Washington Circle Performance Measures and Criminal Justice Outcomes

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿圈绩效指标和刑事司法结果Garnick，D.W.摘要这是一个重新提交的应用程序的基础上进行的R21补助金从NIAAA（补助金#R21 AA 14229）检查华盛顿圈（WC）的性能指标和结果之间的关联在俄克拉荷马州和探索在其他州进行类似的分析的可行性之前的工作。在本申请中，我们计划通过进一步进行客户层面的分析来扩展该研究，重点是WC过程措施，针对其他客户人群（增加戒毒和住院/住院服务后护理连续性的措施），同时控制设施层面和社区层面的因素。与另外五个州（MA，CT，NC，WA和NY）沿着与俄克拉荷马州的最新数据合作，具体目标是：1）评估客户成就华盛顿圈AOD绩效指标与刑事司法参与，就业和药物使用的后续结果之间的关系。我们将采用WC公共部门工作组指定的措施：门诊治疗后的启动和参与，戒毒后的持续治疗，以及从住院/住院治疗出院后的持续治疗。我们将检查他们的预测有效性方面：（1）刑事司法参与（例如，任何逮捕、重罪逮捕、任何定罪、重罪定罪和监禁，（2）出院时的就业和（3）出院时的物质使用。2)检查调节差异-性别，种族/民族和年龄-在WC AOD性能指标和随后的结果之间的关系。我们将探讨WC绩效指标的预测有效性是否因客户亚组而异，包括亚组之间的相互作用，例如，年轻的黑人男性3)检查是否以前的刑事司法参与温和WC AOD性能指标和随后的刑事司法结果之间的关系。建立WC过程测量的预测有效性是持续评估其作为测量质量工具的适用性和可接受性的关键步骤。在规划质量改进活动时，各州和提供者必须了解治疗的启动、参与和持续性是否与关键结果有关。 公共卫生相关性：项目相关性。建立WC过程测量的预测有效性是持续评估其作为测量质量工具的适用性和可接受性的关键步骤。在规划质量改进活动时，各州和提供者必须了解治疗的启动、参与和持续性是否与关键结果有关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Washington Circle Performance Measures and Criminal Justice Outcomes Garnick, D.W. Abstract This is a resubmission of an application building on previous work conducted under an R21 grant from NIAAA (Grant #R21 AA14229) examining the association between Washington Circle (WC) performance measures and outcomes in Oklahoma and exploring the feasibility of conducting similar analyses in other states. In this application, we plan to extend that research by conducting further client-level analyses, focused on WC process measures, for additional client populations (adding measures of continuity of care after detoxification and residential/inpatient services) while controlling for facility level and community level factors. Collaborating with five additional states (MA, CT, NC, WA, and NY) along with Oklahoma's more recent data, the specific aims are to: 1) Evaluate the relationship between client achievement of Washington Circle AOD performance measures and subsequent outcomes regarding criminal justice involvement, employment, and substance use. We will use measures specified by the WC Public Sector Workgroup: initiation and engagement after outpatient treatment, continuity of treatment after detoxification, and continuity of treatment after discharge from residential/inpatient treatment. We will examine their predictive validity with respect to: (1) criminal justice involvement (e.g., any arrest, felony arrest, any conviction, felony conviction, and incarceration, (2) employment at discharge and (3) substance use at discharge. 2) Examine moderating differences - by gender, race/ethnicity and age -- in the relationship between WC AOD performance measures and subsequent outcomes. We will explore whether the predictive validity of the WC performance measures differ by client subgroups, including interactions among the subgroups, e.g., younger Black males. 3) Examine whether prior criminal justice involvement moderates the relationship between WC AOD performance measures and subsequent criminal justice outcomes. Establishing the predictive validity of the WC process measures is a key step in ongoing assessments of their suitability and acceptability as tools for measuring quality. In planning quality improvement activities, it is vitally important for states and providers to understand whether initiation, engagement and continuity of treatment are linked to key outcomes.
