Children’s Program for children of parents with substance abuse

Children who have substance abusing parents are in need of supportive services. The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Children’s Program and programs directly based on the Children’s Program-model are interventions that aim to support children in better understanding substance use disorders and their own feelings and needs, and to strengthen the parent-child relationship through better communication.

SBU Enquiry Service

Consists of structured literature searches to highlight studies that can address questions received by the SBU Enquiry Service from Swedish healthcare or social service providers. We assess the risk of bias in systematic reviews and when needed also quality and transferability of results in health economic studies. Relevant references are compiled by an SBU staff member, in consultation with an external expert when needed.
