DCAR combined the tasks of the prior DACCC and DITIC and was designed to meet SAMHSAs GPRA requirements. The three primary objectives of the DCAR were (1) the development of a web-based data collection and prevention resource system for the collection of program performance and monitoring data of SAMHSA/CSAP grantees and selected contractors; (2) the analysis and reporting of performance data of SAMHSA/CSAP grant programs and selected contracts; and (3) the completion of the national cross-site evaluations of selected SAMHSA/CSAP grant programs. The primary purpose of data analyses for the DCAR was to assess the extent to which SAMHSA/CSAP was meeting its programmatic goals and objectives. The analyses involved measuring actual process and outcome data against established goals and objectives, as well as using national and state trends as benchmarks.
