A Model for Assessing and Improving Drug Abuse Treatment Resource Use in Inner-City Areas

Abstract
While the field of drug use research has grown increasingly sophisticated theoretically and methodologically, there continues to be a need to improve our understanding of how drug abuse treatment programs relate to the communities they serve. In addressing this need, the present paper develops a research model, incorporating systems theory concepts, which provides a framework for evaluating how the relationships of drug abuse treatment programs to various consumer and community interest groups affect their performance.
