Welcome to the State of Idaho    
Substance Abuse Social Indicators Web Page        

This site contains archival social indicator data sets within Idaho relevant to statewide and regional substance abuse and dependence. When complete, it will be the most comprehensive database in the state and will include trend data since 1992.

Use Prevention Variables (right) for assessing variables related directly for providing, designing, researching, and evaluating substance abuse prevention programs.  Use  Treatment Variables (left) for accessing variables related to substance abuse treatment programs.  Many of the variables overlap between treatment and prevention.  

The project is headed by Dr. Steven E. Meier, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Idaho, in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.  Contact Dr. Meier for discussion of all data, or for discussion regarding the development of large scale statistical web sites for governmental agencies or industry.
