Abstract
Across cultures approximately one third of people with drug dependence are women of childbearing age There is emerging evidence regarding the effectiveness of integrating pregnancy parenting and child development services with addiction services In 2007 we conducted a national survey of addiction agencies serving women to provide preliminary information on available services Approximately one half of the program managers reported providing some type of pregnancy parenting or childrelated services the majority of which were external referrals and very few agencies provided any services for children under 5 years These findings indicate a gap in services in Canada Reliable data on services for women with substance use issues and their children is essential to ensure appropriate resource allocation Program managers reported preferring to receive practicerelated research information through facetoface contact information which will be helpful to knowledge translation efforts
