The WING Drug Task Force has existed since 1989 and has done alot of work to address drug use within the 11 counties that it covers in Western Nebraska. It has been designated as a Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. We would like some insight and suggestions on how our Task Force is operating with its operations to see what is considered evidence based practices in what we are currently doing, and if there are any suggestions on other evidence based programs/practices we should look into. We want to explore mechanisms to adopt and implement evidence based practices within the task force. We want to identify and facilitate the use of evaluation techniques to assess the effectiveness of an evidence-based approach to service delivery. We want to see how we can work with other community programs and service providers to identify information needs on "what works" in identified areas, and produce up to date information on evidence based practices in specific areas like our communities school, selective prevention, and family support.
We need help figuring out how to determine if our practices are evidence based, and if there are any procedures/suggestions that would help our task force continue to develop on this.
