Modifications of Evidence Based Practices. DBHR will identify the need for any modifications or adaptations to practices by reviewing Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance measures, TARGET data, and local community-based provider feedback every six months. We will justify any modifications or adaptations to practices by reviewing the GPRA performance data that has been reported to SAMHSA. Additionally, feedback from the youth and their families/caregivers receiving services and from the treatment providers will be used to justify modifications or adaptations, particularly adaptations to address any needed cultural competencies, as addressed by the Health Disparities Work Group. Proposed adaptations will be reviewed by DBHR to ensure that they are consistent with improving the likelihood of success in meeting the goals and objectives of this project. We will consult with the EBP developer to determine any possible impact to outcomes from the proposed adaptations to modify the training and implementation plans and data collection. In addition, we will seek pre-approval from SAMHSA staff before moving forward with an adaptation to the selected EBP.
