| Popis: | In 1999, the National Institute on Drug Abuse established a researcher/provider partnership designed to test the effectiveness of research-based innovations in community-based treatment settings and facilitate the transfer of those innovations throughout the national treatment system. As a preliminary step in developing their local Clinical Trials Network, researchers and treatment providers within the Delaware Valley Node surveyed 317 staff members concerning their beliefs about addiction treatment. More than 80% of respondents supported increased use of research-based innovations, 12-step/traditional approaches, and spirituality in addiction treatment, while only 39% and 34%, respectively, endorsed the increased use of naltrexone and methadone maintenance. Also, 35% of respondents indicated that confrontation should be used more, and 46% agreed with discharging noncompliant patients. Individuals with more formal training tended to be less supportive of confrontation and more supportive of the increased use of medications. Implications for the clinical trials and technology transfer are discussed. |
