Methodology & Acknowledgements
Methodology
Since 1996, the National RWHAP Part B ADAP Monitoring Project has surveyed all jurisdictions receiving federal ADAP earmark funding through the RWHAP. In FY2023, 58 jurisdictions received ADAP earmark funding and were surveyed; 49 provided data. No fiscal or programmatic data were received from Alabama, Montana, West Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Pacific Island Jurisdictions. Limited programmatic data were received from Alaska and South Dakota. After the survey is distributed, NASTAD conducts extensive follow-up to ensure completion by as many ADAPs as possible.
This release of the Annual Report updates prior findings with data from fiscal year 2023 and calendar year 2023. All data reflect the status of ADAPs as reported by survey respondents. It is important to note that some program information may have changed between data collection and the Annual Report’s release. Due to differences in data collection and availability across ADAPs, some are not able to respond to all survey questions. Where trend data are presented, only states that provided data in the years being compared are included.
Data exceptions specific to a particular jurisdiction are provided in the notes section on relevant charts and tables.
