NIDA Project Promoting Entry into
Treatment - A Services Enhancement
The main objectives of this proposal are;1) to contrast a
psychotherapeutic intervention designed to encourage heroin
dependent patients to enter long term treatment after
discharge from detoxification and a video resource
intervention designed for the same purpose, with drug
counseling as usual; and 2) to predict which patients will
enter long term treatment, utilizing a modification of the
Health Belief Model as a theoretical basis.

CMHS Grant
Employment Intervention for People with SMI
This
project, which is being carried out in Worcester,
Massachusetts, is designed to determine the relative
effectiveness of two models of community rehabilitation with
strong vocational components, e.g., the Program of Assertive
Community Treatment and the Clubhouse model. This is the first
experimental comparison of the Clubhouse model with the model
of Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT); both
models have been extensively used throughout the US and
internationally. Extensive involvement of mental health
consumers is included in the design. Eligible participants in
each site, who have never participated in either model, are
being randomly assigned to either a Program of Assertive
Community Treatment or the Clubhouse model. Each of the
programs in the study will be provided with staff training in
each of their respective models. An extensive battery of
clinical, social, and employment outcome measures will be
used.

NIAAA Project
Cognitive Behavioral Risk Reduction Treatment
The primary aim of this research is to develop and test the
efficacy of a cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for the
co-occurrence of alcohol use disorders (AUD) and sexual-risk
taking behaviors among men-who-have-sex-with men. This
research will build on empirical research demonstrating the
effectiveness of current CBT for AUD and HIV prevention, and
recommended strategies to improve CBT by providing more
individualized and broad focused interventions.

NIAAA Project
Applying Treatment Research Technologies in New Settings
Despite dramatic progress in treatment research, most
alcoholics are treated "with tools and techniques
developed over 50 years ago" (Gordis, 1991 pg.-173). The
task of increasing knowledge transfer has been given high
priority by NIAAA, but efforts have met with mixed success, at
least as regards directly influencing real-world treatment
practices.

NIDA Project Impact Evaluation of the
DTAP Diversion Program
This study will assess “effectiveness” (in this context,
effective means that diversion is less costly than
incarceration and results in lower recidivism rates for
participants) of the DTAP Diversion Program by using a
quasi-experimental design to compare the post-treatment
outcomes of program participants (n=150) with a matched set of
offenders (n=150) who received prison sentences. Subjects will
be interviewed at six- and twelve-month intervals after
completion of treatment or release from prison. Criminal
recidivism, drug use, employment and other measures of social
adjustment will be used to assess differences between the two
groups. The study will also include a cost-benefit analysis,
comparing the costs of screening and placement of defendants
in treatment to the costs of prosecution, conviction and
incarceration otherwise incurred. This analysis will also take
into account the economic benefits derived from decreased drug
use, such as lower crime and victimization costs and increased
participation in legitimate economic activities. The third
component of the study will examine the unique effects of
legal coercion on treatment retention.

Project Opiate Dependence - Combined Naltrexone/Behavior
Therapy
The goal of this proposal is to develop a behavioral therapy
to be used in conjunction with naltrexone maintenance for the
treatment of heroin addiction. Specific aims over the three
year proposal are 1) to develop a preliminary treatment manual
for the combination of behavior therapy and naltrexone through
completion of 20 patients through treatment in an uncontrolled
pilot trial; 2) to explore the effectiveness and patient
acceptability of the combination of behavior therapy and
naltrexone through a randomized pilot trial with an
attentional control. Based on the outcome of this trial, the
therapy and manual will be refined and readied for
larger-scale trials.

Project Behavioral Therapy for Depression in Drug Dependence
We propose a Stage I development project to design and pilot test a Behavioral Therapy for Depression in Drug
Dependence (BTDD) that is based on a behavioral model of
depression. The primary goals of BTDD are to decrease
depressive symptomalogy by increasing the frequency of
response-contingent positive reinforcement and to build a base
of behaviors that can compete with illicit substance use.

NIAAA Project
Concurrence of Gambling & Substance Use in the US
Gambling opportunities have increased greatly since the 1970s
and there is evidence that gambling and pathological gambling
are linked to substance use and a complex network of
addicition behaviors, especially alcohol and other drug abuse.
Due to the changing modalities of gambling, special
populations including woman, young adults, minorities, and the
elderly may be at increaded risk for problems associated with
gambling and substance abuse. The specific aims are to study
the correlaion of gambling behavior and substance abuse, to
examine the common predictors of gambling behavior and
substance abuse, to determine the prevalence of pathologiacl
gambling and gambling behaviors among various demographic
groups, to determine the chronological trend in gambling
behaviors and pathological gambling, to study the relationship
of gambling and substance abuse to ecological factors, and
neighborhood sub-culture, and to investigate the effect of the
availability factors such as state gambling laws and distance
from tracks or casinos on actual gambling behaviors.
