MATTHEW ARCHIBALD, PH.D. Senior Research Associate

Based out of the firm’s South Portland, Maine office, Matthew Archibald has served as the lead evaluator for a number of behavioral health and correction system evaluations since joining the HZA in the summer of 2016. For a training initiative designed to better prepare teachers and others who work with youth and young adults to identify individuals’ mental health needs and provide guidance and support, Dr. Archibald analyzed the pre-post training surveys which are used to measure the impact of the training program and prospective outreach to youth. He oversaw the completion of an assessment and capacity building exercise for an initiative which focuses on opioid prevention strategies in Maine which were later used to develop a strategic plan to address needs at the statewide level. Using data from a program specific case management system in conjunction with data from Maine’s court case management system, he measured the rates of recidivism for two projects, one which focuses on addressing the needs of juveniles with trauma backgrounds and a second which involves the provision of enhanced supervision to probationers. Much of his work to date has been completed to support Maine’s federal reporting requirements.

For more than 15 years, Dr. Archibald has been a researcher and professor of sociology at various universities across the country. He has presented widely and authored a number of articles and reports covering issues of self-help, access to health care, HIV vaccine utilization, racial disparities in health care, substance abuse prevention and treatment and juvenile delinquency, among others. He earned his doctoral degree in Sociology in 2002 from the University of Washington. NEEDS ASSESSMENT

From Delaware Opioid Needs and Gap Assessment Proposal – January 2017

Matthew Archibald, Ph.D., Project Manager

Matthew Archibald is currently directing several Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded evaluations. These include a system of care grant with the youth division of Maine’s Department of Corrections, as well as a Partnerships for Success grant and a Strategic Prevention Framework Rx (SPF Rx) grant, both for the Disease Prevention/Tobacco and Substance Use Prevention and Control division within Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services. The focus of SPF Rx and Dr. Archibald’s work is to increase the number of citizens living safe, healthy and productive lives by reducing the number of individuals addicted to opiates across the State of Maine, focusing on Mainers ages 12 and older as well as on medical and pharmaceutical providers. In the first phase of the project, he is leading the development of a strategic plan using data from multiple sources including federal and state data sets, helping to shape these complex datasets into easily digestible information for a multi-faceted group of substance abuse treatment and prevention specialists.

Dr. Archibald has led and coordinated large-scale, complex projects that address theoretical and socially relevant questions about the nature of health and healthcare in the United States, primarily behavioral health (mental health and substance use and abuse), as well as HIV/AIDS. His work has included project development, as well as coordination of research in which he provided training, supervision and guidance to team members and stakeholders. While grounded in the sociological tradition, his research has reached and includes stakeholders in disciplines including mental health, substance abuse treatment, public health, social services, medicine and business. His methods cover the range of covariance techniques, including spatial and structural equation modeling, longitudinal analyses and survival models for numerical data and institutional ethnographies and actor-network analyses for field research.

He has more than 30 years of experience in corrections, substance abuse and public health research and has authored two dozen books, book chapters, and peer-reviewed articles on these topics. Especially relevant to this proposal for use of a social indicators approach to treatment provision, need and utilization are: "Exploring the Reciprocal Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment Provision and Area Substance Abuse" (Pp. 353-368) in Yonette F. Thomas, Douglas Richardson and Ivan Cheung (Eds.). Geography and Drug Addiction. New York: Springer) and "Socioeconomic and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Substance Abuse Treatment Provision, Treatment Needs and Utilization" (Research in the Sociology of Health Care 25:171-200), both published in 2008. Prior to his work with HZA, Dr. Archibald was a Research Analyst for the Office of the Commissioner of Probation in Massachusetts and has held numerous teaching and research positions including receipt of a research grant to provide resources, training and technical assistance to an addiction services agency, The Atlanta Harm Reduction Center, for which he served as Principal Investigator.

Dr. Archibald received a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts and went on to earn his M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Washington, Seattle.

From Alabama Prevention Evaluator Services Proposal – January 2017

Matthew Archibald, Ph.D., Lead Evaluator Dr. Archibald is a Senior Research Associate at HZA and leads its substance abuse prevention and treatment evaluations. He exemplifies the qualities requested in Alabama’s RFP.

Designing and conducting evaluations: For more than 15 years, Dr. Archibald has been a researcher and professor of Sociology at various universities across the country. His publications have covered issues of self-help, access to health care, HIV vaccine utilization, racial disparities in health care, substance abuse prevention and treatment and juvenile delinquency, among others. He has led and coordinated large-scale, complex evaluations that address theoretically and socially relevant questions about the nature of health and healthcare in the US, primarily regarding mental health and substance use and abuse. His work includes project development, questionnaire and evaluation instrument preparation and administration, as well as coordination of research in which Dr. Archibald has provided training, supervision and guidance to team members and stakeholders. He has worked with diverse target populations and his analysis methods cover a range of covariance techniques including spatial and structural equation modeling, longitudinal analyses and survival models, for numerical data, and, institutional ethnographies and actor-network analyses for field research.

Formative and summative evaluations: Since joining HZA, Dr. Archibald has led several SAMHSA-funded evaluations. These include a system of care grant with the youth division of Maine’s Department of Corrections, as well the Partnerships for Success grant, described earlier, with the Maine CDC. Dr. Archibald is also working on a Strategic Prevention Framework Rx (SPF Rx) grant for the Disease Prevention/Tobacco and Substance Use Prevention and Control division within Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services. Using data from a variety of sources, including quantitative (e.g., NSDUH, BRFSS, New England Poison Control and TEDS, among others) and qualitative data (e.g., interviews with advisory board members and key stakeholders, literature reviews), he is spearheading the development of a strategic plan which will serve to increase the number of citizens living safe, healthy and productive lives by reducing the number of individuals addicted to opiates in Maine. His analytical skills will be used to reduce complex datasets to easily digestible information by a multi-faceted group of substance abuse treatment and prevention specialists. HZA’s formative evaluation efforts of the SPF Rx grant will focus on reducing high-risk drinking among 12-20 year olds and reducing prescription drug abuse and marijuana use among 12-25 year olds and examine evidence-based environmental strategies and programs implemented across the state to be delivered by community prevention coalitions. Within the PFS grant, he has been a part of the collaboration between Maine’s nine Public Health districts, the state, and the communities to develop resources and implement strategies to help these populations.

Sound and reliable information: His many publications demonstrate his ability to generate sound and reliable information. Examples of his publications range from the study of density-dependent processes shaping the field of support groups, 1950-2000, discussed in The Evolution of Self- Help (Archibald, 2007) to multilevel models investigating community interventions identifying HIV risk (Frew, Archibald, et al, 2015). He has worked on studies and strategies to connect minority communities with local institutions such as the Hope Clinic, the CDC and Emory University (Frew, Archibald, Hixson & del Rio, 2011; Frew, Archibald, et al, 2010). In 2008 and 2009, he received a research grant to provide resources, training and technical assistance to an addiction services agency, The Atlanta Harm Reduction Center, for which he served as Principal Investigator. For the analyses of addiction service provision, he has used a social indicator approach. This usually involves analysis of time series and spatial data (Archibald & Rankin, 2013; Archibald & Rankin, 2013a). Many of his models are based on assessment of organizational structures and processes (Archibald, 2004).

Conducting presentations and facilitating training: As a college professor, Dr. Archibald has extensive experience presenting information both in classroom settings and in professional settings at conferences and before clients. He also has led training and technical assistance sessions for addiction services and teachers working with young adults to identify mental health needs.
