Which term describes data that already exists and is maintained by organizations like Highway Patrol and Health Services for AOD-related issues?

  1. Archival Data

  2. Best Practices

  3. Capacity

  4. Coalitions

The correct answer is: Archival Data

Archival data refers to data that has already been collected and is maintained by various organizations, such as Highway Patrol and Health Services, specifically for addressing issues related to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (AOD). This data is reliable and can provide valuable insights into past trends and patterns that can inform the current and future strategies and practices to combat these issues. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly describe existing and maintained data. Best Practices refer to evidence-based methods or processes that have been proven to be effective. Capacity refers to the resources, skills, and abilities of an organization to carry out its objectives. Coalitions refer to groups or organizations that join forces to achieve common goals, rather than maintaining data.
