Integrating Behavioral Interventions in Substance Abuse Treatment
This project sought to foster more effective provision of therapeutic services to substance-using treatment-seekers in our communities. This mentored early career development award funded professional development activities and a sequence of three pilot research studies conducted over a 5-year period. The award’s overarching aim was development of a model of integrated clinical use of motivational interviewing and contingency management in opiate agonist treatment (OAT) settings. Professional development activities included advanced biostatistics coursework, supervised literature reviews with content experts, multi-regional site visits to community OAT clinics, attendance and provision of intervention training workshops for treatment providers, and facilitation of panel discussions among award contributors concerning model development.
Award contributors are Dennis Donovan, Ph.D. (co-mentor), Don Calsyn, Ph.D. (co-mentor), John Roll, Ph.D. (CM content expert), Steve Lash, Ph.D. (CM content expert), David Rosengren, Ph.D. (MI content expert), Blair Beadnell, Ph.D. (biostatistician), and Ron Jackson, M.S.W. (OAT field expert).
