Given the limited availability of treatment for offenders with substance abuse problems, correctional systems need to optimize the benefits from their treatment programs and determine which components are having the greatest impact on psychological, cognitive, and behavioral change. Research indicates that assessments can help correctional systems monitor and document client changes during treatment, providing the foundations for meeting needs in evaluating and managing services. The objectives for this study are to evaluate the TCU Criminal Justice Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment (CJ-CEST) and NDRI Client Assessment Inventory (CAI) for use in diverse correctional settings. Specific aims are to develop and establish methodological evidence in relation to evaluating:
-
Client functioning and treatment engagement;
-
Client responses to treatment interventions;
-
Strategies for monitoring needs and performance over time, and program functioning and organizational change. |
