Statistics on Out-of-Home Services for Emotional or Behavioral Problems Among Youth

Source: Office of Applied Studies

Did you know?

Combined data from 2002 to 2006 indicate that an estimated 2.6 percent of youth aged 12 to 17 reported receiving out-of-home services for emotional or behavioral problems in the past 12 months in a hospital, a residential treatment center, or a foster care or therapeutic foster care setting.

During the past two decades, there have been marked changes in inpatient, residential, and foster care services for children and adolescents with emotional or behavioral problems. For example, the median length of stay for inpatient care fell by more than half from 12.2 days in 1990 to 4.5 days in 2000.

Although there is concern about the negative effects of out-of-home placements on youth with emotional or behavioral problems, these services are sometimes necessary. However, very short stays are a concern as health professionals may not have enough time to effectively evaluate an initial course of treatment.

SAMHSA – Alcohol Use Among Pregnant Women and Recent Mothers

Alcohol Use Among Pregnant Women and Recent Mothers

	Source: Office of Applied Studies Did you know?
	Nearly 16 percent of pregnant women aged 15 to 17 used alcohol in the past month, and they consumed an average of 24 drinks in the past month (i.e., they drank on an average of 6 days during the past month and had an average of about four drinks on the days that they drank).

Prenatal alcohol exposure increases the risk of birth defects, including physical, cognitive, and behavioral disorders. Research also shows a link between alcohol use during pregnancy and increased risk of preterm birth. In 2005-2006, an estimated 11.8 percent of pregnant women aged 15 to 44 reported using alcohol in the past month.

A recent paper based on data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) found that illicit drug, alcohol, and cigarette use was lower among pregnant women, particularly during their second and third trimesters, than among their parenting or nonpregnant counterparts. The study also found indirect evidence of resumption of substance use after pregnancy.

SAMHSA – Nationwide Data on Treatment Admissions for Substance Abuse

Nationwide Data on Treatment Admissions for Substance Abuse

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is issuing the completed version of its latest Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) which provides information on substance abuse treatment admissions from state licensed treatment facilities across the country.

The 2006 TEDS Report is the latest in a series of yearly reports that not only provide overall figures for the Nation, but also break this information down into a wide variety of demographic criteria that can help provide greater perspective on the scope and nature of these problems. This information is designed to help the public health community get a better understanding of the treatment needs they are confronting so that they can work to most effectively address them.
