Persistent Effects of Treatment in Cuyahoga County, Ohio--New
The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is undertaking a
major initiative to study the long-term course of substance abuse
within the context of receipt of substance abuse treatment. It has
often been observed that success in treating substance abuse may
require multiple episodes of treatment. The Persistent Effects of
Treatment Studies (PETS) will be a family of studies structured to
provide data on a wide range of populations and treatment approaches
over a three-year period following admission to a substance abuse
treatment program in a community setting. The family of studies will be
built on existing studies currently being conducted by other
organizations (including Federal, State, and local governments) in
order to minimize costs and response burden. Collectively, the PETS
studies are expected to provide valuable insights into the factors that
lead to long-term success in treatment of substance abuse.
Persistent Effects of Treatment in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is the
first of these studies. Under the aegis of an existing, CSAT-funded,
Target Cities cooperative agreement, the county has built a strong
substance abuse treatment information capability including standardized
client intake assessment using the computerized Central Intake
Assessment Instrument (CIAI-C), sound and comprehensive treatment
information systems, and ongoing client follow-up at 6- and 12-months
after treatment. This proposed project will build upon this foundation
by conducting additional interviews at 24, 30, and 36 months after
treatment admission using the computerized CIAI-C Followup version. At
month 36, additional information needed to construct a natural history
of substance use, treatment, criminal justice involvement, and
employment for each subject over the previous 4-year period will be
collected.
The estimated response burden over the three-year period of
approval is summarized below.

* The client cohort is comprised of 1,259 treatment clients. Some clients will have the 24-month interview
conducted under Target Cities funding and some will be under PETS funding.

information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to:
