Assessment Check In

1. What good things have you learned about your community as a result of your assessment efforts?

2. What has been challenging?

3. What resources or allies did you discover during this process?

4. Which allies are not currently present?

In your communities, answer the following questions:

Intervening Variables Review

Community Activity:

• Groups will get an envelope that has Intervening Variables and examples of Intervening Variables.

• Match the examples with the correct Intervening Variable.

Intervening Variables Review

Easy Retail Access

• Lack of compliance checks

• High number of alcohol outlets

Low Enforcement

• Low number of sobriety check points

• Alcohol is being sold to intoxicated patrons

Intervening Variables Review

Social Access• Parents host house parties• Keg parties near college campuses

Low Perceived Risk• The person who drinks the least is the safest

driver• People believe there is no police patrol in certain

areas

Intervening Variables Review

Social Norms• Freshmen in college believe they are expected

to drink every weekend• Every celebration has alcohol

Promotion• The Tecate softball tournament gives a 6 pack to

anyone who hits a homerun• Every other add on the radio is for club-18 to

enter 21 to drink

Intervening Variables Review

Discount Pricing

• Happy hours offer $2.00 pitchers

• Buy 16oz. Beer for the price of a 12oz.

Capacity• Mobilization of resources within a

geographic area.

• Convening key stakeholders, coalitions, and service providers to plan and implement sustainable prevention efforts

• Mobilization includes financial and organizational resources in addition to forming partnerships.

CapacityOther considerations:

•Community Readiness

•Cultural Competence

•Leadership

All are strengthened by education and training

Capacity Benchmarks

• Partnerships– Continuation and creation of new ones– MOAs (memorandums of agreement)– Directory

• Education and training sessions

• Meetings and workshops with key stakeholders

Capacity and the SPF SIG

Our Logic Model is data driven.

• Who, When and Where of consequence

• Use patterns

• Surveys, questionnaires, focus groups of Intervening Variables.

Capacity and the SPF SIG

Capacity is built around the logic model.

To create effective prevention , looking at the logic model, where does capacity need to be centered?

Answer: INTERVENING VARIABLES

Prevention as a System

system:

1. Any organized assembly of resources and procedures united and regulated by interaction or interdependence to accomplish a set of specific functions.

2. A collection of personnel, equipment, and methods organized to accomplish a set of specific functions.

Prevention as a System

What would a comprehensive, united, prevention system look like using this logic model?

Answer: One that addresses each Intervening Variable.

Each community will build capacity around Intervening Variables.

Prevention as a System

What is the goal of the prevention system we want to create in our communities with the SPF SIG?

Answer: Reduce the rate of 15-24 year olds involved in fatal alcohol-related vehicle

crashes.

PromotionSocial Norms Social Access

Easy Retail Access

Low Perceived Risk

Low Enforcement

Low Prices

Substance Use

15-24 year olds involved in alcohol-related vehicle crashes and crash fatalities

What has your data shown you?

1. For each Intervening Variable, map out the issues, trends, and behaviors (constructs) you have identified in your community through your assessments.

2. Use the handouts on Page 5-7

What has your data shown you?

Easy Retail Access

High density of alcohol outlets

Sunday sales

What has your data shown you?

1. For each Intervening Variable, map out the issues, trends, and behaviors (constructs) you have identified in your community through your assessments.

2. Use the handouts on Page 5-7

Where is your system now?1. For each Intervening Variable, identify

resources currently actively involved (pg.8-14).

2. Refer to the maps you created based on your data as guides.

3. This will be used for the following reasons:

• Inventory of current stakeholders

• Identifying gaps

4. Use the handout on pg. 16 to list gaps

Easy RETAIL ACCESS to Alcohol for youth

Low ENFORCEMENT of alcohol laws

Easy SOCIAL ACCESS to Alcohol

Low PERCEIVED RISK of alcohol use or drinking and driving

SOCIAL NORMS accepting and/or encouraging youth drinking

PROMOTION of alcohol use (advertising, movies, music, etc)

Low or discount PRICING of alcohol

Community Prevention System

Community Readiness:

The capacity of a community to implement programs, policies and other changes that are designed to reduce the likelihood of substance use.

Community Readiness

Why is it important to know a community’s readiness level?

•Helps identify where capacity needs improvement.

•Gauges community attitudes

•Serves as a catalyst for change

Community Readiness

Is determined by:1. Identifying the issue• 15-24 year olds involved in alcohol related

crashes

2. Define the community

3. Conduct interviews

4. Develop strategies based on level of readiness and conduct workshops or trainings to increase readiness.

Community Readiness

•9 Stages of Community ReadinessPage 18

•Strategies to Increase ReadinessPage 19-20

During the capacity phase, we will want to focus on the assessment.

Community Readiness

County Level Data

1. Review the county level readiness survey results.

2. Identify and record potential resources for each Intervening Variable (pg.8-14) and gaps (pg.16).

County Level Readiness Survey

• What information from this survey was beneficial?

• How will this worksheet be useful?

• Questions or concerns?

Community Readiness

Community Activity

1. Answer: What cultural considerations do we need to take into account when assessing community readiness?

2. Record on Flip Chart

3. Report to larger group

Community and Intervening Variables

Community Activity:

1. Refer to pg.21

2. Examine Social Access by identifying everyone that has an impact on that Intervening Variable, both positive and negative impacts.

3. Will share with other communities

Communities and Intervening Variables

• What are some new ideas you got from this activity?

• How will these worksheets be useful?

• Questions or concerns?

Community and Intervening Variables

These worksheets (pg.21-27) will need to be completed for each Intervening Variable when you go back to your communities.

Addressing Gaps

1. Use page 16 as a guide for identified gaps.

2. List strategies to fill those gaps.– Networking– Win-Win Selling Points– Education sessions

3. Strategies will be shared with other communities.

Strategies to Address Gaps

• How was this activity beneficial?

• How will this worksheet be useful?

• Questions or concerns?
