Implementing and Sustaining Innovations in Criminal Justice-DATS 2 (TCU RC)

我们的合作调查员来自德克萨斯州刑事司法部和伊利诺伊州惩教部，以及5个州刑事司法系统的额外网络（AZ、IN、NE、NM和VA）、联邦BOP和4家提供CJ合同治疗服务的大型机构（网关基金会，Westcare，CEC/CiviGenics和凤凰之家），德克萨斯基督教大学（TCU）建议继续我们的CJ-DATS研究中心在CJ-DATS 2。我们在治疗评估领域拥有超过35年的经验，包括CJ系统的研究，我们在国家和多地点项目方面的资格包括制定测量策略和“公共领域”工具和干预措施，评估治疗过程和结果，评估与变化有关的组织结构和气候，进行成本分析，以及开发和测试时序数据中动态关系的综合模型。在过去的5年里，我们与NIDA和其他研究中心在最初的CJ-DATS中密切有效地合作，建立了一个管理和决策系统，包括基于任务的委员会和指导我们科学成就的通信协议。 我们提出的研究概念包括3项实施研究，并认识到研究的最终阵容将由NIDA和合作社的指导委员会根据所有研究人员，特别是CJ合作者的意见确定。这些概念包括：1）测试策略，以实施和维持在最初的CJ-DATS期间建立的筛查和评估工具，2）检查基于证据的CJ-DATS干预措施的实施情况，这些干预措施是集体设计的，以解决第一项研究中评估所确定的风险和需求，以及3）实施全面的艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险评估，并提供一系列降低风险的方法。第二和第三个概念的一个不可分割的实施组成部分涉及确定如何将这些干预措施最佳地与个人治疗计划的制定和修订联系起来。由于犯罪者之间的酒精使用的流行和它与犯罪和缓刑和假释技术违规的关联，我们提出了额外的核心客户端摄入量的酒精使用的数量和频率的措施，以及酒精政策，服务和态度的评估时，检查工作人员和组织对罪犯酒精使用。 我们的经验和CJ治疗系统的大型网络为CJ-DATS 2提供了卓越的能力，可以评估三个指定领域（即，实施筛查和评估，实施干预措施，以及制定艾滋病毒和其他传染病的连续护理）。

With our Co-Investigators from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Illinois Department of Corrections, and an additional network of 5 State criminal justice systems (AZ, IN, NE, NM, & VA), the Federal BOP, and 4 large agencies that provide CJ contract treatment services (Gateway Foundation, Westcare, CEC/CiviGenics, and Phoenix House), Texas Christian University (TCU) proposes to continue our CJ-DATS Research Center in CJ-DATS 2. With over 35 years experience in the treatment evaluation field, including studies of CJ systems, our qualifications in relation to national and multisite projects include developing measurement strategies and "public domain" instruments and interventions, evaluating treatment process and outcomes, assessing organizational structure and climate that relate to change, conducting cost analyses, and developing and testing integrative models of dynamic relationships in time sequenced data. For the past 5 years, we have worked closely and effectively with NIDA and the other Research Centers in the initial CJ-DATS to establish an administrative and decision-making system involving task-based committees and communication protocols that guide our scientific accomplishments. Our proposed research concepts include 3 implementation studies with the recognition that the final lineup of studies will be determined by NIDA and the Cooperative's Steering Committee with input from all investigators, particularly CJ collaborators. The concepts include: 1) testing strategies to implement and sustain screening and assessment tools established during the initial CJ-DATS, 2) examining the implementation of evidence-based CJ-DATS interventions that are collectively designed to address risks and needs identified by assessments included in the first study, and 3) implementing a comprehensive HIV/AIDS risk assessment and providing a continuum of risk-reduction approaches. An integral implementation component of the second and third concepts involves determining how these interventions are optimally tied into the development and revision of personal treatment plans. Because of the prevalence of alcohol use among offenders and its association with crime and probation and parole technical violations, we propose additional core client intake measures of quantity and frequency of alcohol use, as well as assessments of alcohol policies, services, and attitudes toward offender alcohol use when examining staff and organizations. Our experience and large network of CJ treatment systems offers CJ-DATS 2 an outstanding capacity to assess the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based practices within each of three designated areas (i.e., implementation of screening and assessment, implementation of an intervention, and the development of an HIV and other infectious diseases continuum of care).
