Deadline: June 14, 2018
“The purpose of this project is to support methodologically rigorous research and evaluations with practical implications for family drug courts (FDCs) including identifying strategies and approaches to address the opioid epidemic. FDCs are specialized courts within the justice system that handle cases of child abuse and neglect that involve substance abuse by the child’s parents or guardians. These cases are coordinated closely with child protective services and often involve parental rights, in which parents who are substance abusers are motivated to seek treatment in order to maintain or restore custody of their children. Studies under this program will assess the effectiveness and cost efficiency of this approach, particularly in helping to address the country’s opioid epidemic.”
