This data collection consists of four datasets from three\r\nsites. The FOD program was first established in Birmingham, Alabama,\r\nand Phoenix, Arizona, in December 1988 and ran through August\r\n1990. The Chicago, Illinois, program began in October 1990 and ended\r\nin March 1992. These first three programs studied probationers with a\r\nhistory of recent drug use who were not incarcerated while awaiting\r\nsentencing. The subjects were assessed with one of two different\r\ntreatment instruments. Half of all clients were assessed with the\r\nobjective Offender Profile Index (OPI) created by the National\r\nAssociation of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD). The\r\nother half were assessed with the local instrument administered in\r\neach site by Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime (TASC),\r\nInc. Regardless of which assessment procedure was used, offenders were\r\nthen randomly assigned to one of two groups. Half of all offenders\r\nassessed by the OPI and half of the offenders assessed by the local\r\ninstrument were assigned to a control group that received only random\r\nurinalysis monitoring regardless of the drug treatment intervention\r\nstrategy prescribed by the assessment instrument. The other half of\r\noffenders in each assessment group were assigned to a treatment group\r\nthat received appropriate drug intervention treatment. The Phoenix\r\npilot study (Part 4), which ran from March 1991 to May 1992, was\r\ndesigned like the first Phoenix study, except that the sample for the\r\npilot study was drawn from convicted felons who were jailed prior to\r\nsentencing and who were expected to be sentenced to probation. These\r\ndata contain administrative information, such as current offense,\r\nnumber of arrests, number of convictions, and prior charges. The need\r\nassessment instruments were used to gather data on clients' living\r\narrangements, educational and vocational backgrounds, friendships,\r\nhistory of mental problems, drug use history, and scores measuring\r\nstakes in conformity. In addition, the study specifically collected\r\ninformation on the monitoring of the clients while in the FOD program,\r\nincluding the number of urinalyses administered and their results, as\r\nwell as the placement of clients in treatment programs. The files also\r\ncontain demographic information, such as age, race, sex, and\r\neducation.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06214.v1", "title": "Evaluation of the Focused Offender Disposition Program in Birmingham, Phoenix, and Chicago, 1988-1992"}], "identifier": "3203", "issued": "1999-02-25T00:00:00", "keyword": ["criminal justice system", "drug offenders", "drug testing", "drug treatment", "needs assessment", "probationers", "program evaluation", "treatment programs", "urinalysis"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Evaluation of the Focused Offender Disposition Program in Birmingham, Phoenix, and Chicago, 1988-1992"}
