‘Institutionalizing’ Recovery in Mental Health Care
The Huffington PostMay 02, 2015

Screening for Alcohol Use and Misuse in Older Adults: Using the Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening TestGeriatric Version.
American Journal of Nursing2008The Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test–Geriatric Version (SMAST-G) is often used in outpatient settings to detect "at-risk" alcohol use, alcohol abuse, or alcoholism in older adults. As the number of older adults in the United States grows, those who develop problems of abuse and a dependence on alcohol will grow as well. The availability of accurate, easy-to-use screening tools to detect people in need of counseling can increase the number of older adults whose lives can be improved and even lengthened.

The SATOL Project
Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work2008This paper describes the development, implementation and assessment of an innovative approach to the dissemination of evidence-based research to clinical supervision through the use of Web-based technology. The Substance Abuse Treatment On-line Library: Focus on Clinical Supervision, known as the SATOL Project, was developed by an interdisciplinary faculty group at New York University. The findings of this study document the positive impact of SATOL in helping supervisors feel more capable of mentoring and supporting their staff, in better assessing and evaluating the quality of services provided by their supervisees, and in applying empirical evidence to their daily clinical supervision practice. Limitations of the project include the short time-frame and small sample size.
