PI Shoham and Co-PI Rohrbaugh are leading the
Arizona site of the California-Arizona node of the Clinical Trials Network
(CTN) under the leadership of Dr. Sorenson at the University of California, San
Francisco. Shoham and
Rohrbaugh of the University of Arizona partnered with the largest Community
Treatment Center in Tucson, La Frontera Center, which has been funded by SAMHSA
and CSAT over years of high-quality work in the treatment of substance
abuse. This partnership is a true
scientist-practitioner model of collaboration that has now been made more
feasible by the CTN infrastructure.
At the node and the national level, Shoham is involved in Training and
in the Publication Subcommittee.

Period: 9/2003
– 9/2008
In collaboration
with researchers at the University of Miami, Dr. Rohrbaugh and I are conducting
a five-year, multi-site study based in Arizona that will evaluate how and for
whom family therapy is effective in reducing adolescent drug abuse. Data will
be collected in 8 community treatment programs (N=480) around the
country (including La Frontera Center in Tucson) and analyzed primarily at the
UA. The study builds on a randomized clinical trial, led by the University of
Miami group, which is being implemented in the framework of NIDA's Clinical
Trials Network (CTN).
