  1. aMean and % youth served based on agencies directly providing that service
  2. bAnnually
  3. cTotal youth based on youth served by the CS agency
  4. d100% required a Bachelor’s degree
  5. -- indicates the number is too small to estimate reliably
  6. na indicates not asked since the service was not provided directly
  7. Notes: First two columns are not mutually exclusive. “Other External” = neither CS nor BH directly provide the service, but one or both report it is available at an external agency within the county. Not Available/Not Know = both CS and BH report the service is not available in their county or that they do not know. CS = Community Supervision; BH = Behavioral Health
  8. Data are weighted to reflect the estimated national population estimate of the 4,252 primary BH service providers and 3,202 CS agencies in the U.S. between April 2014 and March 2015 and have been adjusted for survey non-response at the state level
