This 5 year study, targeting Pregnant Drug Abusers in treatment, is a randomized trial of an Enhanced Behavioral Skills Training (E-BST) intervention compared to a time-and attention-matched Health Promotion Comparison (HPC) condition. E-BST is an adaptation of the original BST intervention (Eldridge, St. Lawrence et al., 1997), designed to strengthen relationship-based social competency skills of the original BST that were crucial in sustaining adherence to protective behavior.
