DRAFT Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government First Responders-Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Support Services (LFUCG FR-CARA 2) Evaluation Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFCUG) submitted a grant to SAMHSA to fund the First Responders-Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Support Services project. The UK Center on Drug and Alcohol Research will be responsible for conducting the required evaluation for this project, if funded. The evaluation includes collecting and analyzing de-identified data from several local community public health and first responder groups. A process evaluation will be conducted annually by the evaluation team through confidential interviews with key staff and stakeholders to document information on program implementation and organizational policy changes stemming from grant activities. Reports will be prepared for LFUCG for regular and on- going Continuous Quality Improvement meetings to measure and address issues related to implementation and on-going challenges. In addition, an annual report including both process and local level outcome evaluation data will be prepared.
