Implementing Evidence-Based Drug Treatment in Criminal Justice Settings

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请提出了一个邀请会议，以解决刑事司法系统（CJS）中药物治疗中识别、实施、传播和维持循证实践（EBP）的当前问题。为期1.5天的会议将在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行，由位于治疗研究所的基于证据的犯罪和成瘾干预中心（CEICA）指导。会议将汇集70名经过挑选的、多样化的研究人员、从业人员和政策制定者。本研究的总体目标是确定并揭示为毒品犯罪者提供有效循证治疗的独特挑战，并探索临床实践视角如何为EBP的确定和成功实施提供信息。会议将包括全体会议、有针对性的讨论、讲习班和制定行动计划。预计的成果包括会议记录摘要、期刊特刊、CEICA联合主任撰写的关于CJ药物治疗EBP的综述文章、目标工作组的形成以及两次后续网络会议，以讨论会议结果和下一步措施。会议的内容和方向将在一定程度上以CEICA的重点为指导，即结合从业者和客户的观点来理解EBP的实施和可持续性，以及CEICA与三个国家从业者组织合作开发几个循证审查项目的经验。12个会议研讨会（每次1.25 ~ 1.5小时）将在6个时间段内举行。主题包括建立EBP标准，传播/培训问题，扩散和可持续性，临床试验与临床实践，消费者观点，定义结果，治疗/公共卫生与CJS观点，有针对性的干预措施，以及CJS的疗效与有效性。在每个研讨会中，一名主要演讲者和两名次要演讲者将包括一名研究人员、实践者和政策制定者。前罪犯和正在康复的人也将派代表出席每个讲习班，以便将客户的观点纳入所有讨论。与会者将被随机分配到每个研讨会，以确保研究人员、从业人员和决策者的人数相等。本次会议的一个独特方面是CJ治疗利益相关者积极参与与研究人员的讨论，重点是在CJS中实施和整合EBP治疗的挑战。因此，利益相关者将更好地理解EBP并在实践中发起变革，并且可以确定新的研究需求，以解决CJ治疗EBP及其传播和可持续性方面的差距。全体会议和“总结”会议将以城镇会议的形式举行，重点是提炼讲习班讨论中产生的关键共识问题，并最大限度地提高与会者的投入。TRI在规划和管理有针对性的会议方面的经验，其备受推崇的网站，以及已展示的出版生产力，将有助于确保会议的成功实施，以及会议后的影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes a by-invitation conference to address current issues in identifying, implementing, disseminating, and sustaining evidence-based practice (EBP) in drug treatment in the criminal justice system (CJS). The 1.5 day conference will be held in Philadelphia, PA under the direction of the Center on Evidence-based Interventions for Crime and Addiction (CEICA), housed at the Treatment Research Institute. The conference will bring together a selected and diverse group of 70 researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. The overall goals are to identify and inform the unique challenges for expanding access to effective evidence-based treatment for drug-involved offenders, and to explore how the clinical practice perspective can inform the identification and successful implementation of EBP. The conference will include plenary sessions, targeted discussions, workshops, and action plan development. Anticipated products include a summary of conference proceedings, a special journal issue, a review article on EBP for CJ drug treatment by the CEICA co-directors, the formation of targeted work groups, and two follow-up web conferencing meetings to discuss conference findings and next steps. The content and direction of the conference will be guided in part by CEICA's focus on incorporating practitioner and client perspectives for understanding EBP implementation and sustainability, and CEICA's experiences in developing several evidence-based review projects in collaboration with three national practitioner organizations. The 12 conference workshops (1.25-1.5 hours each) will be convened in six time slots. Topics include establishing criteria for EBP, dissemination/training issues, diffusion and sustainability, clinical trials vs. clinical practice, the consumer perspective, defining outcomes, treatment/public health vs. CJS perspectives, targeted interventions, and efficacy vs. effectiveness in the CJS. In each workshop, a primary presenter and two secondary presenters will include a researcher, practitioner, and policy maker. Ex-offenders and persons in recovery will also be represented at each workshop so that the client perspective is integrated into all discussions. Participants will be randomly assigned to each workshop to ensure equal numbers of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. A unique aspect of this conference is the active engagement of CJ treatment stakeholders in discussion with researchers, focusing on the challenges of implementing and integrating EBP treatment in the CJS. As a result, stakeholders will be better positioned to understand EBP and initiate changes in practice, and new research needs can be identified to address gaps in CJ treatment EBP and its dissemination and sustainability. Plenary and "wrap-up" sessions will be conducted in a town meeting format that will focus on distilling the key consensus issues that arise from the workshop discussions, and maximize participant input. TRI's experience in planning and administering targeted conferences, its highly regarded website, and demonstrated publication productivity will help ensure successful implementation, as well as post-conference impact.
