| The San Francisco Criminal Justice Treatment NETWORK for Women (NETWORK) was established by the San Francisco Adult Probation Department as part of a demonstration project sponsored by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). This presentation will compare baseline and initial follow-up outcomes of women receiving (n=150) and not receiving (n=150) case management services provided by the NETWORK. Participants were recruited through a Pilot Study using a wait-list control group strategy (n=110), or through random assignment (n=190). Interviews were conducted at baseline, 6 months post baseline, and 12 months post baseline. Instruments included the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), and a measure of Social Support. Outcome variables to be examined will include the ASI composite scores; select ASI variables; and BDI, BSI, and Social Support scores. Comparisons will be made both between and within groups at each time point, and longitudinally over the 12-month study period. Conclusions resulting from these comparisons will also be discussed |
