Abstract

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the influence of positive interpersonal associations on treatment length of stay for clients with a substance use disorder. We used clinical data mining (CDM) methodology for this study. The clinical data we used is from client records at three substance use day treatment locations (N = 444). These sites operate under the same agency. We analyzed four measures of positive interpersonal associations including outside support systems, substance-using housing environments, 12-Step involvement, and sponsorship in a 12-Step program. Using 10 imputed datasets to run the model, we found these variables to not significantly influence treatment length of stay. However, there was a significant relationship between number of children each client had and length of stay. Results suggest that other factors may better account for varying time clients spend in treatment. Further research on the effect of other influences, such as interpersonal associations specifically within treatment, on a client’s length of stay is important.

使用临床数据挖掘评估人际关联和药物使用治疗

摘要本研究评估了积极的人际关系对药物使用障碍患者治疗停留时间的影响。本研究采用了临床数据挖掘（CDM）方法。我们使用的临床数据来自三个药物使用日治疗地点的客户记录（N=444）。这些网站在同一机构下运作。我们分析了积极人际关系的四个指标，包括外部支持系统、物质使用的住房环境、12步参与和12步计划的赞助。使用10个估算数据集运行模型，我们发现这些变量对治疗停留时间没有显著影响。然而，每位客户的子女数量与住院时间之间存在显著关系。结果表明，其他因素可能会更好地解释客户在治疗中花费的不同时间。进一步研究其他影响因素，如治疗中的人际关系，对客户住院时间的影响很重要。
