(2) Did the program result in reduced\r\nrecidivism, abstinence from drug and alcohol use, and reduced costs of\r\nincarceration? (3) Did the referral process identify the targeted\r\npopulation? (4) Would the SICI RSAT data, management, staffing, and\r\ndesign be suitably established within two years to allow for a full\r\noutcome evaluation? (5) Were there communication issues among the\r\nIDOC, Parole Commission, and contract providers that might interfere\r\nwith program implementation and delivery? and (6) Were there any\r\ncooperative remedies that had been, or might be developed to address\r\nimplementation and delivery difficulties? Researchers conducted field\r\nobservations (Part 1, Observational Data) of program delivery by\r\nprogram leaders using both the Cognitive Change Program Module and the\r\nMinnesota Model-Based Chemical Dependency Treatment Modules in each of\r\nthe three phases of the therapeutic community environment. Researchers\r\nadministered questionnaires to inmates (Part 2, Inmate Interview Data)\r\nand staff (Part 3, Staff Interview Data) regarding their perceptions\r\nof program operations. Variables for Part 1 include the date and time\r\nof observation, nature of observation, clarity, organization, and\r\nsubstance of program delivery, the program leader's involvement and\r\nthe quality of that involvement with inmates, how prepared the program\r\nleader was, and the general therapeutic atmosphere of the\r\nprogram. Demographic variables for Part 2 include the race, age,\r\nethnicity, and level of education of each inmate. Other variables\r\ninclude use of alcohol and illegal drugs prior to incarceration,\r\ninmates' perceptions of the treatment personnel, their levels of\r\ninvolvement with the group meetings and cognitive self-change groups,\r\nthe atmosphere of therapy, ratings of communication and delivery of\r\ntreatment, quality of service, and the strengths and weaknesses of the\r\nRSAT program. Variables for Part 3 include staff's perceptions of the\r\nRSAT program and whether they felt the program content and delivery\r\nwere well organized and easy to understand, perceptions of the program\r\nleader's preparation and involvement, perceptions of communication and\r\nconsistency issues, the quality of service, and the strengths and\r\nweaknesses of the RSAT program.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03153.v1", "title": "Process Evaluation of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program at the South Idaho Correctional Institution, 1999-2000"}], "identifier": "3030", "issued": "2003-04-11T00:00:00", "keyword": ["correctional facilities", "drug treatment", "process evaluation", "residential programs", "substance abuse", "substance abuse treatment", "treatment facilities", "treatment outcomes", "treatment programs"], "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}}, "title": "Process Evaluation of the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Program at the South Idaho Correctional Institution, 1999-2000"}
