Research Division
|
The research division of CReATE-- in collaboration with a team of consulting scientists-- offers the most rigorous research consultation available. We work with individual programs to evaluate the effectiveness of their practice, gain a more sophisticated understanding of the population served, and make programmatic changes in areas where treatment appears less effective. We also work with larger companies who aim to launch full research programs, which include a series of multiple studies targeting cumulative systematic questions and generating a more extensive knowledge base. CReATE offers support and guidance for agencies who aspire to quantify an aspect of their work, such as quality assurance reviews or patient satisfaction surveys.
The research team of CReATE will design, implement, and market state-of-the art outcome evaluations—in close collaboration with you and your needs. We also are highly skilled in the dissemination of research data and thus, can present programmatic outcomes, in multiple venues, including peer-reviewed publications and national conferences. Currently, we have two prospective, multi-site treatment outcome studies underway, investigating the effectiveness of a treatment modality for resistant adolescents and substance-abusing young adults. These studies are being conducted with scientific consultation from the University of Arkansas at the Arkansas Institute of Developmental Science and the Intervention Sciences Laboratory (see links to both of these laboratories). Data from these longitudinal studies have been or will be presented in myriad settings, including the American Psychological Association (August, 2008), the Southeastern Psychological Association (March, 2008), the International Society for the Study of Traumatic Stress (November, 2007), and the Association for Behavior and Cognitive Therapy (November, 2007). CReATE also offers a productive writing team who develops and submits manuscripts in reputable scientific journals.
