Methods for Disseminating Evidence-Based Treatments from the Frontlines of Community Treatment Programs

Workshop held at the CTN Steering Committee meeting, Bethesda, MD, March 24, 2009.

Abstract: This 2-hour workshop, organized by the CTN Research Utilization Committee, highlighted different methods CTPs have used to disseminate evidence-based treatment into their practice settings. Representatives from five CTPs presented, covering such topics as 1) the use of opinion leaders in promoting dissemination; 2) adapting contingency management for clinical practice; 3) the use of written materials to disseminate information to patients about treatment and recovery; 4) implementing a trauma-focused practice for women; and 5) dissemination through organizational change. The session ended with a live demo of the CTN Dissemination Library website along with tips on how the site can also be used to transfer evidence-based treatments from research to practice.
