Review of the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services National Minimum Data Set

The purpose of this Review of the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services National Minimum Data Set (AODTS-NMDS) was to assess the collection as an information source for alcohol and other drug services policy; assess data gaps; and, propose options for future development within the collection. The review has highlighted the importance of a comprehensive, robust and consistent data collection about alcohol and other treatment. The AODTS-NMDS remains a key component of the data toolbox available to inform government, service provision and the public on alcohol and other drug issues in Australia.
