Who supports the Proposition 36 Treatment System Impact Study?
In addition to NIDA and UCLA oversight, the study will be guided by a Steering Committee consisting of representatives from the participating counties. Two independent experts (Drs. Thomas McLellan and Nancy Young) in the substance abuse field will facilitate the annual Steering Committee meetings. The research team will regularly inform California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) and the County Alcohol and Drug Program Administrators Association of California (CADPAAC) of the study’s progress. ADP is the Single State Agency responsible for the state’s block grants and provides funding to California’s 58 counties in administrating substance abuse services programs. ADP is also the lead state agency for the implementation of Proposition 36. CADPAAC is comprised of the designated county alcohol and drug program administrators representing the 58 counties within California.
