Prevention study for Substance Abuse
Official title Testing Strategies to Improve Substance Misuse Prevention Research Use in State Policy Contexts
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06856148
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- If science is to inform effective substance misuse prevention policy and ultimately improve public health, the field needs an effective strategy for directly supporting policymakers' use of research evidence, yet our field lacks an evidence-based model designed for this purpose. Accordingly, a state-level randomized controlled trial (N = 30 states) of a formal, theory-based approach for appropriately supporting policymakers' use of scientific evidence--known as the Research-to-Policy Collaboration (RPC) Model is proposed.
