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16届成瘾夏季学院年会，该年会由麦克德莫特中心(Dba Haymarket Center)主办，将于2010年6月16日至18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大约400名社区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15-20名演讲者。该计划将包括六个主题演讲和至少18个较小的分组，讨论有效的基于证据的做法和实施战略，包括创伤、应急管理、康复指导、双重诊断等。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。 公共卫生相关性：这项申请的健康相关性是，会议将集中讨论治疗酒精和化学依赖的最有效的循证做法，酒精和化学依赖是美国的一个主要健康问题。会议将向最有能力实施这些做法的社区药物滥用治疗提供者传播循证做法，从而帮助弥合研究和实践之间的差距，提高药物滥用治疗的质量和国家的公共卫生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the 16th Annual Summer Institute on Addictions, an annual conference sponsored by McDermott Center (dba Haymarket Center), to be held in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois June 16-18, 2010. 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 15-20 speakers in critical areas of evidence-based substance abuse treatment with approximately 400 community-based substance abuse treatment providers. The program will feature six keynote addresses and at least 18 smaller breakout groups on effective evidence based practices and implementation strategies, including trauma, contingency management, recovery coaching, dual diagnosis and others. 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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The health relatedness of this application is that the conference will focus on the most effective evidence based practices for the treatment of alcohol and chemical dependence, a major health problem in the United States. The conference will disseminate evidence-based practices to community-based substance abuse treatment providers who are in the best position to implement these practices thereby helping to bridge the gap between research and practice and improving the quality of substance abuse treatment and the Nation's public health.
