The use of screening and assessment tools to gauge substance abuse disorders and the risk for recidivism are two widely recommended practices. A national survey of adult prisons, jails, and community correctional agencies was conducted to examine the practices used to place offenders in appropriate treatment services. Study findings indicate that 58.2% of the surveyed respondents report the use of a standardized substance abuse-screening tool, and that 34.2% use an actuarial risk tool. The provision of higher intensity treatment programs, the use of standardized risk tools, and the provision of more community referral services were all independently associated with the use of a standardized substance abuse-screening tool. Because practices vary considerably, agencies desiring to improve correctional programming should consider different dissemination, implementation, and technology transfer strategies.
使用筛查和评估工具来衡量药物滥用障碍和累犯风险是两种广泛推荐的做法。一项针对成年监狱、看守所和社区矫正机构的全国性调查，旨在研究用于将罪犯安置到适当治疗服务中的做法。研究结果表明，58.2%的受访受访者报告使用了标准化的药物滥用筛查工具，34.2%使用了精算风险工具。提供更高强度的治疗项目、使用标准化风险工具以及提供更多社区转诊服务，均与使用标准化药物滥用筛查工具独立相关。由于做法差异很大，希望改进惩教规划的机构应考虑不同的传播、实施和技术转让策略。
