这篇文章报道了来自一个实验研究项目的结果，该项目评估了毒品法庭的风险原则。先前的研究表明，高风险和有（a）反社会人格障碍或（B）既往药物滥用治疗史的参与者在药物法庭上的表现更好，当计划参加双周一次的法庭司法地位听证会时。相比之下，低风险的参与者表现相当，无论法庭听证会的时间表。本研究前瞻性地匹配毒品法庭客户的最佳时间表的法庭听证会的基础上评估他们的风险状况，并比较结果随机分配到标准的听证会时间表的客户。结果证实，高风险的参与者和匹配的双周听证会有更好的治疗过程中的结果比参与者分配到状态听证会像往常一样。这些研究结果提供了毒品法庭的风险原则的确认，并为提高毒品法庭的效率和成本效益产生实际的信息。
This article reports out comes from a program of experimental research evaluating the risk principle in drug courts. Prior studies revealed that participants who were high risk and had(a) antisocial personality disorder or(b) a prior history of drug abuse treatment performed better in drug court when scheduled to attend biweekly judicial status hearings in court. In contrast, participants who were low risk performed equivalently regardless of the court hearings schedule. This study prospectively matches drug court clients to the optimal schedule of court hearings based on an assessment of their risk status and compares outcomes to clients randomly assigned to the standard hearings schedule. Results confirmed that participants who were high risk and matched to biweekly hearings had better during-treatment outcomes than participants assigned to status hearings as usual. These findings provide confirmation of the risk principle in drug courts and yield practical information for enhancing the efficacy and cost-efficiency of drug courts.
