Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Effectiveness: A Review of State Outcome Studies.

摘要

The National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, Inc. (NASADAD) conducted a qualitative Meta-analysis of State outcome studies to determine the effectiveness of alcohol and drug abuse treatment across states primarily as measured by the four effectiveness measures included in the 2000 Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Application (SAPT) and two additional performance indicators. In addition to reviewing and comparing the data from individual studies among treatment effectiveness indicator areas, other relevant variables that impact treatment were identified and reviewed and other related studies were examined. A total of 53 studies in 24 states, mostly completed between 1994 to 1999, were selected for inclusion in the final analysis. This report is divided into four main sections: Introduction and Background, Qualitative Meta-analysis, Results of Analysis of State Outcome Study Data, and Discussion of Treatment Effectiveness. Seven Appendices are attached to the end of this report that provide more detailed documentation of the study effort and the results.
