  2. Agenda • Introductions and Expectations • MSPF Evaluation Overview • Needs Assessment • Capacity Building • Meeting with coalitions • Wrap-up • Evaluation

  3. Training Objectives • Understand MSPF evaluation at the state and community level • Collect data on intervening variables and contributing factors • Prioritize intervening variables • Assess organization, resources, and community readiness

  4. Introductions • Where you are in the MSPF process? • Expectations for today • Barriers/challenges

  5. MSPF Evaluation Overview

  6. What Are We Evaluating? • MSPF priority: reduce underage drinking and alcohol abuse • Reduce the number of youth, ages 12-20, reporting past month alcohol use • Reduce the number of young persons, ages 18-25, reporting past month binge drinking • Reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes involving youth ages 16-25

  7. Process Evaluation • State Level • Focus on the extent to which the state successfully adheres to the five steps of the SPF • Community Level • Assess each community coalition’s adherence to and progress on implementation of the five steps of the SPF

  8. Process Evaluation • Community Level (cont.) • Work with local community evaluator to track and document all SPF related activities • Example: Providing Monthly Reports on Coalition and SPF activities • Examine whether selected strategies are being implemented as planned

  9. Outcome Evaluation • State Level • Will examine whether or not implemented strategies are effective in reducing underage drinking • Will work with the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) to evaluate the outcomes of interest

  10. Outcome Evaluation • Community Level • Is critical since we may not be able to see an overall change in the state rates due to only 24 communities being funded • The outcome evaluation at the community level will focus on the primary indicators • Will work with the local evaluator • Community coalitions will select their strategies bases on their needs assessment

  11. SEOW • State Epidemiology and Outcomes Workgroup • To provide state substance abuse prevention providers and policy makers with information to determine prevention priorities • Identify, monitor, and interpret key indicators that provide information on consequences of alcohol and drug use and measures of use • State level • Jurisdictional level

  19. Community Needs Assessment • A systematic gathering and analysis of data about the community your coalition serves for the purpose of identifying and addressing local Alcohol problems. • The overall goal of the needs assessment is to answer the five “W” questions: • What? • Who? • Where? • When? • Why?

  20. Types of Data • Quantitative Data • Defined as variables that you can count • Data that help answer the question “how many?” • Can be collected from archival data or surveys • Qualitative Data • Defined as people’s attitudes, opinions, or beliefs • Non-numerical data rich in detail and description • Can be collected from interviews, town hall meetings, focus groups, open-ended survey questions, individual interviews

  21. Data Collection Methods • Primary Data • Focus groups • Surveys • Interviews • Environmental Scans • Town Hall Meetings • Secondary Data • Existing Surveys • Hospital Records • Law Enforcement Records

  22. Assessing the Indicators: the WHAT? • Maryland Indicators • Reduce the number of youth, ages 12-20, reporting past month alcohol use • Reduce the number of young persons, ages 18-25, reporting past month binge drinking • Reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes involving youth ages 16-25 • Identify the problem in your community

  23. Data Collection Sources • Community level surveys • FARS • NSDUH • Maryland Adolescent Survey • YRBSS • BRFSS

  24. Identifying the Who?, Where?, and When? • WHO? • Should we target a demographic subgroup? • WHERE? • Should we target a geographic location? • WHEN? • Does the time of the year matter?

  49. Data Collection Tools and MethodsLow Perceived Risk • Focus Groups • Interviews • Surveys

  50. Prioritization Process • Based on data obtained: • Rank each intervening variable on a scale from 0-10 using the following question: • To what degree do you believe the intervening variable is affecting underage drinking, binge drinking, or alcohol related crashes in your community? • Select up to 3 contributing factors for the top ranked intervening variables • Assess your community’s readiness and capacity to address each contributing factor selected
