Behavioral Health Reports and Data

Data and Outcomes Reports

Publicly funded behavioral health services are held to a high standard of quality and effectiveness. As part of this commitment, the Division of Behavioral Health collects data and outcomes related to these services and now shares this information through an interactive, live dashboard that is updated daily.

To enhance transparency and usability, the dashboard allows users to explore data in real time with selectable filters such as fiscal year, admission type, treatment service, survey type, tool type, and provider. This shift supports more dynamic, data-informed decision-making by providers, stakeholders, and the public.

Examples of the outcomes displayed include emotional well-being, daily functioning, housing and employment stability, patterns of substance use, motivation for recovery, satisfaction with services, and use of healthcare resources such as emergency room visits or hospitalizations.

Middle School Methamphetamine Prevention Data

The 2016-2017 National Survey of Drug and Health (NSDUH) reported nearly twice as many of South Dakota’s youth were using methamphetamine compared to the national average. Governor Kristi Noem initiated a school-based meth prevention program in 2019 with the intent to decrease methamphetamine use among South Dakota’s youth. Beginning in 2019, prevention providers statewide received funds to facilitate evidence-based substance use prevention programming in South Dakota middle schools.
