we have a new policy for all of our funded providers that thirty five percent of the
effort be evidence-based
and the reason
that we finally
formulated the policy
was we spent ten years talking about evidence base and
promoting evidence based in providing resources for evidence-based
bought in our state without a mandate because we found the divers uh... array of non-profits
in schools in treatment organizations
everyone has their own local mission goals and vision and more a piece of that
for two-thirds of the system we needed a formal policy to say you know we talked about it
for a long time
and now we are serious you have to start spending money on
these types of services
to help new york state providers implement the new policy we've been working for about
three years providing training and technical assistance about what is evidence based
and when we got these if state grant the strategic prevention framework funding
we finally have the resources too
be brave enough to reach out to the research community to say we helped and creating a
registry allot new york state calls evidence-based programs and practices
saw a large part of what we've been doing is building a support system
which will be called the new york registry of effective programs and practices or nai
rep
not to be confused with enraptured national
registered
so the work of this evidence based review panel has been to take federal guidance
samsung
on what evidence faces a different levels of evidence
and then interpret that for new york state
and ultimately become may help to the consumers it's not quite unique eddia of any state
uh... registry
evidence-based programs and practices
is actually required by this specially grant
on for the specifying did some recipients so whether you form of this demonstration
grant there has to be a review panel to review their work to make sure it's evidence-based
it is relatively unique that
uh... state has taken that concept and applied it to their whole system all their block grant
funded providers
that's listed in who doesn't get listed for new york has to do with the availability of
resources to help
implement whatever the interventionist we don't have the same resources that are not
for other national registries have everybody's struggling now
so we will use the andhra ratings of
dissemination materials wherever it's an undercurrent
if it's not a member of program
we will do a rudimentary look to see is there a particular
is their support is their training yes no for just some basic answers the questions
we won't be able to break the quality
of the greater the quality of the training the quality of the technical assistance so
that will be up to the consumer unfortunately down the road we can have that that would
be great
one of the important resources that'll help us disseminate the findings of a registry
is the center for application of prevention technology
and they're going to help us with the
information technology communications technology so we can have a web presence
and maybe to celebrate something like
the consumer feedback area where people can look to see what other providers in the state
has said about particular set of training curricula technical assistance package that
came along with uh...
an evidence-based programmer practice
