  • Project DelAWARE

    The Center for Drug and Health Studies serves as evaluators of Project DelAWARE, a 5-year initiative awarded to the Delaware Department of Education (DOE) by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, US Department of Health and Human Services. In collaboration with the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and their Families, DOE is developing and providing a Multi-tiered Systems of Support framework in partnering school districts. The goals of the project are to: raise awareness of mental health needs among students; educate teachers, administrators, and other school personnel to identify and refer students in need to evidence-based mental health programs; and to provide services to students in school and community-based settings.

    Delaware Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS)

    This annual survey of substance use, delinquency, and risk and protective factors is administered to public school 5th, 8th, and 11th graders. It began in 1989 as a survey conducted by the Delaware Department of Education and has been conducted by the Center since 1995, with initial support from the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention under CSAP evaluation contracts. The survey is developed by CDHS with input from state and community agencies, scanned, analyzed, tabulated, and results disseminated.

    The data provide a sample adequate to provide for analyses at the levels of Statewide

    Planning Area, School District, school (for large schools), and zip code.

    The Delaware Child Psychiatry Access Program (DCPAP)

    The Delaware Child Psychiatry Access Program, conducted by the Delaware Department

    of Services for Children, Youth and their Families, is developing a network of pediatric primary care providers who enlist with the state, or it’s contracted service providers, to receive telehealth consultation and educational services as needed, to provide better

    and more prompt psychiatric treatment for their patients. This may reduce the number

    of children who need to be referred to a child psychiatrist, which often is delayed by six (6) to eight (8) months due to the shortage of child psychiatric practitioners in the state.

    In particular, the project is expected to substantially expand pediatric psychiatric services in the rural areas of Kent and Sussex Counties, both of which are underserved

    and designated health provider shortage areas. The Center for Drug and Health Studies

    is providing project evaluation, which includes needs assessments, enrolled provider surveys, evaluation of training presentations, and analysis of client-level treatment data.

    The project has expanded to offer telehealth psychiatric consultation to providers in emergency, urgent care, and school and school wellness settings.Delaware Youth Tobacco Survey Administration and Analysis (YTS)

    This project is the Delaware public school administration of the Centers for Disease Control and

    Prevention (CDC) Youth Tobacco Survey of middle and high school students. This survey has been

    administered every other year in even numbered years to a random and representative sample of

    both middle and high school students in most states. The study reports data comparable to other

    Center studies on tobacco use and abuse, but it also provides the only statewide youth data on

    attitudes toward tobacco, tobacco marketing, and access to tobacco by youth.

    College Risk Behaviors Study (CRBS)

    The College Risk Behaviors Study (CRBS) is an annual survey administered in collaboration with

    Student Wellness & Health Promotion during the Spring semester to a random sample of full-time

    University of Delaware undergraduates that asks students about drinking, drug use, sexual behavior, and other risky behaviors. Results from this survey are used to support UD programs that improve student health and well-being, inform the University community of student behaviors, promote data-driven decision making, and provide research opportunities to UD students, faculty, and staff.
