  13. Breakdown of Strategies

  14. Community Mobilization/Key Leaders

  15. Under-utilized Sectors • Faith • Healthcare professionals • Business community • Youth serving organizations

  16. Engage Sectors • Faith – make contact with them to utilize their newsletters and weekly bulletins as ways to distribute information to community members including parents and youth. Faith community could be used to create more drug-free alternatives for youth. • Healthcare – utilize their expertise to reinforce information about the risks of using alcohol to youth and parents. Healthcare could also be educated on using the SBIRT method with patients.

  17. Engage Sectors • Business – Coalition will educate business partners about the impact of evidence based strategies and ask for their support in sustaining efforts after grant funds end.

  18. Community Readiness/Awareness Change • City councils understand the impact of availability of alcohol as a risk factor that increases usage rates. They are now willing to enforce training and compliance with local retailers. • Law enforcement and local judges view social hosting as a strong influencing factor and are not willing to offer diversion as a consequence. • There is an increase in collaboration among law enforcement to better serve the rural nature of Linn County in addressing underage drinking.

  19. Next Steps • Data – comprehensive strategies including education, media, enforcement, and policy. • Factors/Next Steps – Social hosting or furnishing of alcohol is one variable the coalition has not met. A committee has identified strategies including surveillance, controlled buys, party patrols and enforcement as methods to address this factor.

  20. Most Proud of… • The establishment of the Education Prevention Fund to sustain the curriculum in the schools. • Increased number of saturation patrols • Decrease of 30-day use and binge drinking that exceeded targeted objectives

  21. Lesson Learned… • It is best to have sectors on board before you begin • If you don’t get the answer you want find a way to get what is best for the youth by making it happen. • You need to have policy, practice and programs in place in order to move data.
