Session Submission Summary

The Role of Practitioner-Driven Science

Thu, Nov 20, 8:00 to 9:20am, Marriott, Sierra J, 5th Floor

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

Researchers and practitioners continue to lament the ongoing gap between research and practice. One response to mitigate this gap has been to forge stronger partnerships between researchers and practitioners in order to facilitate the dissemination of research findings into the field and to allow practitioners input into the formulation of research questions of most interest to them. A key feature of most of these models is that the researchers are typically housed in academic environments or in agencies that are external to the practitioner agencies. This panel will focus instead on research being conducted by a research center that is embedded in a community-based treatment agency. Topics under study include aspects of implementation science, medication-assisted treatment for opiate-addicted offenders, and strengths-based interventions for responsivity.
