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70万囚犯重新进入美国社区（Glaze & Bonczar, 2006），有必要对如何设计有效的系统进行组织研究，以持续照顾重新进入的罪犯。肯塔基州为研究重返社会提供了一个理想的环境，因为肯塔基州在囚犯人数（Harrison & Beck, 2006）和假释犯人数（BJS, 2006）的增长方面排名前三。这份延期申请是由肯塔基大学提交的，旨在进一步了解通过继续在CJ-DATS 2的中央州中心重新入学。我们的cj - dats1中心的成功包括：参与了7个协议，超过了任何其他中心的数量；领导唯一一个以女性为中心的协议；开发一个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新进入指南；研究活动，我们的团队产生了26篇论文和16篇报告，以及允许其他CJ-DATS 1研究人员发表的数据。CJ-DATS 1还提供了基础设施，以开展全州范围的结果研究和2个NIDA拨款申请。我们中心的创新愿景将独特地为组织和系统变革的科学知识做出贡献，这些变革是实施和维持基于证据的干预措施所必需的（APA, 2006），涉及在不同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组织变革的理论框架，以实现中心的愿景和我们的3个研究概念。本申请提出了4个已建立的合作伙伴丰富的中心委员会：(1)计划，(2)实施，(3)收集/分析数据，(4)与我们的中心指导委员会和国家CJ-DATS 2指导委员会一起开发出版物。承诺书包括我们州的惩教专员、药物滥用主管、公共卫生专员、州药物滥用官员、公共安全官员和支持我们创新愿景以及农村和城市利益的治疗组织。

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.
