## Abstract

TREATMENT DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION CORE - Project Summary
Technology-delivered (web, mobile) interventions hold much promise for overcoming the substantial
challenges that contribute to our population’s poor access to high quality, empirically-supported interventions
for substance use disorders (SUDs) and related problems. Moreover, innovative technology-based behavioral
interventions can likely increase the potency of existing interventions, in addition to extending their reach and
reducing costs. Delivering on these promises has substantial public health implications, given that the majority
of persons with SUDs are not receiving substance abuse treatment of any kind, and only the minority of those
who do receive treatment are provided with an evidence-based intervention. The Center for Technology and
Behavioral Health (CTBH) P30 Center was developed and funded by NIDA to enhance and expedite research
efforts that leverage an array of technologies for improving treatment delivery systems. This P30 renewal
proposal seeks to continue the mission of the CTBH, build upon successes, and enhance existing structure to
meet the treatment and research communities’ needs. The Treatment Development and Evaluation (TDE)
Core will continue to enhance the quality, efficiency, and impact of research projects among an interdisciplinary
expert team focused on the development, efficacy, and effectiveness testing of innovative, science-based
technology-based interventions. The TDE Core will continue to develop and expand activities and methods for
sharing resources among CTBH affiliates and the greater scientific and clinical communities, and will improve
and expand its TDE mentorship services for preparing competitive grant applications, including development of
a new consultation service in novel methodologies for measurement and experimental design. The TDE Core
will also continue to promote a better scientific understanding of how, and for whom, technology-based
interventions are effective. Progress towards achieving this aim will be accomplished by expanding the Core’s
coordination of cross-project studies, capitalizing on methodological advances in the field to answer scientific
questions about predictors of intervention outcome and treatment engagement, in concert with mechanisms of
change. These activities will advance the state-of-the science and practice of using technology-based
interventions to optimize outcomes for SUDs and related problems.
