Sixty outpatient addiction treatment agencies in Ontario, Canada, participated in a case study exploring the factors related to the adoption of research-evaluated treatment technologies. The agencies received free training in a manual-based, brief outpatient treatment program. At a twelve-month follow-up period, managers were interviewed to assess the proportion of agencies using the treatment package and the factors encouraging or discouraging their agencies' use of the program. While the dissemination was a success (49 percent of agencies had used the treatment program and 83 percent had used at least some of the tools), questions remain as to why some agencies adopted the treatment package while others did not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
