The State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW)
BodyText1
The mission of the Delaware State Epidemiological
Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) is to bring data on substance use, mental
health and wellness, and shared risk and protective factors to
the forefront of prevention and treatment. Data can be used to highlight
trends (such as opioid use) and emerging issues (for example, "vaping"),
demonstrate needs, and identify groups of people who are at
disproportionate risk for behavioral health concerns. Data is also vital
for evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. Facilitated by the
Center for Drug and Health Studies, the SEOW is a network of
representatives from a broad spectrum of agencies, organizations, and
community groups.
