The State of Arizona plans to extend its existing behavioral health system co-occurring infrastructure to the State's adult and juvenile criminal justice systems. The intention is to build the workforce, clinical, and information infrastructure necessary to ensure that all individuals who come in contact with the criminal justice system are provided with a consistent and comprehensive approach to the detection, assessment, and treatment of co-occurring disorders in a culturally competent manner that is inclusive of evidence-based practices. Their four key objectives are: 1) local and state criminal justice systems will implement a uniform process for ensuring that individuals within their custody are screened for the presence of mental illnesses and substance use disorders; 2) individuals exiting the correctional systems who have been positively screened will be appropriately diagnosed; 3) informational systems will be integrated to foster the flow of clinically relevant information among and between criminal justice and behavioral health treatment systems and settings; and 4) workforce development initiatives will be targeted to criminal justice and behavioral health service professionals. To evaluate the viability of this approach, a quasi-experimental pilot demonstration study will be undertaken that incorporates pre-release screening, assessment, and transition planning for inmates of the state correctional system, and co-occurring and culturally competent post-release services, including housing supports, intensive case management, and outpatient treatment services.

The proposal, "Promoting Non Violence and Healthy Relationships for Teen Girls" targets 8th grade girls as they prepare for a difficult transition year into high school. The entire 8h grade class of female students will be offered the program via a mandatory exploratory class. Research has suggested that it is important to deal with subjects of violence in relationships in gender segregated groups to allow the participants to deal with the material without preoccupation of how they are being viewed. Osborn Middle School has also experienced the national trend of an increased amount of violence being perpetrated by girls. Therefore, this proposal will provide targeted and more intensive intervention with teen girls. Goals of the Project : To reduce positive attitudes toward violence as measured by a reduction in positive attitudes toward violence on the compiled student questionnaire; to reduce threatening and violent behaviors as measured by discipline reports and self reports; to reduce the risk of involvement in violent relationships as demonstrated by an increased knowledge of the dynamics of violent/unhealthy relationships; and to reduce the risk of involvement in violent relationships as demonstrated by a reduction in the personal norms of accepting violence in couple relationships.

Other collaborators include the University of Arizona as the Evaluation Team and collaborator, Pima Community College and local high schools. Project results will include: 1) completion of a Phase I program with full documentation and process evaluation of the refinement and evaluation of the curriculum; and 2) completion of a Phase II program with full implementation and evaluation of the model.

The Tucson Urban League (TUL), a non-profit community-based service organization, in collaboration with the University of Arizona's Services Research Office and Providence Incorporated will work together to implement a comprehensive and culturally competent substance abuse and HIV prevention project for minority youth ages 15-17 years. The "Youth Empowerment Project" will serve both 1) youth who attend the Tucson Urban League Academy, and 2) youth enrolled in the Tucson Urban League Oasis program.
