Preschool mental health
Despite the availability of effective early interventions, few preschoolers with mental health issues receive these services. This situation exists partly due to challenges in the identification of emotional and behavioral issues in young children. We developed the Brief Child and Family Intake and Outcomes System for Preschoolers, which is a 60-item standardized online parent questionnaire including three externalizing scales (Regulating Attenti…
Knowledge Translation for Service Providers with Addiction or Recovery Experience
Factors related to implementation of evidence-based practices in the treatment of addiction include the personal history of addiction and recovery of service providers working in those treatment services. The purpose of this Delphi study was to outline knowledge translation (KT) activities that are specific to the needs of service providers who are themselves in recovery from addiction. Twelve administrators of addiction agencies serving women in…
The Working Model of the Child Interview
The Working Model of the Child Interview (WMCI; C.H. Zeanah, D. Benoit, & M.L.Barton, 1986) assesses caregiver internal representation of his or her child and the relationship with the child, with a relatively new coding system for representations associated with disorganized attachment—WMCI-Disrupted (WMCI-D; A. Crawford & D. Benoit, 2009). In the present study, we investigated the stability of the WMCI-D classification using a sample of 62 moth…
Predictors of Research Use Among Staff in Aboriginal Addiction Treatment Programs Serving Women
The objective of this study was to identify the predictors of research use among staff from Aboriginal addiction programs serving women. A total of 89 staff from 26 Aboriginal addiction programs completed an online survey that included items assessing the theory of planned behavior constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control), intent to use research, and research use. Consistent with the theory of planned behavior, resea…

Women with substance use issues and their children have unique needs that are best met through collaborative and coordinated service delivery offered by a variety of agencies. However, in Canada and elsewhere, services tend to be fragmented and fail to address children's needs. This study aimed to describe the partnership patterns, activities, and qualities among Canadian agencies serving women with addictions and to determine predictors of partn…

"New Choices" for women with addictions
Interview findings endorse the appropriateness and potential efficacy of a collaborative, centralized approach to service provision for women with substance use issues. Although the findings provide insight into an alternative model of service delivery for women with addictions, future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Research also is needed to determine which program components or constellation of components …
A Meta-Analysis of Time between Maternal Sensitivity and Attachment Assessments
This meta-analysis of maternal sensitivity and infant/toddler attachment security includes 41 studies with 2243 dyads. Its purpose is to explore the impact of time between assessments of maternal sensitivity and attachment security on the strength of association between these two constructs. We also examined the interrelationships between this moderator variable and other moderators identified in the literature, such as age and risk status of the…
