THE COD Survey is an extension of the National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices survey (NCJTP) and is being undertaken to increase our knowledge concerning service delivery and organizational practices for offenders with co-occurring disorders in the criminal justice system. The sample will consist of wardens/directors of prisons and jails; administrators in charge for probation and parole offices; and directors of outpatient substance abuse treatment programs that treat criminal justice clients (a total of 1046 adult and juvenile facilities) previously included in the NCJTP. The survey will consist of a self-administered questionnaire consisting of fewer than 40 questions. At the completion of the study, the researchers will be able to:

  • Describe the services available to offenders evincing co-occurring substance use and mental disorders.
  • Depict the organizational practices of the agencies that provide services to offenders with co-occurring disorders.
  • Explain the relationship between organizational practices and the provision of services for offenders with co-occurring disorders.
