尽管对改善惩教和药物滥用治疗组织之间的合作有着浓厚的兴趣，但缺乏描述现有做法的经验数据。目前的研究采用了全国性的调查惩教管理人员，以检查组织因素有关的跨机构的合作和整合活动之间的更正和药物滥用治疗组织。使用一种协作措施，将跨机构活动从结构化程度较低的非正式网络和协调扩展到结构化程度较高的正式合作和协作水平，我们发现，不同的惩教环境（例如，社区矫正所、监狱、监狱）在与药物滥用治疗机构的合作活动方面存在很大差异。我们还发现，与不同层次的合作和整合的组织特征不同的惩教设置。需要进一步研究，以更好地了解惩教机构如何以及为什么决定与治疗机构正式合作安排，以及这些努力是否会带来更有利的结果。(C)2009年由Elsevier爱尔兰有限公司出版。
Despite strong interest in improving collaborations between correctional and substance abuse treatment organizations, there is a lack of empirical data describing the existing practices. The Current Study used a national Survey of correctional administrators to examine organizational factors related to cross-agency collaboration and integration activities between corrections and Substance abuse treatment organization. Using a measure of collaboration that scaled cross-agency activities from less Structured, informal networking and coordination to more structured and formalized levels of cooperation and collaboration, we found that different correctional settings (e.g., community Corrections, jails, prisons) differed significantly in terms of their collaborative activities with Substance abuse treatment agencies. We also found that the organizational characteristics that were associated with different levels of collaboration and integration differed across the Correctional settings. Further research is needed to better understand how and why correctional agencies decide to formalize collaborative arrangements with treatment agencies and whether these efforts lead to more favorable outcomes.
