Personal StatementThe goal of the proposed research is to provide a description of policies and procedures in healthcare facilities within the state of Kentucky. Spefically, we will use the Qualtrics survey engine to provide the backend survey software while students interview administrators or their designates regarding policies about illicit drug use by residents. I have extensive experience in using software to drive survey research and the experience necessary to guide students as researchers. Since coming to Western I have served as a methodologist on multiple research projects within the University, most of which have dealt with illicit drug use. One of the first collaborations at Western was with Dr. Nicholson and Dr. Duncan on DRUGNET which was the first online cross-panel survey of “successful” drug users using the Internet. To date, it remains the largest single study of illicit drug users who have not been incarcerated or recruited through drug treatment facilities. To date I have coauthored 16 peer reviewed articles dealing with substance use and abuse. Most of these are data based publication. B.
