Referral (FDR), i.e., first-time felons
whose guilty pleas are held for one year
pending successful completion of
treatment and probation when the case
may be expunged. The evaluation
procedures consist of a baseline
interview and follow-up interviews over
a 4-year period that track outcomes to
the point at which most subjects would
be eligible to apply for sealing of
records. Follow-up interviews and file
studies test for a wide array of possible
effects, including recidivism,
employment, education, drug use,
family relationships, support of
children, mental and physical health,
HIV/AIDS risk factors, assumption of
personal responsibility, life adjustment
factors, and program costs.
In Cuyahoga the evaluation has
recruited 645 participants who have
volunteered to participate for the fouryear period. Evaluation interviews take
place at baseline, 6 months, 12 months,
24 months, and 36 months.
The 24-month interview is an
additional interview point to the
original OMB approval because it
enriches the study by providing data
covering the critical first year an
offender is off supervision. The
additional interview does not increase
the burden because the original OMB
approval provided for 150 more
participants in Cuyahoga and also did
not provide for attrition at follow-up.
Because a 36-month interview point
provides a final interview for all
participants before project end date, it
replaces the 42-month interview point.
The PRR baseline interview included
997 variables. Six-month and twelvemonth follow-ups were increased to
1100 variables in order to collect client
clinical experience data. Twenty-four
and thirty-six month interviews are
further increased to 1184 variables in
order to measure perception and effect
on participants of stigma reduction
provided through the elimination of
felony records.
Each interview lasts 1 to 2 hours
depending on the memory and speed of
the respondents. The interview goal is a
minimum 80% follow-up completion
rate. During the first two years of followup both 6- and 12-month rates exceeded
85%. Interview data is supplemented by
file studies of arrest records, including
the number of participants maintaining
sealing eligibility, and the number of
criminal records expunged.
Additionally, two focus groups of
clients receiving strengths-based
services will be conducted in each
county at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months
to provide feedback on client
perceptions. Groups will consist of
clients both in compliance and not in
compliance and of case managers for
both experimental and control groups.
Groups will consist of 8 to 12
Number of
respondents
Data collection
participants chosen at random.
Additional file study data will be
gathered on the number of case
management sessions and the number
and frequency of other interventions in
the intent-to-treat and control groups. In
Clermont County the first-time felon
pool is of insufficient size to support an
evaluation design with experimental
and control groups; however, because
the first-time felony substance-abusing
population presents unique
demographics for analysis, e.g. rural,
Caucasian, and greater percentage of
females, examining the relationship of
case management and motivation for
stigma reduction is important. In
Clermont, 150 first-time felons will
participate in a strengths-based case
management model and complete the
evaluation instrument at baseline, 6-,
12-, and 24-month points. Because the
recruitment window was wider than in
Cuyahoga, Clermont participants will
not complete a 36-month instrument. A
case study, including client, key
informant, focus group and file data,
will report the Clermont experience.
This OMB revision provides for
conclusion of data collection by way of
24- and 36-month participant
interviews, 24- and 30-month
participant focus groups, case manager
focus groups, and electronic files that
will inform the Program Restitution and
Rehabilitation Evaluation.
