CMHS Grant State Performance Indicator Pilot
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) has made substantial progress in the past three years in implementing performance management approaches for the monitoring of publicly funded mental health services. Considerable performance management infrastructure and experience in the collection, analysis, reporting and use of performance data has been a result of various initiatives including establishing a Bureau of Performance and Outcomes Management, designing performance management system for inpatient services, and designing performance management systems for Medicaid mental health Special Needs Plans for adults and children. In the proposed project, the Five State Feasibility Study performance indicators will be pilot tested in the inpatient and outpatient systems, new mechanisms for systematically collecting and reporting outcome data will be tested, cultural competency indicators will be piloted, and methodologies in risk adjustment will be refined and applied to improve the sensitivity an usefulness of data for decision making by administrators, providers, and recipients of care.

NIDA Project Alternate Program for Methadone Maintenance Drop Outs
This project will recruit 700 subjects who have recently dropped out of methadone maintenance clinics in East Harlem, NY, after having been in treatment for less than one year. Subjects will randomly be assigned to an Experimental Condition (providing the alternative program) or to a Control Condition (providing passive referrals only). Six and twelve month follow-up interviews (including urinalysis) will be conducted. Multivariate regression techniques will be used to access outcome including frequency and type of drug use and return to traditional treatment.

NIDA Project Cooperative Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study
This application proposes to establish and maintain a Coordinating Center to contribute to the overall Cooperative DATOS goals. This Coordinating Center will have three linked components: a) coordinating cross-site activities; b) conducting follow-up data collection, analysis, and reporting; and c) working with NIDA Collaborating Scientists and Field Research Collaborative Center investigators.

NIDA Project Measuring Treatment Progress in Therapeutic Communities
The major research aim is to conduct an empirical investigation into therapeutic community (TC) treatment process. The research finding from the two proposed pilot studies will provide the empirical basis for a larger planned study to field test treatment progress instruments in several therapeutic community program sites. Results from this field test will be utilized by these programs for treatment planning and assessment.

NIAAA Project Levels of Care & Outcomes in Alcoholism Treatment
There is little research on the feasibility, outcomes and cost-effectiveness of using uniform patient criteria to match the type and intensity of alcoholism treatment to the individual needs of patients. Based on 3 criteria, this study aims to develop recommendations for revising the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) Patient Placement Criteria. The independent and joint effects of pretreatment and treatment process variables (e.g. psychiatric comorbidity, reimbursement mode, stage of recovery, therapeutic alliance, appropriateness of Level of Care, continuity of care, intensity of treatment, specific services) on patient outcomes will be determined in this study. Using treatment cost data and outcome results, a cost-effectiveness analysis of matching and mismatching at different Levels of Care will be conducted.

NIDA Project PTSD Treatment Outcomes for Cocaine Dependent Women
The proposed study aims to examine the efficacy of an enhanced cocaine treatment based on relapse prevention (RPT) which includes a specific manualized component geared towards coping with and reducing PTSD symptomalogy for women with cocaine dependence. The proposed study has the particular advantages of 1) adding the rigorous assessment of DSM-IV PTSD to the study of inner-city cocaine dependent women; and 2) adding a manualized PTSD component to cocaine abuse treatment for these women, which builds directly on the empirical findings of the researcher’s prior work.
