Criminal Justice AddIction Treatment in Texas (CJATT)

描述（由申请人提供）： 德克萨斯基督教大学 (TCU) 行为研究所 (IBR) 与德克萨斯州刑事司法部 (TDCJ) 合作，提出了 3 个作为 CJ-DATS 研究中心的研究概念。这些是多地点返回监管结果研究、治疗过程的专门研究以及社区重返护理模式的测试。 TCU 在治疗评估领域拥有 30 多年的经验，其多地点研究资格包括开发测量策略和“公共领域”工具、评估治疗过程和结果、评估与变化相关的组织结构和气候，以及开发和测试时间序列数据动态关系的综合模型。除了早期 NlDA 资助的多站点项目外，TCU 还是药物滥用治疗结果合作研究 (DATOS) 项目的合作研究中心。作为 DATOS 的一部分，TCU 工作人员与其他站点和 NIDA 密切有效地合作，建立了一个行政和决策系统，涉及基于任务的委员会，以及指导和传播科学成就的电子和纸质通信协议。 TCU 的经验还包括过去十年中的多次 CJ 评估，重点是开发便携式纵向治疗过程评估系统、设计和评估适合罪犯的基于认知的治疗干预措施、评估治疗连续体的相互关联组成部分（包括重返社区期间继续治疗）以及进行长期随访研究。目前，我们的合作伙伴德克萨斯州惩教系统正在为 60 多个项目地点的 10,000 多名囚犯提供各种强化治疗服务，为研究涉及复杂认知和行为成分的综合多阶段治疗系统提供了独特的机会。 TDCJ 已准备好评估这些治疗方法在各个亚组（包括性别、年龄、种族/民族、农村/城市）的有效性，愿意实施新的干预措施，并提供“未经治疗”的比较样本以及在适当时使用随机分配的能力。 TCU 与 TDCJ 有着良好的合作关系。该提案中提供了有关 TCU 和 TDCJ 的资格、经验、合作关系和使命的证据，我们的合作伙伴关系将支持成功且富有成效的 CJ-DATS。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partnering with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the Institute of Behavioral Research (IBR) at Texas Christian University (TCU) proposes 3 research concepts as a CJ-DATS Research Center. These are a multisite return-to-custody outcome study, specialized study of treatment process, and test of a community re-entry care model. With over 30 years experience in the treatment evaluation field, TCU's multisite research qualifications have included developing measurement strategies and "public domain" instruments, evaluating treatment process and outcomes, assessing organizational structure and climate related to change, and developing and testing integrative models of dynamic relationships in time sequenced data. In addition to earlier NlDA-funded multisite projects, TCU was a collaborating research center for the Cooperative Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Studies (DATOS) project. As part of DATOS, TCU staff worked closely and effectively with other sites and NIDA to establish an administrative and decision-making system involving task-based committees, and both electronic- and paper-based communication protocols that guided and disseminated scientific accomplishments. TCU experience also includes a number of CJ evaluations during the past decade, with an emphasis on developing a portable longitudinal treatment process assessment system, designing and assessing cognitive-based therapeutic interventions appropriate for offenders, assessing the interrelated components of the treatment continuum (including continuation of treatment during community re-entry), and conducting long-term follow-up studies. Currently providing a wide variety of intensive treatment services to over 10,000 inmates in over 60 program locations, our partner, the Texas correctional system, offers a unique opportunity to study a comprehensive multi-staged treatment system involving complex cognitive and behavioral components. TDCJ is ready to assess the effectiveness of these treatment approaches across subgroups (including gender, age, race/ethnicity, rural/urban), willing to implement new interventions, and offers "untreated" comparison samples and the ability to use random assignment when appropriate. TCU has an excellent collaborative relationship with TDCJ. Evidence is presented in this proposal concerning the qualifications, experience, collaborative relationships, and mission of TCU and TDCJ, and our partnership will support a successful and productive CJ-DATS.
