The DMHAS Center for Prevention Evaluation and Statistics (CPES) at UConn Health, directed by Megan O’Grady, PhD, Principal Investigator, and coordinated by Jennifer Sussman, MFA, was established to support the Prevention and Health Promotion (PHP) Unit of the CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) in its efforts through the identification, collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of data pertaining to substance abuse prevention, mental health, and health disparities. CPES convenes, supports and chairs the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW), which also acts as CPES Advisory Board. CPES also developed and manages the SEOW Prevention Data Portal, an interactive repository for behavioral health and related data and products.
