TL;DR
The use of EBPs among facility- and community-based programs that serve drug-involved adult offenders has room for improvement and Initiatives to disseminate EBPs might target these institutional and environmental domains, but further research is needed to determine whether such organization interventions can promote the uptake ofEBPs.
