Factors Affecting Mother-Child Visiting Identified by Women with Histories of Substance Abuse and Child Custody Loss.

Kovalesky, Andrea

Child Welfare, v80 n6 p749-68 Nov-Dec 2001

Studied the influence of maternal substance abuse upon the placement of children in out-of-home care and the subsequent effects on mother-child visitation. Found five major factors that can promote or inhibit visiting: (1) mother's drug use and health status; (2) effect of visits on child; (3) transportation; (4) scheduling/visit settings; and (5) support of others.
