  7. State Government Agencies “Very Involved” in EUDL (cont.) N = 49

  8. Local Organizations “Very Involved” in EUDL N = 49

  9. Other Groups “Very Involved” in EUDL N = 49

  10. Types of Interventions (No. of States “Very Involved”) N = 40-50

  11. Additional Interventions (No. of States “Very Involved”) (N= 50)

  12. Interventions Funded with Local EUDL Grants 2001 Local Project Director Survey (N = 211)

  13. Local Agency Focus on Underage DrinkingBefore and After Receiving EUDL Funding (N = 72 – 125)

  14. Perceived Obstacles N = 50

  15. Themes • Galvanized Activity and New Relationships • Increased Enforcement • Youth Behavior – Any Change? • Best and Most Promising Practices

  16. Enforcement Activities (No. of States “Very Involved”) • Compliance Checks - 35 States • Cops in Shops– 22 States • Shoulder Tap program – 16 States N = 49-50

  17. Target of Enforcement Intervention (No. of States “Very Involved”) N = 49-50

  18. Impact Evaluation: Analysis Design Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Round 1 Communities (104) 1999 Data Collection 2000 Data Collection 2001 Data Collection Round 2 Communities (38) 2000 Data Collection 2001 Data Collection 2002 Data Collection

  19. Median Number of Compliance Checks P-value = 0.030 N (Comparison) = 76 N (Intervention) = 105 Year 1 Year 2

  20. Median Number of “Cops in Shops” Operations P-value = 0.005 N (Comparison) = 39 N (Intervention) = 68 Year 1 Year 2

  21. Median Number of Arrests for Purchase, Possession, or Use of Alcohol P-value = 0.049 N (Comparison) = 88 N (Intervention) = 81 Year 1 Year 2

  22. Other Enforcement Findings: No Statistically Significant Changes • Shoulder Tap Program • Monitoring/patrolling parking lots • Tracing alcohol source • Citations/arrests for false ID • Citations/fines/license suspension of businesses

  23. Percentage of Agencies Reporting Strong Local Support for Underage Drinking Efforts P-value = 0.610 Odds Ratio = 0.82 N (Comparison) = 200 N (Intervention) = 207 Year 1 Year 2

  24. Themes • Galvanized Activity and New Relationships • Increased Enforcement • Youth Behavior – Any Change? • Best and Most Promising Practices

  25. Alcohol Consumption in the Past 30 Days P-value = 0.662 Odds Ratio = 0.94 N (Comparison) = 2410 N (Intervention) = 2370 Year 1 Year 2

  26. Other Youth Behavior Findings: No Statistically Significant Changes • Past 7 day alcohol consumption • Binge drinking • Drinking and driving • Attempts to purchase alcohol • Perception of alcohol use among peers • Consequences of alcohol use

  27. Why do Program Evaluations Seldom Detect an Impact on Behaviors? • Delayed, Incomplete, or Failed Program Implementation • Flawed Program Theory • Short Intervention Period • Secular Trends • Competing Programs • Non-comparable Intervention and Comparison Groups • Measurement Error • Use of Wrong Measures • Inadequate Statistical Power Adapted from Lipsey and Cordray, 2000

  28. Themes • Galvanized Activity and New Relationships • Increased Enforcement • Youth Behavior - No Solid Evidence of Change • Best and Most Promising Practices

  29. Expert Survey Methods • Literature review identified experts in UAD research • Practitioner experts were identified using snowball sampling techniques • Web based survey • N = 40 • Response rate = 75%

  30. Analysis Empirical Evidence Larger Quantity Smaller Quantity High Perceived Effectiveness Not High

  31. Findings: Best Practices

  32. Findings: Promising Practices

  33. Findings: Promising Practices

  34.
