Adobe PDF Women, Children and Family Treatment (WCFT) NIATx Collaborative: Final Report
This report describes how the sites used the NIATx model to increase family involvement in treatment services for pregnant and postpartum women. Research supports increasing family engagement as a way to improve treatment outcomes for pregnant and postpartum women with substance abuse problems. Over the course of the collaborative, the participating sites developed a set of practice examples that helped them increase family engagement. These practices are not evidence-based (supported by research) but did prove effective at increasing engagement among the sites involved. A section of this report describes these practice examples for other organizations to test in their own efforts to increase family engagement.
