Abstract: Maternal substance use is considered a significant risk for child maltreatment and neglect, and thus, a common feature in care proceedings (Family Courts). It is important to better understand how the complex needs of these mothers impact on care proceedings’ outcomes. The present study explored individual and clinical characteristics of mothers receiving treatment for substance use to describe who the mothers involved in care proceedings are, and explore what factors are associated with out-of-home placement of their children.
