The Pacific Coast Research Center of the NIDA CJ-DATS

描述(由申请人提供)： 本提案寻求NIDA作为国家刑事司法药物滥用治疗研究系统(DATS)合作研究中心之一的支持。具体地说，加州大学洛杉矶分校综合药物滥用计划(ISAP)建议成为代表加利福尼亚州和俄勒冈州的太平洋海岸研究中心(PCRC)。CJ-DATS的目的是建立一个全国性的研究系统，旨在评估和测试多点研究中的干预措施，这些研究涉及系统一级的干预措施，以及与将公共卫生和公共安全方法整合到吸毒罪犯，特别是那些在监狱或假释期的罪犯有关的问题。选定的CJ-DATS研究中心将分三个阶段进行这项研究。第一阶段将包括建立一个指导委员会和一项研究计划；第二阶段将涉及评估和干预方案的试验性测试；第三阶段将致力于进行多地点研究并编写研究报告和出版物。根据NIDA RFA的要求，我们提供了三个研究概念供CJ-DATS协作组考虑。这些拟议的研究，每一项都包括随机分配，涉及：(1)适应治疗方案的机构准备情况；(2)监狱中非自愿治疗的影响和结果；(3)对监狱治疗参与者进行社区治疗安置的可靠和有效评估的必要性。PCRC将把ISAP研究人员30多年的刑事司法治疗研究经验与4家成熟的囚犯和假释犯治疗提供者(凤凰屋、瓦尔登之家、精神健康系统和新方向西北)以及加利福尼亚州和俄勒冈州惩教部的经验结合起来。因此，PCRC处于有利地位，可以成为NIDA CJ-DATS倡议的主要贡献者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The present proposal seeks support from NIDA to participate as one of the Research Centers for the National Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Research System (CJ-DATS) collaborative. Specifically, the UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Program (ISAP) proposes to become the Pacific Coast Research Center (PCRC), representing California and Oregon. The purpose of CJ-DATS is to establish a nationwide research system designed to evaluate and test interventions in multi-site studies that address systems-level interventions and issues related to integrating public health and public safety approaches for drug-using offenders, particularly those in prison or on parole. The selected CJ-DATS Research Centers will undertake this research in three phases. Phase I will involve the establishment of a Steering Committee and a study plan; Phase II will involve pilot testing of assessments and intervention protocols; and Phase III will be devoted to conducting multi-site research studies and preparing research reports and publications. As requested in this NIDA RFA, we have provided three research concepts for consideration by the CJ-DATS collaborative. These proposed studies, each of which included random assignment, address: (1) institutional readiness to accommodate a treatment program; (2) the impact and outcomes of involuntary treatment in prison; and (3) the need for reliable and effective assessment of prison treatment participants for community treatment placement. The PCRC would combine ISAP researchers' experience of more than 3 decades of criminal justice treatment research with the experience of 4 established providers of treatment for prisoners and parolees (Phoenix House, Walden House, Mental Health Systems, and New Directions Northwest) and the California and Oregon Departments of Corrections. Thus, the PCRC is well positioned to be a major contributor to NIDA's CJ-DATS initiative.
