Effects of an Organizational Linkage Intervention on Inter-Organizational Service Coordination Between Probation/Parole Agencies and Community Treatment Providers

Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research volume 43, pages 105–121 (2016)Cite this article

Abstract

Weak coordination between community correctional agencies and community-based treatment providers is a major barrier to diffusion of medication-assisted treatment (MAT)—the inclusion of medications (e.g., methadone and buprenorphine) in combination with traditional counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. In a multisite cluster randomized trial, experimental sites (j = 10) received a 3-h MAT training plus a 12-month linkage intervention; control sites (j = 10) received the 3-h training alone. Hierarchical linear models showed that the intervention resulted in significant improvements in perceptions of interagency coordination among treatment providers, but not probation/parole agents. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

Notes

  1. In some sites, change team members also included representatives from Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime (TASC) or another local agency responsible for Alcohol or Other Drug (AOD) assessments.

  2. A random effect was not estimated for Treatment Agency (27 treatment agencies participated across the 20 sites), but the “Subjects” statement in GLMM explicitly separated cases by Treatment Agency so as to avoid mixing ratings of or by distinct treatment agencies in any specific site.

  3. For IOR1, n = 458 for BL; n = 323 for 12MO; total cases available for analyses = 781. Because each respondent may have rated more than one treatment agency, and because different respondents may have been sampled at BL and 12MO, the total number of unique individuals (rather than cases) was n = 439.

  4. For IOR2, n = 213 for BL; n = 171 for 12MO; total cases available for analyses = 384. Because different respondents may have been sampled at BL and 12MO, the total number of unique individuals (rather than cases) was n = 270.
