This study of Pregnant Drug Abusers in treatment is a randomized trial of Enhanced- Behavioral Skills Training (E-BST) compared to a time- and attention-matched Health Promotion Comparison (HPC) condition. It responds to the NIH priority on translational research to adapt effective research-based intervention strategies to 'real world' conditions. If successful, this research will offer a realizable HIV intervention strategy, bridging research and practice, that can be implemented for pregnant drug abusers within their communities.
