Research & Analysis
Office of Applied Research and Analysis
The mission of the Office of Applied Research and Analysis (OARA) is to direct, conduct, and support applied research and evaluation, quantitative estimates and forecasts, and dissemination of alcohol and other drug information to the Department, control agencies, and other government agencies. OARA pursues this mission through its science-based research expertise and active partnerships with program divisions within the Department.
Under state and federal law protecting the privacy of persons receiving AOD treatment, ADP may not release individual level data. However, some data may be available if the requirements meet state and federal privacy laws. Requests for public data (i.e., statewide-level aggregated data) require submission via Research Services Request. Requests for statewide-level, aggregated information can be satisfied in most cases, provided the scope of the request is reasonable.
