    1. Evidence Based Practices in Oregon: An Overview Oregon Department of Human Services Addictions and Mental Health Services (AMH) February, 2009

    3. ORS 182.515-525 Applies to Specific Programs/Services Programs designed to reduce the propensity of a person to commit crimes Improve the mental health of a person with the result of reducing the likelihood that the person will commit a crime or need emergency mental health services Reduce the propensity of a person who is less than 18 years of age to engage in antisocial behavior with the result of reducing the likelihood that the person will become a juvenile offender

    9. 2008 Survey Results Results indicate 54% fund utilization. Most commonly implemented practices are the following: Mental Health: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Substance Use: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Motivational Enhancement Therapy, American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Substance Use Prevention: Strengthening Families Program 10-14, Communities that Care, Project Alert

    13. Provider Strategies to Meet Fidelity

    14. Implementation Phase- Early Identified the practice Outlined the implementation process Established a plan for improvement and sustainability

    15. Implementation Phase- Middle Trained staff in the practice Delivered the practice Completed an internal review and made revisions Had an external review completed and made revisions

    16. Implementation Phase- Late Have regular external reviews and made ongoing revisions Revised sustainability plan Provided technical assistance to others Are identified as a model program for that practice

    20. Does All of This Matter? Does implementing EBPs produce better system outcomes? Are we hitting the intended targets of the legislature under ORS 182.535? - Reduces propensity of a person to commit crimes - Improves mental health of a person with the result of reducing the likelihood that the person will need emergency mental health services - Reduces antisocial behavior and juvenile crime What does this amount to in financial terms?

    21. Example from Prevention Strengthening Families Program 10-14 Savings to society in criminal justice costs related to substance abuse are estimated to be $5805 for each youth who participates in the Strengthening Families Program (Washington State Institute for Public Policy, 2003) To date, investing in the Strengthening Families Program has yielded a net benefit to Oregon of over a million dollars: OREGON’S COST SAVINGS: $1,184,220

    22. Consider Limiting the scope of programs Using the Correctional Program Checklist (CPC) as a standard for serving criminal justice clients Identifying core components and protocols as EBPs Individualizing definitions, criteria and procedures for populations Systems organization, supervision and review processes as EBPs Performance measures and outcomes Investing in a data system

    26. 12 Steps of EBPs Made a list of all the practices that made sense to us and became willing to check at least some of them out. Agreed to learn at least one new thing as long as it didn’t substantially add to our caseloads or paperwork. Continued to work on doing the impossible with no new resources and dreamed of deleting databases when no one was looking. Sought through outcomes data and SSRIs to improve our conscious contact with the legislature, praying only to prove that treatment works and we’re truly not sleeping at our desks. Having had a rude awakening as the result of these steps, we vowed to share our retention data with programs that were still pre-contemplative and to practice fidelity in all of our affairs.
