DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Chesapeake Implementation Center at George Mason University proposes to continue as a research center in the next installment of the Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies. Our partners are the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (federal probation and parole system) and correctional and health state partners in Maryland and Virginia as well as major cities (Baltimore and Richmond). Our group reflects the heterogeneity of the justice system in governing authorities, populations (juvenile and adult), and settings and will provide a fertile ground to test implementation models. We aim to: 1) examine organizational change processes involved in adopting, implementing, and sustaining evidence-based treatment practices; 2) conduct rigorous multi-site implementation studies designed to improve continuum of care models within and across justice and health systems; 3) conduct research on treatment effectiveness and delivery systems in correctional settings; 4) examine strategies to improve workforce skill development; and 5) foster collaboration to advance knowledge exchange, dissemination, and utilization of research among organizations serving substance abusing offenders. We bring a dynamic team with expertise in justice and health systems, and extensive hands-on experience building organizational and systems change through research and technical assistance to policymakers, administrators, clinicians and counselors, supervision officers, and line staff. Our research concepts focus on systemic improvements, primarily in neglected community settings, through workforce skill enhancement and use of quality improvement processes that engages staff as agents of change. The proposed studies are designed to: 1) advance the use of psychometrically sound tools for screening and referring offenders to treatment services; 2) increase the use and effectiveness of evidence-based strategies (i.e. motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, etc.) through skill development techniques; and 3) strategies for improving the continuum of care for HIV/STI risk reduction and increased testing and treatment for youth and adult offenders. The goal is to help build and enable performance-driven organizational cultures that can cultivate a sustainable continuum of high-quality, empirically-supported services. CJ-DATS 2 will provide a platform for understanding change processes at the individual, programmatic, organizational, and systems level. The diverse research team is capable of conducting research in various sites, as well as to make contributions to the field of science. This study will build on nearly 20 years of partnerships with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, Administrative Office of the Courts (federal), Maryland Department of Juvenile Services, and Virginia Department of Corrections. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The criminal justice system is a service provider for over 8 million adults and nearly 650,000 youth. This set of studies will improve the capacity of the justice system to improve the health and well-being of offenders through the integration of evidence-based practices into daily operations. The emphasis will be on accessing drug treatment, HIV continuum of care, and other services to link justice and community agencies to provide a continuum of care for reentering offenders.

描述（由申请人提供）：乔治梅森大学切萨皮克实施中心建议继续作为下一期刑事司法药物滥用治疗研究的研究中心。我们的合作伙伴是美国法院行政办公室（联邦缓刑和假释系统）以及马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州以及主要城市（巴尔的摩和里士满）的惩教和健康州合作伙伴。我们的小组反映了管理当局、人口（青少年和成人）和环境中司法系统的异质性，并将为测试实施模式提供肥沃的土壤。我们的目标是：1)检查涉及采用、实施和维持循证治疗实践的组织变革过程；2)开展严格的多地点实施研究，旨在改善司法和卫生系统内部和整个系统的连续护理模式；3)对惩教机构的治疗效果和提供系统进行研究；4)研究提高劳动力技能发展的策略；5)促进合作，促进知识交流、传播和研究成果在服务滥用药物罪犯的组织之间的应用。我们带来了一支充满活力的团队，他们具有司法和卫生系统方面的专业知识，并通过向决策者、行政人员、临床医生和咨询师、监督官员和一线工作人员提供研究和技术援助，在组织和系统变革方面拥有丰富的实践经验。我们的研究概念侧重于系统改进，主要是在被忽视的社区环境中，通过提高劳动力技能和使用质量改进过程，使员工成为变革的推动者。拟议的研究旨在：1)促进使用心理测量学上健全的工具来筛选和推荐罪犯接受治疗服务；2)通过技能发展技术提高循证策略（如动机性访谈、认知行为疗法等）的使用和有效性；3)改善艾滋病毒/性传播感染风险降低和增加对青年和成年罪犯的检测和治疗的连续护理战略。我们的目标是帮助建立和实现绩效驱动的组织文化，这种文化可以培养高质量、经验支持的服务的可持续连续体。CJ-DATS 2将为理解个人、计划、组织和系统级别的变更过程提供一个平台。多元化的研究团队能够在不同的地点进行研究，并为科学领域做出贡献。这项研究将建立在与马里兰州公共安全和惩教服务部、法院行政办公室（联邦）、马里兰州青少年服务部和弗吉尼亚州惩教部近20年的合作关系的基础上。公共卫生相关性：刑事司法系统为800多万成年人和近65万青年提供服务。这组研究将通过将循证做法纳入日常业务，提高司法系统改善罪犯健康和福祉的能力。重点将放在获得药物治疗、艾滋病毒连续护理和其他服务上，以便将司法机构和社区机构联系起来，为重返社会的罪犯提供连续护理。
