Trauma and Intravenous Drug Use among Pregnant Alcohol/Other Drug Abusing Women: Factors in Predicting Child Abuse Potential Lead investigator information unavailable.

This ancillary study is related to CTN-0013, "Motivational Enhancement Therapy to Improve Treatment Utilization and Outcome in Pregnant Substance Users."

It has six circumscribed goals with pregnant substance abusing women: (a) to document the prevalence of exposure to traumatic life events; (b) to examine the prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptomatology; (c) to determine if trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms are related to treatment utilization and outcome; (d) to examine child abuse potential; (e) to determine if child abuse potential is related to trauma exposure and traumatic stress symptomatology; and (f) to determine if child abuse potential is related to treatment utilization and outcome.

The study hypotheses are: (1) increase trauma exposure will be associated with less favorable treatment utilization and outcome; (2) increased traumatic stress symptomatology will be associated with less favorable treatment utilization and outcome; (3) increased child abuse potential will be associated with increased trauma exposure and increased traumatic stress symptomatology; and (4) less favorable treatment utilization and outcome will be associated with increased child abuse potential.
