Research & Policy

TASC's research and policy division is dedicated to advancing the knowledge of substance abuse trends and models for intervention. The division also works to inform and promote public policies that address these issues.

For over 30 years, local and national health service entities have called upon TASC to perform critical research in Illinois and at the national level. TASC's expertise helps guide effective interventions for persons with substance abuse and mental health issues and inform about current trends in the broader field.

TASC Research & Policy

TASC's research and policy division works with TASC programs to identify and integrate evidence-based practices into TASC clinical services. This includes conducting internal, utilization-focused surveys and evaluations on TASC programs to ensure the most efficient and effective use of services.

The Center For Health & Justice (CHJ) at TASC

The Center for Health & Justice at TASC collaborates with community leaders and academic institutions to apply extensive research and development work, and the understanding of substance abuse, criminal activity, and general behavioral health toward practical solutions that stop the cycle of drugs and crime.

These collaborations ensure that TASC remains on the leading edge of clinical knowledge and policy formulation, and that best service delivery practices are shared with community partners.

CHJ routinely publishes articles and studies on a wide range of topics relevant to substance abuse, treatment, and other social services within the criminal justice system.
