Grants and Contracts Details
Description
The purpose of this contract is for the University of Kentucky Research Foundation
(UKRF) in FY 2018 to train and guide the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy’s
Alternative Sentencing Worker Program (ASWP) on how to develop and produce
evaluation reports. The end product will be an annual report developed by DPA that
shows the specific outcomes of services provided by the ASWP in terms of reduced
incarceration time and costs for DPA clients who participate in the program and in the
study. UKRF will consult on methods for analysis of data collected by DPA staff in the
course of their ASWP services for DPA clients.
All baseline and follow-up data will be collected by DPA staff and entered into the DPA
data system, JustWare. The DPA staff will enter baseline data on all clients who are
eligible for services and will enter 12-month follow-up status reports on each client that
describe success in completing programs and the number of nights each client spent
incarcerated during the report periods after baseline. UKRF will be provided with data
uploads from the DPA data system according to procedures worked out by both UK
RF and DPA. UKRF will receive de-identified client level data that are in a format that
can be transferred into statistical programs for analysis. UKRF will work collaboratively
with the DPA ASWP staff on methods for analyzing data and writing up the findings.
UKRF will consult on what variables are needed from the DPA data system in order to
implement this study.
