  2. WELCOME BACK!

  3. Overview of Today’s Session • Why are we here • Objectives and Goals for Session 2 • Leaning Community Session 1 Summary: Feedback from RAC Directors • Group Activity—Developing a Subregional Epidemiological Profile

  4. Why Are We Here and Goals/Objectives Why are we here? • Feedback received from the 2010 Subregional profiles • CSAP • DMHAS Objectives • Know the components that go into a subregional epidemiological profile Goals • Construct a subregional epidemiological profile

  5. Learning Community Session 1 Summary:Feedback session from RAC Directors • 2010 process in producing SubregionalEpi Profile • Had less structure and guidance when compared to the 2008 process • Tight timeline • Addition of two indicators: suicide and problem gambling • Overwhelmed by information received from DMHAS • no guidance from DMHAS on what to do with all this information

  6. Learning Community Session 1 Summary:Feedback session from RAC Directors (cont) • Resulted in: • RAC Directors losing credibility from their community • Not being able to disseminate their subregional region profiles

  16. SubregionalEpi Profile: MIDDLE (cont) • Risk and Protective Factors (some examples) • Age of onset • Peers engaging in problem behavior • Low perception of harm • Perceived risk

  17. SubregionalEpi Profile: MIDDLE (cont) • Risk and Protective Factors (some examples--cont) • Parental monitoring (or perception of monitoring) • Parent or older sibling drug use (or perception of use) • Strong parent and adolescent relationship and family cohesion
