At the beginning of FFY 2016, the research team held six public meetings throughout the state of Oklahoma to solicit public input and input from partner organizations. These meetings were held in the two major metropolitan areas (Oklahoma City and Tulsa) and in four rural areas identified as being underserved by OKDRS based on an analysis utilizing ArcGIS (geographic information system data mapping) software. The rural meetings were held in the towns of Guymon, Duncan, Pryor, and Poteau. During the remainder of FFY 2016, the research team analyzed the data, developed the findings and conclusions, and recommended potential action strategies. Upon conclusion of the research team’s portion of the project, the Statewide Needs Assessment report was forwarded to the stakeholder team and agency director as specified in the dissemination plan, to be used in preparing the agency state plan.
