Evidence-based interventions have been implemented within penal institutions to reduce the propensity of postrelease reoffending across states. Traditional program evaluations explore these interventions and demonstrate treatment effects most often for a single specific intervention. Although this process supports the doctrine of evidence-based research, little is known of the joint effects of multiple program assignments. The current study examines the treatment effects of sequence combinations of institutional programs on recidivism outcomes. Results demonstrate that correctional clients experienced incremental improvements when receiving more than two interventions compared with those who participated in a standalone intervention. Those who participated in three types of treatment combinations consisting of basic skills, vocational training, and cognitive behavioral treatment were more likely to reduce postrelease reconvictions.

已经在刑事机构内实施了循证干预措施，以减少各州释放后重新犯罪的倾向。传统的项目评估探索这些干预措施，并最常展示单个特定干预措施的治疗效果。虽然这个过程支持循证研究的学说，但对多个项目分配的联合影响知之甚少。当前的研究检查了机构计划的序列组合对累犯结果的治疗效果。结果表明，与参加独立干预的人相比，接受两次以上干预的受训者经历了渐进式的改善。参加基本技能、职业培训、
