Data Hub
Data is a key driver in decision-making and helps DSAMH understand how its collective work impacts people served. The opioid epidemic has impacted Delaware significantly and DSAMH is focusing efforts to change that impact. DSAMH is using data to help gauge the ongoing need and the effect of efforts.
Provider Map
DSAMH uses maps to better understand indicators of need or impact, such as provider locations and distribution of services. Maps provide an easy way to identify regional differences and the best opportunities to expand or target outreach. The following maps illustrate their usefulness as it relates to provider location and distribution of naloxone kits.

TAP Data
Data related to specific SOR-funded programs is being collected. In the Tier 1 program, the goal is to achieve universal screening; therefore, to better understand the increase in screening, DSAMH is collecting data on the percent of people eligible for a screening who received a screening. Below is the current data (January 2022) related to this goal (see info below). Data is submitted through a web-based survey and will be collated and analyzed to provide information regarding goals met and for future adjustments to TAP to continue to support the SOR grant’s success.

GPRA
The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) provides additional detail as it relates to SOR and other federally funded grants. It is established through federal law and supports SAMSHA in illustrating the need to Congress for ongoing funding. The GPRA requires the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSMAH) to engage in performance management tasks such as setting goals, measuring results, and reporting progress. The GPRA is a series of questions asked of individuals seeking treatment services, at their intake, six months and when discharging from treatment. The GPRA can be incorporated into the clinical workflow to support information gathering and assessment as well as the completion of this required activity. The State Opioid Respond (SOR) Grant Requires the collection of the GPRA when treatment services are funded by the SOR grant. SOR providers are required to submit GPRA’s on a bi-weekly basis. Please contact DSAMH’s research and evaluation unit to schedule training or answer questions.
The SOR Grant’s target for completed GPRA’s for a client’s served is: 5,000 unduplicated clients over a two-year period.
Please fill out this online form to request GPRA training – Training Request Form.
