Database Description:

This database abstracts articles related to public sector health and behavioral health services from over 150 national, State, and local newspapers, trade newsletters, professional journals, national and State reports, and SAMHSA Tracking staff interviews with key informants. Information is compiled and updated every two weeks and reported in State Behavioral Health Headlines (SBHH). The database can be searched by key word, State, or SBHH issue. It includes information from May 1999 to the present. We hope that this information will help alert policymakers, consumers, providers, and other stakeholders about emerging trends in public sector behavioral health services.

The information in this database does not reflect the official position of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or any corporate position of the contractor, ABT Associates.
