CFF worked with the APRC for the past ten years in the development and analysis of the most comprehensive Statewide inventory of alcohol and drug treatment and prevention funding. This annual inventory has been used to establish a geographic information system and to present annual recommendations that emphasize cost-effective and science-based programs. CFF also worked with the Governor’s office in Arizona to establish an accountability system to collect indicators of AOD programs’ impact.
As part of the AODTI project mentioned above, CFF has worked with Sacramento County to develop a database to quantify and track clients in treatment who have child welfare involvement, and to use that information for policy analysis and program improvement. In addition to the AODTI project, CFF has ongoing contracts with Sacramento to evaluate their Adult Criminal Drug Court and Family/Dependency Drug Court. CFF is responsible for gathering data from the project coordinators, data analysis and program and policy recommendations based upon their findings.
As the subcontractor on the national Family Treatment Drug Court evaluation, CFF was responsible for the development and implementation of the evaluation plan, research design and methodology, supervision of data collection staff at the five sites, data analyses and report writing.
CFF serve as the evaluators for a residential treatment program serving women and children, funded by California’s Proposition 10 funds in Contra Costa County. CFF has also worked with the Commission on Children and Families to develop indicators of child well-being in the County.
Under the ON TIME project discussed above, CFF was responsible for data collection and analysis. The ON TIME clients were evaluated against a comparison group to establish if there were differences in: 1) substance use; 2) treatment compliance; 3) family stability; and, 4) employment participation.
