 Admission to Acute Care Hospitals for Adolescent Substance Abuse: a
National Descriptive Analysis
The researchers sought to describe the extent and nature of
adolescent admissions to the acute inpatient setting for substance
abuse. The researchers reviewed data from the year 2000 from the
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 2000 Healthcare Cost and
Utilization Project Kids Inpatient Database. Data for the year
2000s over 2.5 million youth admissions was reported by 2,784
hospitals in 27 states. The researchers evaluated frequency and
percentage of total admissions for demographic and hospital
characteristics for two diagnostic categories: alcohol-related
mental disorders and substance-related mental disorders.
