Study details racial/ethnic disparities in CD treatment outcomes
African Americans and American Indians are less likely than other groups to complete treatment for chemical dependency. These groups achieve completion rates comparable to whites, however, when treated in facilities in which 25 percent to 75 percent of clients share their racial classification, according to a study released by the Department of Human Services. The study, "Racial/Ethnic Differences in Treatment for Substance Abuse and Dependence in Minnesota," also found that referring patients from these groups to housing and support groups may contribute to reducing disparities.

The annual Minnesota County Human Service Cost Report for Calendar Year 2008 is available on DHS’ public Web site. The report, compiled by the Financial Operations Division, contains statewide and county-specific costs and revenue shares for economic support, health and social service programs.

Budget information, fact sheets available online
Information about the 2010-2011 biennial budget is available on the Minnesota Management & Budget’s Web site.

Web site available for bulk orders of preprinted DHS documents
Counties, tribes, health care providers and others who order DHS documents now have a new Web site to order preprinted forms. Customers can now access the order fulfillment Web site off the eDocs forms and documents repository on DHS’ public Web site.
