Welcome to Kentucky’s Data Warehouse for Substance Abuse Prevention
The purpose of this site is to make
data more accessible to enable better decision making. Our intent is that program
managers and prevention staff throughout
Kentucky will be able to access
comprehensive data to inform their decisions and bring about a more cost-effective
utilization of resources in the prevention of substance abuse.
What data are available?
This website brings together a wide range of data related to alcohol, tobacco, and
other drugs (ATOD). Initially, these data were gathered as part of an epidemiological
analysis of drug and alcohol use and abuse required by a five to seven year grant
from the federal Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) of the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Each year, these data will be
updated and enhanced.
More specifically,
the data have been gleaned from numerous public domain sources such as state information
systems in social services, mental health, public health, education, and the like;
the State Data Center at the University of Louisville; KIDS Count (Annie E. Casey
Foundation); the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); the U.S. Census
Bureau; the Kentucky State Police; the Kentucky Department of Education; the Kentucky
Center for School Safety; the University of Kentucky’s Agricultural Extension Office;
REACH of Louisville; and similar sources. Bringing all of these resources together
in one spot enables substance abuse prevention planners and evaluators to work with
the data in a more efficient manner.
The data warehouse
can serve as a powerful tool
for state, regional, and local community leaders, policymakers, service providers,
parents and others who want to review data and obtain a clearer perspective about
the factors that contribute to substance abuse in Kentucky .
There are currently 277 data indicators accessible on this website.
