AIHW - Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services - Closed Treatment Episodes by Source of Referral (Count) (PHN) 2013-2017

Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the number of closed treatment episodes by source of referral. A treatment episode is the period of contact between a client and a treatment provider where there are defined start (commencement) and end (cessation) dates. It is considered closed where any of the following occurs: treatment is completed or has ceased; there has been no contact between the client and treatment provider for 3 months; or there is a change in the main treatment type, principal drug of concern or delivery setting.

The alcohol and other drug treatment services (AODTS) data is based on data reported to the AODTS National Minimum Dataset (NMDS). The data spans the financial years of 2013-2017 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The AODTS data accompanies the Alcohol and other drug treatment services in Australia 2016-17 Report.

Please note:

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the Department of Health - PHN Areas.

  • The PHN of the closed treatment episode was assigned based on the reported postcode of the client using the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) Postal Area 2013 to Primary Health Network 2015 concordance file. Clients with an invalid postcode were assigned to the PHN group 'PHN Unallocated' and removed from the analysis.

  • Treatment episodes are excluded from the AODTS NMDS if they: are not closed in the relevant financial year; are for clients who are receiving pharmacotherapy and not receiving any other form of treatment that falls within the scope of the collection; include only activities relating to needle and syringe exchange; or are for a client aged under 10 years.

  • Source of referral is the source from which the client was transferred or referred to alcohol and other drug treatment service.
