Note:
The % of need met is [the unique number of served] divided by [the number in need of treatment], Where [the unique number of served] is the distinct count of clients served in DSHS-funded
substance abuse treatment programs during a year, and [the number in need of treatment] is the estimated number of persons with a substance abuse problem and in poverty during a year.
And, [the number in need of treatment] is measured by applying the prevalence rates derived from various surveys to the general population in Texas.
Data Sources:
1. [the unique number of served]: Behavioral Health Integrated Provider System (BHIPS), DSHS.
2. [the number in need of treatment]: (a) Population projections in Texas, (b) National Survey on Drug Use and Health for Texas, and (c) Texas School Survey of Substance Use.

Clients were divided into those who received DSHS Substance Abuse services based on match between DSHS Substance Abuse dataset with Medicaid dataset. Dependent
variable was Total ER costs or dates or service during FY2005. Data sources: DSHS Substance Abuse services = BHIPS, Medicaid ER = TMHP AHQP Claims Universe.
