Description: This report presents the results of the 2004/2005 Minnesota Treatment Needs Assessment Survey conducted for DHS by the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Division of Health Services Research and Policy. The primary objective of this project is to obtain current estimates of the number of adults in the general population in Minnesota who are abusing or dependent on alcohol or other drugs and are in need of treatment. The prevalence of substance abuse and dependence and need for treatment were assessed for the total population, and by region, race and ethnicity, gender, age group, and immigration status (US born vs. foreign born).  The population for this survey included Minnesota residents 18 years of age or older and non-institutionalized.  The study was conducted between October 2004 and June 2005, and involved a random digit dial telephone survey with 16,891 adults in Minnesota.
