L’objectif
The aim of the present study was to explore how research was used in United States federal legislation that emphasized SU/SUD prevention.
Constatations/points à retenir
In the US Congress, substance use and substance use disorder prevention bills that use research language appear to be more likely to progress in the legislative cycle than bills that do not, suggesting that legislation using research may be viewed as more credible.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Using a mixed-methods approach, we assessed whether the use of research predicted a bill's legislative progress. We randomly sampled 10 bills that represented different types of research keywords to examine how research was used in these bills, applying content analysis.
