DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposal is to develop a woman-focused model of care specifically for use in a drug court system. Social Solutions International, Inc. (SSi), in cooperation with UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (ISAP), proposes to develop this woman-focused, innovative model of a drug court program. This model of care will incorporate research, judicial training, appropriate treatment, criminal justice supervision, and services for women eligible for participation in drug court settings nationwide. Specifically, this project proposes to develop an innovative model of drug court for women offenders, which encompasses education and training for drug court personnel and substance abuse treatment staff, and an appropriate schedule of graduated sanctions to promote abstinence and other positive behaviors (e.g., reduced HIV risk behavior, reduced criminal activity, and improved employment/ education status, parenting skills, relationship skills, and psychological functioning) among women offenders deferred from incarceration through drug court. The proposed project involves the cooperation of the Los Angeles County Drug Court, in California, and the Center for Gender and Justice (as Advisory Board participants). Specific Aims: The proposed study has the following specific aims: 1. To develop a woman-focused training to educate drug court personnel (i.e., the judge, district attorney, public defender, bailiff, sheriff, etc.) on the specific issues relevant to the recovery of drug-dependent women offenders (e.g., HIV-risk behavior, mental health, physical health, prostitution, child-custody, trauma, domestic violence, etc.); 2. To develop a specific drug court model for drug-dependent women offenders the TOWAR toolkit -- encompassing an appropriate and manualized treatment protocol for drug-dependent women offenders (i.e., Helping Women Recover), a woman-focused schedule of graduated sanctions (i.e., consequences for failure to meet program requirements) and a systematic link between the court and social service partners in the county; 3. To qualitatively assess the feasibility of a woman-focused drug court model of treatment and supervision (i.e., from focus groups and interviews with existing drug court personnel). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: An extensive body of literature has shown that drug-dependent women offenders' treatment needs and issues are very different than those for men and indeed more complex (Messina et al., 2003; Bloom, 1999). However, while there are currently over 1,000 drug courts in operation or planning stages across the nation, only one drug court currently specializes in delivering woman-focused treatment and supervision (Drug Strategies, 1998). The proposed comprehensive training and woman-focused model of care is relevant to public health because it addresses the current gap in the knowledge- base about drug-dependent women offenders and their complex treatment needs, which is especially important since published data influence funding directions as well as public perceptions of treatment for women, and the lack of in-depth data on treatment for drug- dependent women offenders can effectively exclude their needs and interests from critically important public health policy decisions.

描述（由申请人提供）：I阶段小型企业技术转移（STTR）的目的是开发专门用于药物法院系统的以女性为中心的护理模型。 Social Solutions International，Inc。（SSI）与UCLA综合药物滥用计划（ISAP）合作，提议开发这种专注于女性的药物法院计划的创新模型。这种护理模式将纳入研究，司法培训，适当的治疗，刑事司法监督以及有资格参加全国药品法庭环境的妇女服务。具体而言，该项目提议为女性罪犯开发毒品法院的创新模型，该模型涵盖了对药物法院人员和滥用药物滥用治疗人员的教育和培训，以及适当的逐步制裁时间表，以促进戒酒和其他积极行为（例如，降低HIV的风险，减少犯罪行为，通过犯罪行为，降低犯罪/教育状况，与父母的联系，与父母的联系，降低艾滋病毒的风险，降低艾滋病毒的行为，毒品法庭。拟议的项目涉及加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县毒品法院的合作以及性别与正义中心（作为顾问委员会参与者）。具体目的：拟议的研究具有以下具体目的：1。开展以女性为中心的培训来教育毒品法院的人员（即法官，地方检察官，公共辩护人，法警，警长，警长等），讨论与恢复毒品依赖毒品依赖的妇女罪犯相关的具体问题2。为依赖毒品依赖的女性罪犯开发特定的药物法庭模型，包括针对毒品依赖的妇女罪犯的适当而手动的治疗方案（即帮助女性康复），这是一个以女性为中心的毕业生制裁时间表（即未能满足计划要求的后果）和法院和社交服务部门和社交服务的后果； 3。定性评估以女性为中心的毒品法院治疗和监督模型的可行性（即，来自焦点小组以及对现有毒品法院人员的访谈）。公共卫生相关性：广泛的文献表明，依赖毒品的女性罪犯的治疗需求和问题与男性且实际上更为复杂的人非常不同（Messina等，2003； Bloom，1999）。但是，尽管目前在全国范围内有超过1000个毒品法院正在运营或计划阶段，但目前只有一个毒品法院专门提供以女性为中心的治疗和监督（药物策略，1998年）。拟议的全面培训和以女性为中心的护理模型与公共卫生有关，因为它解决了有关依赖药物依赖的女性罪犯及其复杂治疗需求的知识基础上的差距，这尤其重要，因为发表的数据影响了资金方向以及公众对妇女治疗的看法，以及对妇女的治疗缺乏对依赖毒品依赖的妇女侵犯的危害的危害官员的影响，将其危害范围排除在外，并有效地将其置于危险中。
