title: Pretreatment status variables and treatment implementation for cocaine misuse: a latent variable structural model pilot study.
abstract: This study was designed to test the utility of a latent variable structural equation covariance model for cocaine misuser treatment outcome research. Three structural models were tested for goodness-of-fit of data obtained from a sample of subjects (N = 206) receiving drug misuser treatment in four treatment settings in a treatment program in Nevada. Fourteen variables were entered into the structural equations. An adequately fitting model was found (CFK = .956), [chi 2(6, N = 205) = 15.77, p > .01]. The subjects' discharge rates did not differ significantly by the severity of cocaine misuse at admission.
