Investigators at CTBH and The National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare (The National Council) recently completed a study to assess community behavioral health agencies’ readiness to implement technology-delivered care approaches. The study, led by CTBH Director of Dissemination and Implementation Core Sarah Lord, Ph.D. and National Council Vice President of Health Information Technology and Strategic Development Michael Lardiere, LCSW, examined correlates of technology readiness attitudes and current treatment-related use of health information technology in community behavioral health agencies.

CTBH Director of Dissemination and Implementation Core, Sarah Lord, Ph.D. and CTBH Research Associate Alex Ramsey, Ph.D., in partnership with investigators from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, have just completed a qualitative study focused on understanding the processes associated with successful implementation of a mobile substance use recovery support tool in diverse systems of care. The ultimate end product of this effort will be the production of an implementation “Road Map”, or set of step-by-step strategies to guide the process of adopting and utilizing mobile technologies that enhance recovery support for those struggling with addiction.

The Journal of Medical Internet Research just published an article by CTBH Scientific Core Director Jesse Dallery, CTBH Affiliate Bethany Raiff, and Rachel Cassidy on the utility of single-case experiments to evaluate technology-based behavioral health interventions.
