The unmet need for effective addiction treatment within the criminal justice system "represents a significant opportunity to intervene with a high-risk population" according to NIDA's 2016-2020 strategic plan. The plan also encourages the development and evaluation of implementation strategies that address the needs of the criminal justice system. The proposed research will be conducted as part of Dr. Zielinski's Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23), which aims to: 1) advance knowledge on implementation of a gold-standard psychotherapy for trauma, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), in the prison setting and 2) examine whether prison-delivered CPT reduces drug use, psychiatric symptoms, and recidivism compared to a control condition (a coping-focused therapy). These foci have been selected because severe trauma exposure, substance use, and justice-involvement overwhelmingly co-occur in prison populations. The three specific aims in this research are: 1) Use formative evaluation to identify factors that may influence implementation and uptake of CPT in prisons, 2) Adapt CPT for incarcerated drug users and develop a facilitation-based implementation guide to support its uptake, and 3) conduct a participant-randomized Hybrid II trial to assess effectiveness and implementation outcomes of CPT with incarcerated drug users. Participants will include people who have been incarcerated (pre- and post-release from incarceration) and prison stakeholders who will be purposively sampled based on their role in implementation of CPT and other programs. Anticipated enrollment across all three Aims is 244 adult men and women.

Primary | Post-Incarceration Drug Use | Drug use will be examined as both binary responses (abstinence vs. any use) and frequency counts (number of days of use). These variables will be derived from information gained via Timeline Follow-Back Interview. | Approximately 3 months after release from incarceration | |
Primary | Change in PTSD Symptoms by Treatment End and 3 Months Post-Release from Incarceration | PTSD symptoms will be assessed using the 20-item PTSD Checklist (PCL-5). Response options are used to indicate the severity of each PTSD symptom and range from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Total scores range from 0-80. Lower scores indicate lower levels of PTSD symptoms and therefore a better treatment outcome. | Pre-treatment assessments will be completed within 4 weeks of treatment start. Post-treatment assessments will be completed within 2 weeks of treatment end. Post-release assessments will be completed approximately 3 months after release from prison. | |
Secondary | Change in Depression Symptoms by Treatment End and 3 Months Post-Release from Incarceration | Depression symptoms will be assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Response options are using to indicate the severity of each symptom of depression and range from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Total scores range from 0-27. Lower scores indicate lower levels of depression symptoms and therefore a better treatment outcome. | Pre-treatment assessments will be completed within 4 weeks of treatment start. Post-treatment assessments will be completed within 2 weeks of treatment end. Post-release assessments will be completed approximately 3 months after release from prison. | |
Secondary | Recidivism | Recidivism will be extracted from administrative incarceration records and examined as both a binary variable (presence or absence of any drug-related recidivism) and frequency counts (number of new drug charges). | 12 months after release from incarceration |
