The Marriage of Research and Practice: A New Way of Thinking About Evidence-based Practices
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 30, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The supervision field lacks guided practice guidelines regarding how best to manage individuals in the community. Arnold Ventures funded Dr. Faye Taxman and Dr. JoAnn Lee to develop practice guidelines using a modified RAND/University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Appropriateness Method (RAM). Practice guidelines will be created in six areas: Violent or Gang-Involved, Mental Health Disorders, Young Adults, Intimate Partner Violence, Driving While Intoxicated, and Substance Use Disorders. This workshop will present an overview of the practice guidelines based on research on effective tools to facilitate change and the guidance by chiefs and probation staff on how to use in their office. A panel of probation chiefs/staff will highlight what they learned in looking at the appropriateness statements. We will discuss how to put these practices into operations.
