Adoption of evidence-based practices in the CTN.
This presentation explores organizational-level adoption, implementation, and discontinuation of evidence-based treatment practices (EBPs), comparing programs that participated in CTN research to programs that did not. It describes three University of Georgia platform studies that examined three specific EBPs: buprenorphine, motivational incentives, and alcohol pharmacotherapies.
Overall, the studies found that there is greater adoption of EBPs in CTN versus non-CTN treatment programs, and that participating in research networks is important when it comes to promoting evidence-based practices.
