Course Overview
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), formerly the National Registry of Effective Programs, is a searchable online rating system for mental health promotion, substance abuse prevention, and mental health and substance abuse treatment interventions. This decision support tool is designed to assist the public in identifying approaches that have been scientifically tested and that can be readily disseminated to the field.
Development of an evidence-based program or practice begins long before the intervention is ready for NREPP review; research studies are carefully designed and completed with target outcomes in mind, and implementation materials are drafted and fine-tuned to prepare for dissemination. However, if inclusion in NREPP is a future goal, program developers should consider the NREPP review system and submission requirements as they progress through the natural stages of program development.
This course was created for developers of mental health or substance abuse programs, including principal investigators of relevant research studies, who are working toward submission to NREPP.
This course will help users do the following:
- Learn the purpose of NREPP and the benefits of inclusion in the Registry
- Understand NREPP’s minimum review requirements and SAMHSA’s areas of interest
- Identify the documentation required for the NREPP review
- Assess an intervention’s readiness for submission
- Prepare and submit an intervention for NREPP review
