Study Summary
Parental substance abuse is a leading determinant of child maltreatment and, consequently, is often linked with negative clinical outcomes for children, exorbitant financial costs for the child welfare system, and serious social costs for the investigators nation. Yet, in spite of the seriousness of child maltreatment in the context of parental substance abuse and that there are well-established effective treatments for adult substance abuse, substance-abusing parents in the child welfare system are less likely to be offered services and receive services. Well-integrated treatments for the dual problem of substance abuse and child maltreatment are virtually nonexistent in the research literature. This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing Comprehensive Community Treatment to Multisystemic Therapy-Building Stronger Families (MST-BSF), an integrated model of two evidence-based treatments for parental substance abuse and child maltreatment that has shown promise in a 4-year pilot. Statement of Study Hypothesis: Compared to Comprehensive Community Treatment, parents receiving MST-BSF will show greater reductions in parental substance abuse and psychological distress, greater increases in employment, drug-free activities, social support, and positive parenting, and fewer incidents of reabuse of a child. Children whose families receive MST-BSF will experience fewer child out-of-home placements and greater reductions in internalizing symptoms such as anxiety.
