[SAMHDA Announcements] Updated concatenated TEDS file released

[SAMHDA-Announcements]

The concatenated Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) file now includes data 
for 1992-2000. Due to the large size of this file (14.3 million records and 
2.3 gigabytes), it is only available on the online data analysis system 
(DAS) and Quick Tables. The previous concatenated file included data for 
1995-2000. Also, the archival and DAS version of each TEDS file now 
includes the latest extract available, 100% of all records, flag variables 
such as IV drug use, and expanded values for certain variables such as race 
and ethnicity. TEDS files are available from the following page:
