Haymarket Center's Summer Institute on Addictions

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求为第15届年度夏季成瘾研究所提供部分支持，这是由麦克德莫特中心（dba Haymarket Center）主办的年度会议，将于2009年6月9日至11日在伊利诺伊州奥克布鲁克Terrace举行。该项目的广泛和长期目标是，通过传播循证做法的知识，帮助弥合美国药物滥用协会资助的研究与基于社区的药物滥用治疗实践之间的差距，从而提高药物滥用治疗的质量。为期三天的会议的具体目标是召集15名在循证药物滥用治疗关键领域的发言者，与大约500名以社区为基础的药物滥用治疗提供者会面。该项目将有6个主题演讲和18个小型分组讨论，内容包括有效的循证实践、实施战略、与社区治疗机构建立研究伙伴关系、康复管理、绩效指标和结果监测。该申请的意义在于，会议将在研究界和以社区为基础的药物滥用治疗提供者之间举行。从历史上看，以社区为基础的药物滥用治疗是与医疗和心理健康领域分开产生的，在实施基于科学和研究的治疗方面落后。这种情况迫切需要建立诸如本次会议这样的机制，以便传播基于临床实践的研究。该应用程序与健康的关系是，会议传播针对酒精和化学品依赖（美国的一个主要健康问题）的最有效的基于研究的治疗方法，目标是将其纳入主流社区治疗。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the 15th Annual Summer Institute on Addictions, an annual conference sponsored by McDermott Center (dba Haymarket Center), to be held in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois June 9-11, 2009. The broad and long-range goal of the project is to improve the quality of substance abuse treatment by helping to bridge the gap between NIDA funded research and practice of community based substance abuse treatment through knowledge dissemination of evidence-based practices. The specific aim of the three-day conference is to convene 15 speakers in critical areas of evidence-based substance abuse treatment with approximately 500 community-based substance abuse treatment providers. The program will feature six keynote addresses and 18 smaller breakout groups on effective evidence based practices, implementation strategies, forging research partnerships with community based treatment agencies, recovery management, performance indicators and outcome monitoring. The significance of the application is that the conference will take place between the research community and providers of community based substance abuse treatment. Historically, community based substance abuse treatment arose separate from the medical and mental health fields and has lagged in implementing science- and research-based treatments. This situation has created an urgent need for mechanisms such as this conference where dissemination of research based clinical practices can take place. The health relatedness of the application is that the conference disseminates the most effective research-based treatments for alcohol and chemical dependence (a major health problem in the Unites States) with the goal of their implementation into mainstream community based treatment.
