  1. Taking Advances in Prevention Science to Scale to Prevent Drug Misuse and Crime Community-Wide J. David Hawkins Social Development Research Group School of Social Work University of Washington

  2. Research Guiding Practice Malleable risk and protective factors identified through longitudinal studies should be targeted by preventive interventions. (Coie et al., 1994; Woolf, 2008; O’Connell, Boat & Warner, 2009)

  3. Advances in Prevention Over the past 25 years, controlled trials have identified both ineffective and effective prevention policies and programs.

  4. Prenatal & Infancy Programs Early Childhood Education Parent Training After-school Recreation Mentoring with Contingent Reinforcement Youth Employment with Education Organizational Change in Schools Classroom Organization, Management, and Instructional Strategies School Behavior Management Strategies Classroom Curricula for Social Competence Promotion Community & School Policies Community Mobilization Effective Programs and Policies Have Been Identified in a Wide Range of Areas (Hawkins & Catalano, 2004)

  5. Preventive interventions that address shared risk factors for different adolescent health risking behaviors have produced reductions in multiple outcomes, including drug use and crime. (Hawkins et al, 1999; Botvin et al., 2002 ; Flay et al, 2004; Haggerty et al., 2007; Schweinhart et al, 1992; 2005).

  6. Lists of Rigorously Tested and Effective Youth Violence and Drug Abuse Prevention Programs and Policies • Blueprints for Violence Prevention www.colorado.edu/cspv/blueprints/ • Communities That Care Prevention Strategies Guide http://preventionplatform.samhsa.gov

  7. But… Prevention approaches that do not work or have not been evaluated have been more widely used than those shown to be effective. (Gottfredson & Gottfredson, 2002, Hallfors et al 2001, Ringwalt et al., 2002.)

  8. The Challenge • How can we take tested and effective prevention programs to scale… while recognizing that communities are different from one another and that people want to have control over what programs they use?

  9. Why “community” level? • Preventive services are implemented locally. • Youths in different communities are exposed to different levels of risk and protection.

  10. Distribution of Risk in a City

  11. Madison Middle School Risk Profile 8th Grade 2002 Peer-Individual Estimated National Value

  12. Nova High School Risk Profile 10th Grade 2002 Peer-Individual Peer-Individual Estimated National Value

  13. A Goal for Community Prevention To identify and address those risk factors that are most prevalent and those protective factors that are most suppressed with tested and effective policies and programs.

  14. Communities That Care:A Tested and Effective Operating System for Community Wide Prevention • CTC is a proven method for mobilizing communities to prevent underage drinking, tobacco use and delinquent behavior. • CTC has been tested in a randomized controlled experimental trial involving 12 pairs of matched communities (24 communities) across 7 states from Maine to Washington. • CTC’s effects have been independently replicated in a statewide dissemination trial in Pennsylvania.

  15. Population Level Effects of CTC • Compared with control communities, CTC significantly reduced the incidence of tobacco use, alcohol use and delinquent behavior community wide by end of 8th grade. • Compared with control communities, CTC significantly reduced the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use, current drinking, binge drinking and delinquent behavior community wide in 8th grade.

  21. The Communities That Care Operating System Get Started Creating Communities That Care Implement and Evaluate Get Organized Develop a Profile Create a Plan • Collect risk/protective factor and outcome data. • Collect information on community resources • Construct a community profile from the data.

  22. Peer-Individual Estimated National Value

  23. The Communities That Care Operating System Get Started Creating Communities That Care Implement and Evaluate Get Organized Develop a Profile Create a Plan • Define outcomes. • Prioritize factors to be targeted. • Select tested, effective interventions. • Create action plan. • Develop evaluation plan.

  25. Effective Prevention for Parents of Young Adolescents • Creating Lasting Connections • Family Matters • Guiding Good Choices • Parents Who Care • Parenting Wisely • Strengthening Families 10-14

  26. The Communities That Care Operating System Get Started Creating Communities That Care Implement and Evaluate Get Organized Develop a Profile Create a Plan • Form task forces. • Identify and train implementers. • Sustain collaborative relationships. • Evaluate processes and outcomes. • Adjust programming.

  27. CTC Trainings • Key Leader Orientation • Community Board Training • Community Assessment Training • Community Resource Assessment Training • Community Planning Training • Community Program Implementation Training

  28. Communities that CareProcess and Timeline Measurable Outcomes Process Increase in priority protective factors Decrease in priority risk factors Increase in positive youth development Reduction in problem behaviors Assess risk, protection and resources Implement and evaluate tested prevention strategies Vision for a healthy community 6-9 mos. 1 year 2-5 years 4-10 years

  29. Why Does CTC Work? • Complete set of manualized trainings. • Process for assessing community readiness. • Milestones and Benchmarks that guide communities through the CTC process. • Standardized assessment process for community needs assessment. • Menu of tested and effective preventive interventions. • Training and tools for monitoring implementation fidelity and quality and outcomes.

  30. What Does CTC Achieve? • Creates a stable infrastructure for prevention in the community. • Creates synergy across preventive interventions and efficient use of prevention resources. • Helps communities use epidemiological data to prioritize risk and protective factors for preventive action. • Increases use of tested and effective preventive interventions. • Extends the impact of prevention beyond individual programs and their direct recipients to the broader community – achieves population level outcomes.

  31. Ingredients of CTC Success Identified through Research • Local CTC board functioning is key to CTC effectiveness, the fidelity of evidence-based programs implemented through CTC, and sustainability of prevention effort. • CTC board functioning is dependent on adequate training and ongoing technical assistance. • Regular evaluation and feedback to local sites assists the joint work of TA providers and CTC boards in maintaining high-quality site functioning and program fidelity.
