Story Behind the Curve

Factors pushing up:

  • Increased need for services (increasing rates of substance use disorder, mental health concerns/behaviors of youth in schools)
  • CHI willingness to partner with EH 
  • HRSA grant applied for and approved in 2019 between CHI, Essentia Health - DL, and the Essentia Health Research Institutue as a part of the Midwest Regional Opioid Consortium
  • Expansion of motivational speaking services & public awareness

Factors pushing down: 

  • non-reimbursable service for health insurance
  • competing state funding priorities
  • "soft" measurable outcomes
