Abstract: Background: The rate of women with substance abuse issues is increasing. Women present with a unique constellation of risk factors and presenting needs, which may include specific needs in their role as mothers. Numerous integrated programs (those with substance use treatment and pregnancy, parenting, or child services) have been developed to specifically meet the needs of pregnant and parenting women with substance abuse issues. This synthesis and meta-analysis reviews research in this important and growing area of treatment. Methods: We searched PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PUBMED, Web of Science, EMBASE, Proquest Dissertations, Sociological Abstracts, and CINAHL and compiled a database of 21 studies (2 randomized trials, 9 quasi-experimental studies, 10 cohort studies) of integrated programs published between 1990 and 2007 with outcome data on maternal substance use. Data were summarized and where possible, meta-analyses were performed, using standardized mean differences (d) effect size estimates. Results: In the two studies comparing integrated programs to no treatment, effect sizes for urine toxicology and percent using substances significantly favored integrated programs and ranged from 0.18 to 1.41. Studies examining changes in maternal substance use from beginning to end of treatment were statistically significant and medium sized. More specifically, in the five studies measuring severity of drug and alcohol use, the average effect sizes were 0.64 and 0.40, respectively. In the four cohort studies of days of use, the average effect size was 0.52. of studies comparing integrated to non-integrated programs, four studies assessed urine toxicology and two assessed self-reported abstinence. Overall effect sizes for each measure were not statistically significant (d = -0.09 and 0.22, respectively). Conclusions: Findings suggest that integrated programs are effective in reducing maternal substance use. However, integrated programs were not significantly more effective than non-integrated programs. Policy implications are discussed with specific attention to the need for funding of high quality randomized control trials and improved reporting practices.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to describe the publication characteristics associated with therapeutic community research and illustrate differences between addiction studies and other types of therapeutic community papers. A total of 223 published reports on research pertaining to the therapeutic community in a variety of treatment settings from 1987 to 1992 were analyzed. The articles consisted mainly of addiction studies (38%) and hospital psychiatry (36%) studies. Collaborative authorship was scanty. Quantitative studies (systematic data presented and analyzed statistically) were performed more often in addiction papers than in psychiatric therapeutic community papers. Addiction studies were also cited slightly more often. Addictions are often a rather simple and distinct focus for research, as well as a major public health problem. This may lead to the smoother use of traditional quantitative research strategies and standard publication channels than in other psychiatric therapeutic community studies.

Abstract: The development and adoption of reduced tillage practices over the last two decades has proven to be an important factor in controlling soil losses in cultivated fields. In order to evaluate the growth pattern of conservation tillage research conducted in the last fifteen years, a bibliometric analysis, based primarily on abstracts published in Soils and Fertilizers, has been performed. The contribution to world output for different geographical regions has been assessed comparing the amount of scientific and technical publications for the 1975-77 and 1987-89 periods. While the output of total tillage related papers has increased only three times in that period, that of conservation tillage papers has increased five times. Though a slight trend to increase the number of papers dealing with soil erosion can be noted, much more attention should be paid to this issue in the Mediterranean region, specially under dryland conditions. A priority research program on new conservation tillage systems for the middle part of the Ebro river valley, NE Spain, is briefly outlined.
