Preferred Practices Initiative
There are two emerging trends of direct relevance to this initiative. Within the research community, increasing attention is being paid to "translational research"; investigations that apply the findings of basic research to the development and evaluation of new interventions for real-world, naturalistic settings. The second, related field is that of "knowledge transfer" or "knowledge brokering": the use of scientific knowledge generated through research in shaping policy and program development and organizational decision-making processes and practices.
To help loved ones cope with their loss, DMHAS is working with organizations throughout the state to make a series of Remembrance Quilts in memory of those we have lost to addiction. The quilts will be displayed across the state—at schools, community forums and other events—to help raise awareness about addiction and resources available to help promote recovery.
