Women Offenders, Substance Use, and Behaviour

Description

Although four-in-five women offenders in Canada have substance use problems, little research has focused on the variability in their substance use and its relationship to correctional outcomes. Given that consideration of such variability has been shown to improve treatment success in community samples, a study was undertaken to examine the relationships of both substance use severity and type of user with institutional and post-release behaviour.
