From the DDATA Charter:

The Delaware Drug and Alcohol Tracking Alliance (DDATA) is the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup for Delaware. It functions as a collaborative body of representatives of State agencies, community organizations, Statewide non-profits, Universities, and Federal partners.  The mission of the DDATA is threefold:

• To create and implement a systematic process for gathering, reviewing, analyzing and integrating data that will delineate a comprehensive and accurate picture of State substance-related consumption patterns and consequences;

• To inform and guide substance abuse prevention policy, program development, and evaluation in the State; and

• To disseminate information to State and community agencies, to targeted decision-makers, and to the Delaware public.
