Project Summary:
This project is part of the National Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Research Studies (CJ-DATS), supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and collaborating Federal partners (CDC, CSAT, BOP, NIC, BJA, NIJ). The overall objective of CJ-DATS was to improve outcomes for criminal justice involved individuals with drug abuse problems or addictive disorders by enhancing the integration of drug abuse treatment with other public health and safety systems. Studies included research on alternative treatment approaches, treatment and recovery processes, and how the organizations or agencies that deal with drug-disordered criminal justice-involved individuals can improve their interaction to achieve better public health, public safety, and individual outcomes.
CDAS participated in several CJ-DATS sponsored studies:
- CJDATS: Targeted HIV/Hepatitis Intervention for Reentering Offenders
- CJDATS: "Step'n Out" Collaborative Behavioral Management
- A Comparison of Two Reentry Strategies for Drug Abusing Juvenile Offenders
- CJDATS: Target Interventions for Corrections (TIC)
- CJDATS: National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices Survey (NCJTP)
- CJDATS: Performance Indicators for Corrections (PIC)
