The 2019 Substance Use Response Plan lacks full compliance with West Virginia Code.

The objective of this review was to determine the status of the Office of Drug Control Policy’s strategic plan. PERD’s analysis of the 2019 Substance Use Response Plan draft found that it does not adequately address the mandated requirements to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use. The goals, strategies, and objectives of the 2019 SPlan lack specific, measurable performance benchmarks with which to gage adequate progress towards meeting the mandate of reducing the prevalence of drug and alcohol abuse and smoking by at least 10 percent.
