in fact, a lot of the early studies were done through samhsa funding. but now there have been 16 rigorous studies, randomized control trials, the gold standard in drug research. sixteen studies of this evidence-based, supported employment, and every single one of them has shown an advantage to supported employment and helping people get competitive jobs, compared to other approaches, traditional approaches, that include stepwise approaches that involve counseling and transitional employment, and other things. so overall, the employment rate from these studies is about 65 percent for people who enroll in supported, evidence-based supported employment, compared to about 23 percent in comparison groups. the 23 percent is pretty close to the rate that you mentioned earlier for people who receive no services at all. we have a couple of long-term studies. we need more long-term studies. but what is really exciting is that in these two long-term studies, 10 years after they enrolled in this supported employment program, over half of the people who initially en

from samhsa's point of view, our audience is america. we don't have subsets of america to look to, so i-i will collect them-bring them all together. collaboration is the key. if you hear about messaging that will-everything we've been talking about is about messaging. and we-if you could see-this is not a sprint. this a marathon. this is going to take us years to do. but we have to get ready, and to get ready, we need to begin to help collaborate from the federal government where our role can be to help the states and the communities collaborate together. youth, peers, young people that are-are in our recovery and are going to be peers, they-they're far better and their reach is much more when connected with a prevention program. that prevention program can fair far better when connected with a treatment program or the families of treatment that are supporting someone in long-term-in treatment before they get into long-term recovery. and then, lastly, we need to be having a collaborative relationship with insurance companies, with health

for instance, samhsa just sponsored, just finished sponsoring, 9 months' worth of a parental messaged underage drinking in times square. nine full months. we had millions of-of hits on that because every 15 seconds was a message. that was shocking for some to look up in times square and see a message around underage drinking. though every little piece has its part and that's why we do multiple messaging; we're using multiple people with multiple targets. and arthur, the-the messaging, we-we're all talking about we need to message, message, message. what is it that we need to say because there-there're various tiers? for example, there's-you're in a state, you have to work with your legislature or else if you don't get resources, you're not going to get it. you-you're in a state where you need to talk to other policy people because you're trying to sustain a recovery oriented system of care for both mental and substance use disorders that needs to get people coordinated. and what is-what is the primary message? well, i think that there are multiple audiences and that there are multipl

[music playing] the prevention field has really changed in the last 20 years since samhsa has been in existence. we understand much more about prevention science. we also understand that, frankly, children who begin having problems before age 14 are much more likely to have problems as adults. and children who use alcohol before age 21 are much more likely to have problems as adults. so we've also learned that there are risk factors and protective factors. it is not just what happens to a young person that may lead to substance abuse or suicidal thoughts or depression or anxiety but it's also the kinds of protections they have in their family and their community and in their social-in their school and others. it involves multiple parts of the community and all of those things have to come together to assist kids in getting the kind of assistance they need to be the best decisionmakers and be able to manage issues as they go through adolescence and into adulthood. when we look at young people today, we understand that they have an advantage over people in earlier generations. they have
