SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP) Highlights Comparative Effectiveness Research

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration today added a new search feature to its National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) Web site. The feature allows users to identify NREPP interventions that have been evaluated in comparative effectiveness research studies.

 

Both the Obama Administration and the U.S. Congress have championed additional investments in comparative effectiveness research to enhance public understanding about which healthcare interventions are most effective in different circumstances and with different patients. The new NREPP feature can provide added information for States and communities seeking to determine which mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment interventions may best address their needs.  To use this new search feature, interested parties should go to the NREPP Web site ( www.nrepp.samhsa.gov ), click on the “Find Interventions” tab, click in the checkbox labeled “Evaluated in comparative effectiveness research studies.”

 

For more information about how to use NREPP to identify specific interventions or how to submit an intervention for NREPP review, visit the Web site at www.nrepp.samhsa.gov ; call 1-866-43NREPP (1-866-436-7377); or send an e-mail to NREPP@samhsa.hhs.gov .
