  2. Estimate the size and correlates of underage and problem alcohol use Demonstrate how under age drinking is particularly problematic for youth in the short and long run Show how even a short screener can be used to quickly identify behavioral health problems and impact program planning Describe how the GAIN has been used as a key piece of infrastructure to support the move towards evidenced based practice Illustrate what we have learned by pooling data from CSAT adolescent/young adult grantees and its implications for program planning Goals of this Presentation are to

  22. Why we need to be expand beyond specialty care into school, work place, and health care.. Few Get Treatment: 1 in 19 adolescents, 1 in 21 young adults, 1 in 12 adults Over 88% of adolescent and young adult treatment and over 50% of adult treatment is publicly funded Much of the private funding is limited to 30 days or less and authorized day by day or week by week Health care reform (including school based health care, prevention care, and equity) may change this Source: OAS, 2009 – 2006, 2007, and 2008 NSDUH

  23. Cost of Substance Abuse Treatment Episode Many SBIRT, School, Workplace and other early intervention programs focus on brief intervention • $750 per night in Detox • $1,115 per night in hospital • $13,000 per week in intensive • care for premature baby • $27,000 per robbery • $67,000 per assault $70,000/year to keep a child in detention $22,000 / year to incarcerate an adult $30,000/ child-year in foster care Source: French et al., 2008; Chandler et al., 2009; Capriccioso, 2004

  24. Investing in Treatment has a Positive Annual Return on Investment (ROI) Substance abuse treatment has been shown to have a ROI of between $1.28 to $7.26 per dollar invested Treatment drug courts have an average ROI of $2.14 to $2.71 per dollar invested This also means that for every dollar treatment is cut, we lose more money than we saved.

  25. The Movement to Increase Screening Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) has been shown to be effective in identifying people not currently in treatment, initiating treatment/change and improving outcomes (see http://sbirt.samhsa.gov/ ) The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF, 2004; 2007), National Quality Forum (NQF, 2007), and Healthy People 2010 have each recommended SBIRT for tobacco, alcohol and increasingly drugs CSAT, CSAP, OJJDP, BJS NIAAA and NIDA are funding several projects to develop and evaluate models for doing this in primary care, trauma, emergency departments, schools, workplaces, and justice programs Washington State mandated screening in all adolescent and adult substance abuse treatment, mental health, justice, and child welfare programs with the 5 minute Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) short screener

  35. Use of a short common screener can Provide immediate clinical feedback that is a good approximation of diagnosis and be used to guide placement and treatment planning Can be used repeatedly to track change Support evaluation and planning at program or state level (e.g., needs, case mix, services needed) Provide practice based evidence to guide future clinical decision Be incorporated into health risk/ wellness assessments and/or school surveys

  36. In practice we need a Continuum of Measurement (Common Measures) Screening to Identify Who Needs to be “Assessed” (5-10 min) Focus on brevity, simplicity for administration & scoring Needs to be adequate for triage and referral GAIN Short Screener for SUD, MH & Crime ASSIST, AUDIT, CAGE, CRAFT, DAST, MAST for SUD SCL, HSCL, BSI, CANS for Mental Health LSI, MAYSI, YLS for Crime Quick Assessment for Targeted Referral (20-30 min) Assessment of who needs a feedback, brief intervention or referral for more specialized assessment or treatment Needs to be adequate for brief intervention GAIN Quick ADI, ASI, SASSI, T-ASI, MINI Comprehensive Biopsychosocial (1-2 hours) Used to identify common problems and how they are interrelated Needs to be adequate for diagnosis, treatment planning and placement of common problems GAIN Initial (Clinical Core and Full) CASI, A-CASI, MATE Specialized Assessment (additional time per area) Additional assessment by a specialist (e.g., psychiatrist, MD, nurse, spec ed) may be needed to rule out a diagnosis or develop a treatment plan or individual education plan CIDI, DISC, KSADS, PDI, SCAN More Extensive / Longer/ Expensive Screener Quick Comprehensive Special

  37. Longer assessments identify more areas to address in treatment planning Most substance users have multiple problems 5 min. 20 min 30 min 1-2 hr Source: Reclaiming Futures Portland, OR and Santa Cruz, CA sites (n=192) 37

  38. How does this relate to the move towards Evidence Based Practice (EBP)? EBP means introducing explicit intervention protocols Targeted at specific problems/subgroups and outcomes Having explicit quality assurance procedures to cause adherence at the individual level and implementation at the program level Reliable and valid assessment is needed that can be used to Immediately guide clinical judgments about diagnosis/severity, placement, treatment planning, and the response to treatment at the individual level Drive longer term program evaluation, needs assessment, performance monitoring and program planning Allow evaluation of the same person or program over time Allow comparisons with other people or interventions

  39. Major Predictors of Bigger Effects Found in Multiple Meta Analyses A strong intervention protocol based on prior evidence Quality assurance to ensure protocol adherence and project implementation Proactive case supervision of individual Triage to focus on the highest severity subgroup

  41. Evidenced Based Treatment (EBT) that Typically do Better than Usual Practice in Reducing Juvenile Recidivism (29% vs. 40%) Aggression Replacement Training Reasoning & Rehabilitation Moral Reconation Therapy Thinking for a Change Interpersonal Social Problem Solving MET/CBT combinations and Other manualized CBT Multisystemic Therapy (MST) Functional Family Therapy (FFT) Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT) Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) Assertive Continuing Care NOTE: There is generally little or no differences in mean effect size between these brand names Source: Adapted from Lipsey et al 2001, Waldron et al, 2001, Dennis et al, 2004

  42. Implementation is Essential (Reduction in Recidivism from .50 Control Group Rate) The best is to have a strong program implemented well The effect of a well implemented weak program is as big as a strong program implemented poorly Thus one should optimally pick the strongest intervention that one can implement well Source: Adapted from Lipsey, 1997, 2005

  44. Importance of Targeting on Performance measures 218/224=97% to targeted 553/771=72% unmet need 771/982=79% in need Size of the Problem Extent to which services are not reaching those in most need Extent to which services are currently being targeted Source: 2008 CSAT AAFT Summary Analytic Dataset

  46. Why Do We Care About Unmet Need? If we subset to those in need, getting mental health services predicts reduced mental health problems Both psychosocial and medication interventions are associated with reduced problems If we subset to those NOT in need, getting mental health services does NOT predict change in mental health problems Conversely, we also care about services being poorly targeted to those in need.

  48. The GAIN is .. A family of instruments ranging from screening, to quick assessment to a full Biopsychosocial and monitoring tools Designed to integrate clinical and research assessment Designed to support clinical decision making at the individual client level Designed to support evaluation and planning at program level Designed to support secondary analyses and comparisons across individuals and programs The GAIN is NOT an electronic health record (EHR), but a component that can interface with and support EHRs.
