Over 250 Federal, State, and local representatives from 38 states convened to exchange information on evaluating "what works" in multijurisdictional task forces, drug testing and treatment programs, managing and prosecuting drug cases, drug abuse education programs, community responses to drug abuse, and a variety of other drug control programs.
Abstract
Participants indicated a need for technical assistance in developing and conducting evaluations, information sharing about evaluation techniques, and direct funding for evaluation research. Participants expressed the need for "how to" guides on evaluation research and findings from specific evaluation projects. Participants also indicated that future Federal initiatives should target education/prevention and treatment programs as well as law enforcement programs in the battle against drug abuse. The next step in evaluating drug control programs is for evaluators, analysts, and researchers at Federal, State, and local levels to exchange the evaluation results from the programs that were the focus of this conference. Appendix.
