Abstract

The State Systems Development Program of the US Center for Substance Abuse Treatment supports needs assessment studies conducted through state authorities. This article reports results of a social indicator study funded through this program of alcohol and other drug dependence (AODD) treatment needs specific to communities in Chicago, Illinois. Purposes of study analyses were: identify theoretical factors underlying a large set of social indicators, determine degree to which resultant factor scale scores predict community resident admissions to publicly-funded AODD treatment, and explore usefulness of factor scale scores in grouping communities into planning regions. Cautions and limitations in interpretation of results are discussed.
