虽然研究表明，组织的特点大大影响了循证实践（EBP）的采用和使用，有很少的实证研究组织因素最有可能影响成功实施EBP，特别是在刑事司法环境。这项研究审查了与变革小组在实现对离开教养机构和接受社区服务的人的评估和案件规划程序的改进方面取得成功有关的组织特征。在对NIDA刑事司法药物滥用治疗研究（CJDATS）合作的组织过程改进干预（OPII）的评估中，21个地点被随机分配到早期启动或延迟启动条件。对于该分析，合并了两种条件下的数据。机构较少的程序需求，良好的沟通，足够的人员配备水平，良好的监督，对康复的积极态度，以及更高的机构能力的变化能够更好地实施计划的变化评估和个案规划程序。这类机构可能是实施改进战略的更好的候选者，而其他机构则可以受益于旨在加强这些特征的干预前努力，然后再试图改进评估程序。
Although research indicates that organizational characteristics substantially influence the adoption and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs), there has been little empirical research on organizational factors most likely to influence successful implementation of EBPs, particularly in criminal justice settings. This study examined organizational characteristics related to the success of change teams in achieving improvements in assessment and case-planning procedures for persons leaving correctional settings and receiving community services. In this evaluation of the Organizational Process Improvement Intervention (OPII), part of NIDA’s Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJDATS) cooperative, 21 sites were randomized to an Early-Start or a Delayed-Start condition. For this analysis, data from both conditions were combined. Agencies with fewer program needs, good communication, adequate staffing levels, good supervision, positive attitude toward rehabilitation, and higher institutional capacity for change were better able to implement planned changes in assessment and case-planning procedures. Such agencies may be better candidates for implementation improvement strategies, whereas other agencies could benefit from pre-intervention efforts aimed at strengthening these characteristics before attempting to improve assessment procedures.
