Retrospective Study, will examine TIPs

published by CSAT as of the time of the

study. This study will examine methods

of dissemination used by CSAT; the

success of those methods in reaching

the target audiences; users’ perceptions

of the value of TIPs; decisions to

implement the guidance presented in

TIPs; and the successes, correlates, and

barriers associated with

implementation. The Retrospective

Study uses a one-group posttest-only

design to provide the framework for a

surveys of respondents from four

distinct target audiences of interest to

CSAT: (1) Single State Agency Directors;

(2) directors of substance abuse

treatment facilities listed in the most

recent Uniform Facilities Data Set

(UFDS) database; (3) clinical directors of

treatment facilities listed in the

database; and (4) front-line clinicians/

counselors working in facilities listed in

the database. Measures will include

organization characteristics and

outcomes associated with the following

variables: awareness, receipt, and

reading of TIPs; perceived utility of

TIPs; and the impact of TIPs on

changing substance abuse treatment

practices. The estimated annualized

burden for a 1-year data collection

period is summarized below.
