2002 State of Missouri Substance Abuse
Prevention Needs Assessment
The Department of
Mental Health, Divison of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, under the
direction of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP),
conducted a formal assessment of Missouri's prevention
needs. The Prevention Needs Assessment consisted of
four research-based studies, each with a specific focus and
objective. The purpose of the studies was to provide a
framework of data and procedures to inform planning
decisions. The data will assist prevention planners
and policy makers with indentifying high-risk populations,
justifying the approaches selected, and assessing the
effectiveness of those efforts.
The Missouri
Prevention Needs Assessment also provides data for the
indetification of populations and geographic areas at
greatest risk for substance abuse problems. The
following is a description and geographic areas at greatest
risk for substance abuse problems. The following is a
description and purpose of the four studies.
