Central States Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Center

描述(由申请人提供)：83%的州囚犯报告吸毒(Mumola&Karberg，2006)，每年有700,000名囚犯重新进入美国社区(Glaze&Bonczar，2006)，因此有必要对如何设计有效的持续照顾重新进入社区的罪犯的系统进行组织研究。肯塔基州为研究重新入狱提供了一个理想的环境，因为肯塔基州在囚犯数量(哈里森和贝克，2006)和假释者数量(BJS，2006)的增加方面排名前三。这份延续申请是由肯塔基大学提交的，目的是通过在CJ-DATS 2中继续中部各州中心来进一步了解重返大气层。我们的CJ-DATS 1中心的成功包括：参与了7项协议，这超过了任何其他中心的数量；领导了唯一以妇女为重点的协议；开发了真正以利益相关者为中心的基础设施，从而产生了创新的肯塔基州重返大气层指南；研究活动产生了26篇手稿和我们团队的16份演示文稿，以及允许其他CJ-DATS 1研究人员发表的数据。CJ-DATS 1还提供了编制全州成果研究和2项NIDA赠款申请的基础设施。我们中心的创新愿景将独特地促进关于实施和维持循证干预措施所需的组织和系统变化的科学知识(APA，2006)，在不同的刑事司法和社区组织环境中重新进入的连续护理。我们的概念方法借鉴了精选的组织变革理论框架，以实现中心的愿景和我们的三个研究概念。本申请提出了4个已建立的合作伙伴中心委员会：(1)计划、(2)实施、(3)收集/分析数据和(4)与我们的中心指导委员会和国家CJ-DATS 2指导委员会合作开发出版物。承诺书包括我们各州的惩教专员、药物滥用总监、公共卫生专员、州药物滥用官员、公共安全官员和治疗组织，他们支持我们的创新愿景以及我们的农村和城市利益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With 83% of state prisoners reporting drug use (Mumola & Karberg, 2006) and 700,000 prisoners re-entering U.S. communities annually (Glaze & Bonczar, 2006), there is a need for organizational studies on how to design effective systems of continuous care for re-entering offenders. Kentucky provides an ideal setting to study re-entry because Kentucky is ranked in the top 3 states for increases in'the number inmates (Harrison & Beck, 2006) as well as the number of parolees (BJS, 2006). This continuation application is submitted by the University of Kentucky to further understand re-entry by continuing the Central States Center in CJ-DATS 2. Our CJ-DATS 1 Center successes include: Involvement in 7 protocols which exceeded the number by any other Center; Leading the only woman-focused protocol; Developing a true stakeholder-centered infrastructure which resulted in the innovative Kentucky Re-Entry Guidelines; Research activities which produced 26 manuscripts and 16 presentations by our team as well as data to allow other CJ-DATS 1 researchers to publish. CJ-DATS 1 also provided the infrastructure to develop a statewide outcome study and 2 NIDA grant applications. Our Center's innovative vision will uniquely contribute to the scientific knowledge on the organizational and system changes necessary to implement and sustain evidence-based interventions (APA, 2006) across a continuum of care at re-entry in diverse criminal justice and community organizational settings. Our conceptual approach draws upon selected theoretical frameworks of organizational change to implement the Center's vision and our 3 Research Concepts. This application presents 4 established partner-rich Center Committees to: (1) Plan, (2) Implement, (3) Collect/Analyze Data and (4) Develop Publications in concert with our Center Steering Committee and the national CJ-DATS 2 Steering Committee. Letters of commitment include our states' Corrections Commissioner, Director of Substance Abuse, Commissioner of Public Health, state substance abuse officials, public safety officials, and treatment organizations which support our innovative vision as well as our rural and urban interests.
