and Need for Treatment Services.
Select a county from the map or list:
The WANAHS was a statewide survey of 6,713 adult household
residents designed to measure the prevalence of substance use and the need for
substance abuse treatment. Data were collected from February 2003
through February 2004. Funding was provided by a grant from the
Federal Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. These data update a
previous survey conducted in 1993-94.
The
Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS)
Research and Data Analysis Division conducted the project on behalf
of the DSHS Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse.
The WANAHS over
sampled young adults, minorities, and lower-income populations to
facilitate demographic analysis. The WANAHS sample was weighted to
U.S. Census data to provide direct statewide estimates of substance
use and the need for substance abuse treatment services.
County-level estimates are derived from a synthetic estimation
process. This process is explained in greater detail in the county
reports.
