摘要：OBJECTIVES: This study examined the self-reported needs of women in jail who indicated a need for drug abuse services. METHODS: A total of 165 interviews were conducted of women held in a large, urban county jail in Ohio in May 1999. RESULTS: Drug-abusing women were more likely to report a need for housing, mental health counseling, education, job training, medical care, family support, and parenting assistance when released from jail. CONCLUSIONS: The provision of drug abuse treatment referrals to women in jail may not break the continual cycle of drug use and incarceration if other needs cannot be addressed.
