How do counties deal with data issues?
Counties will be provided updated versions of the data provided during Phase II from the State Office with anticipated data release on May 1. In addition, the Office of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs is hosting a web-site that links to this multi-agency High Level Outcomes data. This data is available at www.oregon.gov/DHS/addiction/index.shtml. Some data will still only be available at the regional or state level. This is due to measurement processes or size of populations that may impact confidentiality. State agencies that are responsible for the collection of this data are working to find updated measurement tools or processes to better calculate these data sets and increase the level of discrete population data that can be made available. Concerns about specific data elements can be directed to Michael Rindfleisch, OCCF Policy & Data Analyst for further review and interchange with other state agency data staff.
