What Is An RNA?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Regional Needs Assessment (RNA)<\/em> is an annual, comprehensive report that examines substance use trends across the region and its constituent counties. Developed in coordination with state agencies and the other regional Prevention Resource Centers (PRCs) across Texas, the RNA provides a structured overview of key risk and protective factors related to substance abuse, along with proxy indicators used to measure substance use and its consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RNA serves as a central resource for a wide range of stakeholders\u2014including policymakers, healthcare professionals, prevention specialists, and the general public\u2014by offering accessible, data-driven insights to guide decision-making, program development, and resource allocation. It also plays a critical role in identifying service gaps at both the county and regional levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
