Abstract
Through research, we continue to develop and refine an array of safe and efficacious interventions to prevent and treat drug abuse; however, these interventions have not led to widespread improvements in prevention and treatment services in nonresearch settings. In addition, investigator-initiated research rarely examine or refine interventions that practitioners have found relevant and that are widely practiced. To address these problems, the National Institute on Drug Abuse convened a blue ribbon task force to examine its health services research program. The report served as a catalyst for the institute to promote a vigorous program of research that seeks to examine prevention and treatment intervention delivery systems and policies that facilitate provision of effective care in a range of real world settings. Findings from this research should help address the translational bottleneck of bringing evidence-based interventions into the community.
