Only a small fraction of drug users worldwide enter treatment each year. We evaluated the efficacy of a systemic family outreach intervention (SFOI) for young, untreated drug users, using a quasi-experimental design in which the experimental group (EG) received SFOI and the control group (CG) received traditional outreach work (OW). Both pre- and post-treatment, we administered the Addiction Severity Index-6 (ASI-6), the Family Environment Scale (FES), and tests of parental practices and risky behavior. Post-treatment, there was a fivefold improvement on the ASI-6 and a significant worsening on the conflict sub-scale of the FES in the EG as compared with the CG. SFOI was more efficacious than OW in reducing drug use in the drug user's home environment. The increased conflict in the EG might be explained by parents' increased awareness of abnormal behaviors and implementation of strategies to protect their children.

Se presenta un estudio cualitativo que da cuenta de la percepción de mujeres chilenas de 29 a 39 años de edad, sobre la experiencia de tener su primer hijo al interior de una familia simultánea. Se entrevistó a dieciséis mujeres, cuyas parejas tenían hijos de relaciones previas y mantenían un contacto activo con ellos. Los resultados indican la existencia de un proceso para “llegar a ser madres”, cuyo curso se ve afectado por la presencia de los hijastros. Además, los hallazgos muestran que se presentan motivaciones y temores específicos asociados al contexto particular de familia, variando la experiencia de llegar a ser madres acorde con la cualidad percibida en las relaciones entre ellas y sus hijastros
