Abstract
The prospective study is the third major study under the Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) evaluation project, which uses diffusion of innovations theory as its theoretical framework. This study employs an experimental design to examine four approaches to disseminating TIPs to substance abuse treatment professionals. The goal is to determine the most cost-effective level of support needed to implement treatment guidelines. Although the results are not yet available because the study is still in progress, it is presented along with the other major studies under this project to show how methodological triangulation can be used in conjunction with theory in evaluation studies to gain a more comprehensive understanding of implementation issues.
