Haymarket Center's Summer Institute on Addictions

描述(由申请者提供)：本提案请求部分支持第15届年度成瘾夏季研究所，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街举行。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NIDA资助的社区药物滥用治疗研究和实践之间的差距，从而提高药物滥用治疗的质量。为期三天的会议的具体目的是召集约500名以社区为基础的药物滥用治疗提供者就以证据为基础的药物滥用治疗的关键领域召集15名发言者。该计划将就有效的循证做法、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等方面进行6次主旨演讲和18个较小的分组讨论。申请的意义在于，会议将在研究界和基于社区的药物滥用治疗提供者之间举行。从历史上看，基于社区的药物滥用治疗独立于医疗和精神健康领域，在实施基于科学和研究的治疗方面一直滞后。这种情况迫切需要像这次会议这样的机制，在这里可以进行基于临床实践的研究的传播。应用程序与健康相关的是，会议传播了酒精和化学依赖(美国的一个主要健康问题)最有效的基于研究的治疗方法，目标是将其落实到主流的基于社区的治疗中。

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.
