Inmates are referred to this program if\r\nthey have an identified need for residential-level substance abuse\r\ntreatment and are within 12 months of release consideration. TOW is a\r\nvoluntary, six-month long program that works with inmates to identify\r\nthe causes of their addictive behaviors and encourage changes in\r\nunacceptable behaviors and criminal thinking. The sample for this study\r\nconsists of adult male inmates at the Clarinda Correctional Facility\r\nbetween January 1998 and March 1999. The first point of data collection\r\nwas the intake assessment. At intake, each subject completed an intake\r\npacket consisting of several instruments that measured variables\r\nrelevant to TOW program goals. Each inmate was also given an Addiction\r\nSeverity Index (ASI) interview by a counselor at intake. Upon discharge\r\nfrom the program, each subject completed a discharge packet, which\r\ncontained instruments slightly different from those in the intake\r\npacket. Instruments were chosen for reliability and validity, ease of\r\nadministration, potential for dual clinical and evaluation use, and\r\nwhether they duplicated any existing efforts. Versions of the following\r\ninstruments were included in both the intake and discharge packets: the\r\nColorado Cognitive Assessment Questionnaire, Circumstances, Motivation,\r\nand Readiness (CMR) Scales for Substance Abuse Treatment, the Social\r\nProvisions Scale (SPS), the Self-Help Questionnaire, and the STEPS\r\nQuestionnaire. A consumer satisfaction survey was also administered at\r\nthe discharge interview. Variables obtained from answers to the ASI\r\ninclude gender, living situation, date of birth, race, religion, length\r\nof incarceration, medical status, education and employment history,\r\nsources of financial support, family/social relationships including\r\nabuse history, psychiatric status, drug and alcohol use including kinds\r\nof drugs used, length of use, age at first use, and frequency of use for\r\neach drug, personal problems caused by drug use, drug treatment history,\r\nlegal history, and family history of drug, alcohol, and psychological\r\nproblems. Intake assessment variables included are related to social\r\nattitudes, and include variables on life goals and the subjects' own\r\nviews of their achievability, how subjects thought their friends viewed\r\nthem, how wrong subjects thought certain illegal acts were, and\r\ncriminal acts by the subjects' friends in the past six months. Discharge\r\npacket variables include the same variables on social attitudes as the\r\nintake packet as well as variables obtained from answers to the SPS\r\nrelating to the amount of social support subjects felt they had, past\r\ninvolvement with self-help groups, and life attitudes related to\r\ndrug/alcohol use.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03011.v1", "title": "Evaluation of the Iowa State Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program, 1998-1999"}], "identifier": "3818", "issued": "2003-04-11T00:00:00", "keyword": ["correctional facilities", "inmate attitudes", "inmates", "program evaluation", "residential programs", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2003-04-11T00:00:00", "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 Iowa State Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program, 1998-1999"}
