The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Probation/Parole and Reentry Coach Application (PARCA)-a mobile application that allows justice-involved people to set and manage personal goals to support sustained, successful community supervision. Through this study, we aim to conduct surveys and interviews aimed to gain a better understanding of ways to improve the substance use treatment process, connections between clients and officers, and goal selection and achievement for clients using the PARCA app
This study tests a new technological intervention referred to as Probation/Parole and Reentry Coach Application (PARCA). The application uses motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques to engage clients in problem solving by identifying issues, identifying goals, making progress towards the goals, incentivizing clients to achieve the goals, and working towards completion of supervision. Officers can view the goals, progress, and points accumulated to improve supervision outcomes.
