Bethesda North Marriott Hotel Conference Center
NIDA Organizer(s): Meeting Purpose and Intent:The meeting had two goals:
Although the meeting focused on the need for, feasibility of, and best way to accomplish research on using financing and payment mechanisms to enhance the quality of the services provided by the substance abuse prevention and treatment delivery systems, other subjects related to the implementation of evidenced-based practices were also discussed. Meeting Outcome:Dr. Wilson Compton, Director of NIDA's Division of Epidemiology, Services, and Prevention Research (DESPR) welcomed participants to this meeting. State principal investigators (PIs) and research project directors (PDs) provided brief progress reports on their studies, followed by an open forum to discuss lessons learned so far from the program. Participants found that:
There were two plenary sessions. Kenneth D. Stark, M.Ed., MBA, presented how he has successfully used research and data to influence policy and practice in Washington State. Dr. Constance Horgan presented a review of the research literature on the effects of purchasing mechanisms designed to promote quality in the broader health care and other sectors. Sessions were held on three topics: Financing evidence-based practices, pay for performance, and pre-planning for sustainability of evidence-based programs. In each case prevention and treatment researchers presented the relevant research in their respective fields and provided their ideas for future research. These ideas were discussed first by Single State Agency prevention and treatment representatives and then by the entire group. Finally, State representatives and associated researchers presented concepts for future research and received feedback on their ideas, possible designs, and existing research in their topic areas.
