JCOIN Studies

Improving Overdose Prevention and Treatment in the Criminal Legal System.

JCOIN supports researchers working in partnership with criminal legal system and behavioral health treatment professionals to build the evidence base for effective SUD service delivery, implementation, and dissemination.

JCOIN at a Glance

The Justice Community Overdose Innovation Network (JCOIN) re-envisions how the justice system responds to addiction. The JCOIN Coordination and Translation Center (CTC) (PI: Faye Taxman, Ph.D., George Mason University) supports this crucial initiative through engaging with key stakeholders, disseminating products and findings, and providing infrastructure.

JCOIN is funded through the Helping to End Addiction Long-term℠ Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative℠. The NIH HEAL Initiative℠ is an aggressive, trans-NIH effort to speed scientific solutions to the national opioid health crisis. Launched in April 2018, the initiative is focused on improving prevention and treatment strategies for opioid misuse and addiction and enhancing pain management.
