Annotation: This report presents the findings on the effects of parent training programs in two Massachusetts urban residential treatment centers for substance-abusing pregnant women. The programs included training and multiple services for the women and their infants while they were in treatment and after their discharge. The report describes the women, changes in their parenting skills and self-esteem, their assessment of the program, the infant's development, follow-up data on a sample of the women, factors that predict program retention, and implications of the findings. The program is one of a group focusing on pregnant and postpartum women and infants (PPWI). [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention]
