This survey is the first part of a two-stage process designed to collect the opinions and experiences of both adult and juvenile drug court teams throughout South Carolina. We will use this survey to learn about similarities and differences across drug court programs that are currently operating in South Carolina, gather various experiences and viewpoints of team members, and report the findings of the survey. Results should be useful in guiding decision-making surrounding the expansion of juvenile and adult drug courts in South Carolina.
This survey is intended for juvenile and adult drug court program coordinators and team members, and should take around 20-30 minutes to complete. You will be asked about the general characteristics of the either the adult drug court program, or the juvenile drug court program, depending upon your position. This information will address local demographics, target population, program structure, team structure and contact information, and other information regarding your drug court program.
We ask that all team members be identified with both an email and physical mailing address. This information will be crucial for the follow-up survey of all the team members in the state who participate in some capacity on a drug court team. We ask for names only for tracking purposes, and none of a respondent’s answers will be shared with anyone, or in any way that it would be possible to identify them. Reports will simply summarize findings across respondents.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact:
