The Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) is a document created by the Prevention Resource Center (PRC) in Region 4 along with Data Coordinators from PRC's across the State of Texas and is supported by East Texas Council On Alcoholism And Drug Abuse (ETCADA) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). This assessment was designed to aid PRCs, HHSC, and community stakeholders in long-term strategic prevention planning based on the most current information relative to the unique needs of the diverse communities in the State of Texas. A team of Data Coordinators have procured national, state, regional, and local data through the establishment of collaborative partnerships with diverse agencies in all sectors. Secondary qualitative data collection has been conducted in the form of surveys, focus groups, and interviews with key informants. This document presents a summary of statistics relevant to risk and protective factors associated with drug use, as well as consumption patterns and consequences. In addition, it offers insight related to gaps in services and data availability challenges.
