چکیده
A lack of basic literacy may increase the likelihood that individuals will fail to complete drug and alcohol treatment programs. To explore the relation between literacy and success in drug court, we collected reading and math scores using the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems (CASAS) and tracked success through the program. In addition, we obtained information on the motivations clients had for pursuing the program. Individuals with higher literacy tended to be more likely to successfully complete the program; however, the effect was not statistically significant. Participants who either engaged in, or expressed an interest in education, graduated more often than those who did not. These results may provide justification for developing interventions designed to increase the literacy of individuals referred to Drug Court.
