SAMHSA provides guidance for NREPP program submission

Aug 20 2010

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) today provided guidance for those interested in submitting programs and practices to its National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP).  The notice is published in the August 18, 2010 Federal Register.
 
NREPP is a voluntary rating and classification system designed to provide the public with reliable information on the scientific basis and practicality of interventions that prevent and/or treat mental and substance use disorders.  Under NREPP, minimum review criteria require that interventions must: be evaluated using an experimental or quasi-experimental study design; demonstrate one or more positive change outcomes in mental health and/or substance use among individuals, communities or populations; have results that are published in a peer-reviewed publication or documented in a comprehensive evaluation report; and provide documentation, such as manuals, guides, or training materials, to facilitate broader public dissemination of the intervention.
