Introduction

Through an exhaustive review of research literature to identify evidence-based actions, Danya International, Inc. (Danya), project staff developed an evidence-based actions database for treatment staff to use in identifying opportunities for improvement. The database consists of action items, searchable keywords, and the literature citation. The evidence-based actions were determined through a comprehensive review of literature in the field of opioid addiction treatment. Articles were summarized into one or two sentences and assigned keywords, which were defined by search terms used to find the articles or keywords provided by the authors of the article. This database will be updated periodically.

Below are fields to enter topic, and keywords. Search results will include action title, keywords, references, and Web site links (when available).
