, Evidence-based practice and the target population
The Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP) is the most widely used
evidence-based program in children and families. The program offers an
evidence-based home-based examination supervision strategy for
expectant and nursing moms with drug use problems. Women who use
alcohol or drugs excessively during pregnancy, or who did and gave birth
in the previous 12 months, and are not successfully linked to social

serving high-risk mothers and their families during pregnancy since 1991,
employing a theory-based program that includes relational theory, harm
reduction, and stages of change (Grant, 2010). Qualified and accredited
case professionals carry out PCAP treatment operations. Each manager
works with
16 families over three years, during pregnancy or after delivery. PCAP
case managers serve as positive role models and mentors, offering
