| 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. |
| 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. Previously, customers used a fillable DHS form to order department documents. |
