This study proposes to evaluate the separate and combined impact of interventions provided to 240 10-to 14-year old children and their incarcerated African-American mothers who have been addicted to narcotics during the child's lifetime. The effort will provide a newly developed psychoeducational coping skill intervention for the children, and a standardized parenting skills program for both the addict inmate mothers and for the caretakers who are responsible for the children during the mother's incarceration. This prevention intervention approach is designed to impact three major areas: 1) The child's pro-social development, including the avoidance of substance abuse, the development of positive life options, and the child's ability to deal with the traumatic aspects of his/her mother's addiction career and the loss of her presence due to incarceration; 2) The parenting ability of the mother and thus, ultimately, the satisfactory functioning of the mother-child relationship or bond; and 3) The parenting skills of the current caretakers as they aid the children in their current adjustment and functioning. Self-report, behavioral, and psychometric assessments will provide outcome data on the children, their addict mothers, and their caretakers at pre- and post- intervention, and 12 months following enrollment in the program.

本研究旨在评估对 240 名 10 至 14 岁儿童及其在孩子一生中曾吸毒成瘾的被监禁的非洲裔美国母亲提供的干预措施的单独和综合影响。 这项工作将为儿童提供新开发的心理教育应对技能干预措施，并为成瘾囚犯母亲和在母亲监禁期间负责照顾孩子的看护者提供标准化育儿技能计划。 这种预防干预方法旨在影响三个主要领域：1) 儿童的亲社会发展，包括避免药物滥用、制定积极的生活选择以及儿童处理母亲所造成的创伤的能力。毒瘾生涯以及因监禁而丧失存在感； 2) 母亲的养育能力以及最终母子关系或纽带的令人满意的运作； 3) 当前看护者帮助孩子进行当前调整和运作的养育技能。 自我报告、行为和心理测量评估将提供干预前后以及加入该计划后 12 个月内儿童、其成瘾母亲及其看护者的结果数据。
