A smart design: Response to reinforcement-based treatment intensity among pregnant, drug-dependent women

Results: Those who had Tvi were more likely to have ever used crack, powder cocaine,marijuana, heroin, speedball, and other opiates. They were also more likely to have been diagnosed with hepatitis B (HBV), gonorrhea (GC), syphilis, Chlamydia (CT), HPV, herpes, and yeast infection. For those who had been tested for other infections, there was a significant association with hepatitis B. Themultivariatemodel included GC (OR=2.9), Black vs. Hispanic (OR=2.6), crack (OR=2.4), CT (OR=2.2), Syphilis (OR=1.8), andHPV (OR=1.6). Conclusions: The associations of Tvi with drugs other than crack, and with HBV, herpes, HPV, and yeast infection in the US is a contribution to new knowledge and clarifies the risk profile for this infection.
