The Institute of Behavioral Research at Texas Christian University is pleased to make available, without charge, a wide array of data collection instruments developed for drug abuse treatment and outcome assessments. Collectively, they are referred to as the "TCU Forms."  

Terms of Use:  Permission for the nonprofit research use of the TCU Forms is not required; however, it is requested that IBR be notified of their use, and that copies of reports based on these forms be sent as a professional courtesy to Dr. Dwayne Simpson, Director of the IBR.  No part of any TCU Form or its supporting material (i.e., instructions, scoring guides) may be copied, downloaded, stored in a retrieval system, or redistributed for any commercial purpose without the express written permission of the university.  

Origin and Availability of TCU Forms

The TCU Forms have their conceptual origins in the first national treatment evaluation study -- the DARP Project -- as well as related treatment evaluation projects conducted over the past three decades. In 1989, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded the DATAR Project at TCU for evaluating treatment enhancement strategies, therapeutic process, and follow-up outcomes in outpatient methadone programs. A core set of data collection instruments were prepared, and in subsequent years they have been revised as well as adapted to a variety of other treatment settings, populations, and applications. Thus, the TCU Forms represent a family of instruments adapted from the original TCU/DATAR Forms to meet assessment needs in a variety of research projects as described elsewhere (see Research and Publications).

Several of the most popular TCU Forms and related materials are now available for viewing and direct printing through the Internet. In the past, these manuals and reports have been widely distributed by mail. By making them available through the Internet, however, they become more readily accessible to the field (especially updated versions of the forms). Over time, it is possible that additional forms will be included as well.
