Goals of the Epidemiological Profile
•
Prevention planners and practitioners use
epidemiological profiles to understand and
prioritize the substance-related problems in
their states and communities and increase
awareness of these problems.
•
Need to make it a comprehensive substance
use and
mental health
mental health
report.
–
Mental health data is often not included

Data/Reporting Overlap
•
SAMHSA Epidemiological Profile for Block Grant
•
Certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHC)
needs assessment to identify community needs and
determine program capacity to address the needs of
the population being served. It can help identify
current conditions and desired services or outcomes. A
needs assessment should be objective and include
input from consumers, program staff, and other key
community stakeholders.
•
Coalition Behavioral Health Reports
•
Data to support the MPAC needs

Quantitative vs. Qualitative
•
Quantitative data
Quantitative data
is described in numbers and shows how often
something occurs or to what degree a phenomenon exists.
Quantitative data measures levels of behavior and trends. It is
objective, standardized, and easily analyzed, and is easily
comparable to similar data from other communities. Examples of
quantitative data include statistics, survey data, records, and
archival data.
•
Qualitative data
Qualitative data
is described in words and explains why people
behave or feel the way they do. This type of data answers “Why?”
“Why not?” or “What does it mean?” Qualitative data is subjective
and explanatory and helps interpret quantitative data by allowing
insight into behavior trends and perceptions. Examples of
qualitative data include focus groups, key informant interviews,
case studies, storytelling, and observations.

Epidemiological profiles play a crucial role in substance abuse and mental health planning, helping professionals prioritize issues and raise awareness. The profiles include quantitative and qualitative data to analyze behavioral risk factors, consumption patterns, and clinical outcomes, sourced from various surveys and reports. By understanding this data, practitioners can identify community needs and tailor programs to address them effectively.
