that will create a safe and fun learning environment for todays
training? Slide 4 4 Slide 5 5 Strategic Prevention Framework Goals
Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse.
Reduce substance abuse related problems Build capacity and
infrastructure Infuse data across all planning steps Slide 6 6 Key
Principles of the SPF Core Values: Cultural Competency
Sustainability Public health model Outcomes-based prevention Slide
7 7 Public Health Triad Slide 8 8 Capacity Training Objectives
Explain capacity as it relates to the consequence logic model.
Explain what a prevention system addressing Intervening Variables
and substance use associated with identified consequence looks
like. Describe community readiness. Identify stake holders
necessary to implement environmental strategies. Map existing
system and identify who needs to be included. Slide 9 9 Assessment
Review Directions: 1.In your group, unscramble the logic model and
put it in its correct order using the consequence logic. 2.Find the
correct definition that matches up with each column. 3.Put examples
under the correct column. Slide 10 10 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? In your
communities, answer the following questions: Slide 11 11 Capacity
Resources Assessment 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. Slide 12 12 Capacity Other considerations:
Community Readiness Cultural Competence Leadership All are
strengthened by education and training Slide 13 13 Capacity
Benchmarks Partnerships Continuation and creation of new ones MOAs
(memorandums of agreement) Directory Education and training
sessions Meetings and workshops with key stakeholders Development
of a resource assessment document Slide 14 14 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. Slide 15 15 Prevention as a System What would a
comprehensive, united, prevention system look like using the
consequence logic model? Answer: One that addresses each
Intervening Variable. Each community will build capacity around
Intervening Variables, specifically contributing factors. Slide 16
16 Capacity and the SPF Our Logic Model is data driven:
Identification of consequence Use patterns that are linked to the
consequence Surveys, questionnaires, focus groups of Intervening
Variables to identify contributing factors. Slide 17 17 Low
Enforcement Lack of Sobriety Check Points Sales to Intoxicated
People DWI convictions result in Minimum consequence Slide 18 18
Individual Level Factors Social Norms Social Access Easy Retail
Access Low Perceived Risk Low Enforcement Low Prices Substance Use
Substance Abuse Related Consequence Slide 19 19 Mapping A Community
Prevention System Directions: 1.Create a logic model using the data
you collected during the assessment phase. 2.Record the consequence
you selected. 3.Record the substance use patterns that are linked
to that consequence. 4.Record your Intervening Variables and their
contributing factors. Slide 20 20 Where is your system now?
Directions: 1.For each contributing factor for your Intervening
Variables, identify resources currently actively involved
(pg.12-16). 2.Use the handouts on pgs. 17-20 to list gaps. This
will be used for the following reasons: Inventory of current
stakeholders Identifying gaps Slide 21 21 Contributing Factor:
Parents providing to children and their friends Contributing
Factor: Law Enforcement Parents Page 15-18: Record Gaps Intervening
Variable: Social Access Slide 22 22 Where is your system now?
Directions: 1.For each contributing factor for your Intervening
Variables, identify resources currently actively involved
(pg.12-16). 2.Use the handouts on pgs. 17-20 to list gaps. This
will be used for the following reasons: Inventory of current
stakeholders Identifying gaps Slide 23 23 Where is your system now?
How will this activity be beneficial in your prevention efforts?
How can you use this information? Questions or concerns? Slide 24
24 Community Readiness The capacity of a community to implement
programs, policies and other changes that are designed to reduce
the likelihood of substance use. Slide 25 25 Community Readiness
Why is it important to know a communitys readiness level? Helps
identify where capacity needs improvement. Gauges community
attitudes Serves as a catalyst for change Slide 26 26 Community
Readiness Is determined by: 1.Identifying the issue Substance abuse
related consequence 2.Define the community 3.Conduct interviews
4.Develop strategies based on level of readiness and conduct
workshops or trainings to increase readiness. Slide 27 27 Community
Readiness Review: 9 Stages of Community Readiness Strategies to
Increase Readiness Slide 28 28 Community Readiness Directions:
1.Review the stage of readiness assigned to your group. 2.Make up a
realistic scenario that describes that stage (use examples of
events, peoples attitudes to those events etc..) 3.Review
strategies to improve the stage you were given. 4.Using suggested
strategies, develop strategies you would use to improve the
communitys level of readiness. Slide 29 29 Community Readiness
County Level Data 1. Review the county level readiness survey
results. 2. If you are interested in downloading the file go to:

Community Readiness Directions: 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 Slide 31 31 Addressing Gaps Directions: 1.Use pgs. 17-20 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. Slide 32 32 Capacity
Training Objectives Explain capacity as it relates to the
consequence logic model. Explain what a prevention system
addressing Intervening Variables and substance use associated with
identified consequence looks like. Describe community readiness.
Identify stake holders necessary to implement environmental
strategies. Map existing system and identify who needs to be
included. Slide 33 33 Evaluation Final thoughts or concerns? Please
