简要总结
The current study proposes to use a Hybrid Type 3 implementation research strategy to: 1) Significantly enhance our understanding of public health outcomes [e.g., overdose incidents and substance-use (SU)-related Emergency Medical Service (EMS) contacts] and public safety outcomes (e.g., drug-related arrests) associated with Deflection and Pre-Arrest Diversion initiatives (DPAD, hereafter referred to as Deflection); and 2) Create a lasting contribution to the fields of research focused on SU and the criminal legal system (CLS) by advancing knowledge of effective implementation strategies involving the critical role of community engagement in Deflection. The highly experienced team of Multiple PIs, senior-level collaborators from both Deflection and Community Behavioral Health (CBH), state-level evaluation partners, a national stakeholder advisory group, and CLS and behavioral health partners within each community have teamed up to carry out the proposed project. The study approach uses a hybrid implementation-effectiveness design to examine strategies to improve opioid and stimulant relevant outcomes, and specifically proposes to test the implementation-effectiveness of 2 strategy bundles to promote Deflection models through a CORE community engagement bundle (designed to facilitate community stakeholder engagement) and ENHANCED community engagement bundle (CORE plus a component to systematically involve community advocates) on improving implementation as well as public safety and health outcomes. The proposed randomized control trial includes a total of 20 geographically distinct clinical research performance sites (i.e., 20 communities spanning 5 states; New Mexico, Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Pennsylvania), with 3-5 communities per state and the inclusion of key CLS and CBH stakeholders within each site. The large scope of the project will maximize potential generalizability of study results and sustainability of implementation strategies.

结局指标
主要结局
public health and safety collaboration
时间窗: Month 10, 26, and 38 for Wave1; Month 14, 30, and 42 forWave 2
Is there a change in public health and safety collaboration? Measured using the Brewer et al., 2018 survey on aligning strategy (e.g., work together to identify unmet needs in the community) and coordinating current work (e.g., share information that helps the system of care work better). The Brewer et al. (2018) Aligning Strategy and Coordinating Work Survey is measured on a 5-point Likert scale, and scores are computed by averaging all items within each scale to yield a mean. Higher scores = stronger collaboration / alignment / coordination
citizen awareness and perceived utility of Deflection
时间窗: Month 10, 26, and 38 for Wave1; Month 14, 30, and 42 forWave 2
Is there a change in citizen awareness and perceived utility of Deflection? Measured using several survey measures on attitudes toward deflection efforts and law enforcement within their community, including awareness, acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. Survey measures are scored via averaging scale items together to yield a mean, with higher scores indicating higher levels of awareness, acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility.
deflection workforce referrals and citizen enrollments in Deflection
时间窗: Month 10, 26, and 38 for Wave1; Month 14, 30, and 42 for Wave 2
Is there a change in workforce referrals and citizen enrollments in Deflection? Measured using existing data collected by the deflection program on referral and enrollments to deflection services including adoption (e.g., proportion of workforce and agencies referring clients to deflection), penetration (e.g., count of deflection referrals and enrollments), equity (e.g., proportion of referrals and enrollments of minority representation), and sustainment (e.g., continued adoption and penetration). Scores for each will be represented by a count/number.
overdose and SU related mortality
时间窗: Month 4-38 for Wave 1; Month8-42 for Wave 2
Is there a change in overdose and SU related mortality rates? Measured using the National Association of State EMS Officials (NAEMSSO) harmonized data as collected from EMS agencies within the 5 participating states, as well as through coroner/vital statistics records on cause of death information for the communities. Rates are represented by a count/number of overdoses and SU related mortality rates, before and after implementation.
service access along the full substance use cascade
时间窗: Month 4-38 for Wave 1; Month8-42 for Wave 2
Is there a change in service access along the full substance use cascade and complex needs? Measured through data sharing of existing records from deflection programs. Numbers/counts will be used to measure each step of the substance use cascade.
