Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Outcome Measures

November 14, 2005 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Outcome MeasuresA Message from the Administrator:Our goal is to achieve a performance environment with true accountability. We are looking at the data we are collecting and asking why we are collecting it. We also asked how we are using it to manage and measure performance. If we are not using the data collected, we are taking steps to stop collecting it. Our emphasis on a limited number of national outcomes and related national outcome measures is built on a history of extensive dialogue with our colleagues in State . . .
