In partnership with the Florida Department of Children and Families, 国产短视频operates the Baker Act Reporting Center. This Center has been in existence since 1996 and is the only center of its kind in the country. The Baker Act Reporting Center receives documents from mandated reporters, enters data from them, stores the documents electronically, and produces reports from the data, and provides technical assistance to the Florida Department of Children and Families and other stakeholders about our data specifically and the Baker Act generally. The Baker Act Reporting Center receives and enters data from forms for over 200,000 involuntary (Baker Act) examinations each year that are submitted by Baker Act receiving facilities and over 40,000 documents received from Clerks of Court statewide for longer-term civil commitment.

Unplanned hospital readmissions represent a critical failure of the healthcare system, perpetuate health disparities, and are the single largest driver of excess healthcare costs. Hospital readmissions are particularly prevalent among older adults; patients aged 60 and older account for nearly 60% of all unplanned readmissions. Racial/ethnic disparities in readmission rates are profound and are the greatest among African American and Latino/Hispanic older adults. The Care Transitions Intervention (CTI) is a non-clinical coaching strategy that occurs in the hospital, at home, and via telephone for 28 days post-discharge. The Enhancing the Care Transitions Intervention with Peer Support to Reduce Disparities project is a three-armed randomized controlled trial of CTI alone, CTI + Peer Support (PS), and usual care (UC) to compare readmissions occurring within 6 months (assessed at 30 days, 90 days, and 6 months) in a high-risk minority sample of 201 African Americans and 201 Latino/Hispanics (age 60+) who are living with a chronic physical illness (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, COPD etc.). Study participants are recruited from three partner hospitals in South/Central Florida (2 urban hospitals and 1 rural hospital).

The Do More, Feel Better project uses Behavioral Activation delivered by lay volunteers to address the large numbers of senior center clients who suffer from untreated depression.  The focus of Behavioral Activation is to guide clients to reengage in daily pleasant and rewarding activities, and reduce depressive symptoms.  The goal is to determine if the lay delivery model has a positive impact in comparison to MSW-delivered Behavioral Activation, leading to an effective intervention that can be used by a large untapped workforce of older adult volunteers across the nation.

The purpose of this project is to investigate and disseminate the mechanisms underlying racial/ethnic and sex disparities in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services among minors in the criminal justice system, called justice-involved adolescents (JIA). JIA have an elevated risk for substance misuse and SUD that indicates a critical need for diagnosing and treating SUD. Consequences of untreated SUD in adolescence include incarceration/recidivism, violence, risky sexual behavior, as well as poor educational, occupational, and psychological outcomes, and early death. Only a portion of juveniles who meet diagnostic criteria for SUD are referred for clinical diagnosis, initiate treatment and complete treatment. Although racial/ethnic minorities and females in the juvenile justice system can suffer harsher consequences from unmet treatment needs, some evidence indicates racial/ethnic and sex disparities in treatment services.

The key to an inclusive, heterogeneous and highly-skilled research community is to develop comprehensive initiatives that recruit, train, and cultivate burgeoning under-represented minorities and disadvantaged scholars early in their education.  The Substance Misuse and Addiction Research Traineeship (SMART) program is a comprehensive recruitment and research education program to enhance diversity in the next generation of substance abuse and addiction scientists.
