk-taking in adulthood. Thus, parental support appears to serve as a buffer against deviant behavior and drug use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study examined client motivation as a predictor of retention and therapeutic engagement across the major types of treatment settings represented in the third national drug abuse treatment outcome study (DATOS) conducted in the United States. Sequential admissions during 1991-93 to 37 programs provided representative samples of community-based treatment populations. Based on this naturalistic non-experimental evaluation design, hierarchical linear model (HLM) analysis for nested data was used to control for systematic variations in retention rates and client attributes among programs within modalities. The data were collected from long-term residential (LTR), outpatient methadone (OMT) and outpatient drug-free (ODF) programs located in 11 large cities. A total of 2265 clients in 18 LTR, 981 clients in 13 OMT and 1791 clients in 16 ODF programs were studied. Pre-treatment variables included problem recognition and treatment readiness (two stages of motivation), socio-demographic indicators, drug use history and dependence, criminality, co-morbid psychiatric diagnosis and previous treatment. Retention and engagement (based on ratings of client and counselor relationships) served as outcome criteria. Pre-treatment motivation was related to retention in all three modalities, and the treatment readiness scale was the strongest predictor in LTR and OMT. Higher treatment readiness also was significantly related to early therapeutic engagement in each modality. Indicators of intrinsic motivation--especially readiness for treatment--were not only significant predictors of engagement and retention, but were more important than socio-demographic, drug use and other background variables. Improved assessments and planning of interventions that focus on stages of readiness for change and recovery should help improve treatment systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Self-efficacy has been shown to be related to outcomes from interventions for alcohol and tobacco abuse but relatively little attention has been focused on it in evaluations of treatment for illicit drug abuse. Almost no research has examined offenders involved with drugs. The current study, therefore, adapted the Alcohol Abstinence Self-efficacy Scale of DiClemente, Carbonari, Montgomery, and Hughes and administered it to 250 probationers mandated to 6 months of residential treatment. With some modifications, confirmatory factory models replicated four previously reported dimensions, e.g., Negative Affect, Social/Positive, Physical and Other Concerns, Cravings and Urges. Findings also indicated high construct validity for the Alcohol Abstinence Self-efficacy Scale as adapted here. Studies are needed to examine the use of self-efficacy as a prospective measure of treatment progress and to explore its association with outcomes from corrections-based treatment.

- Abstract
A model to explain treatment retention in terms of process components--therapeutic involvement and session attributes for the 1st month--and patient background factors were tested in long-term residential (LTR), outpatient drug free (ODF), and outpatient methadone (OMT) treatments. The data was collected in the national Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Studies (DATOS), and included 1362 patients in LTR, 866 in ODF, and 981 in OMT programs. Structural equation models showed there were positive reciprocal effects between therapeutic involvement and session attributes in all three modalities, and these variables had direct positive effects on treatment retention. Motivation at intake was a strong determinant of therapeutic involvement. Other patient background factors were significantly related to retention, including pretreatment depression, alcohol dependence, legal pressure, and frequency of cocaine use.

- Abstract
Patient ratings of their personal confidence in treatment and commitment to recovery were examined in a national sample of long-term residential, outpatient drug-free, and outpatient methadone programs. It was found that patients expressing greater confidence and commitment after 3 months of treatment generally began with higher motivation at intake, had formed better rapport with counselors, and attended counseling sessions more frequently. In addition, overall levels of patient involvement (as indicated by confidence and commitment) varied across programs; those programs with higher average involvement by patients used more social and public health services, maintained more consistent attendance at counseling sessions, and served patients who collectively had more similar kinds of needs. Thus, patient and program attributes both play a role in determining therapeutic engagement of persons who enter drug treatment.

- Abstract
In the national Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Studies (DATOS), many clients in outpatient methadone treatment (OMT) and outpatient drug-free (ODF) modalities were admitted with multiple sex and needle-risk behaviors, but they reduced these risks significantly during treatment. Using hierarchical linear model regression analysis, we examined client and treatment program characteristics as predictors of initial risk levels and of reductions over time. Clients who used cocaine frequently before treatment or had antisocial personality disorder entered treatment with elevated risks. In both modalities, cocaine users reduced risky behaviors significantly, but antisocial clients did so only in OMT. Treatment programs located in cities with higher prevalence rates of HIV/AIDS admitted clients with lower baseline levels of risk behavior than found in other cities. OMT programs in lower prevalence cities achieved higher rates of risk reduction than programs in higher prevalence cities. Reduction of sex and needle risks in both the OMT and ODF modalities indicates the importance of outpatient drug abuse treatment to national HIV prevention policy.

- Abstract
Treatment efforts appear to be effective in reducing crime among drug using individuals, but components of the treatment process associated with client improvement need to be identified. Furthermore, these elements of treatment may play an intermediate role in the connection between client background characteristics and later criminal activity. The current study examines a structural equation model including client perceptions of their drug related problems, peer deviance, and family dysfunction as influences upon the formation of therapeutic relationships during treatment and rearrests following treatment. Results showed therapeutic relationships were positively associated with recognition of drug related problems and negatively related to rearrest. Peer deviance also was positively related to rearrest.
