  1. Understanding the SC CAST logic models CAST Academy, Nov. 4, 2010

  2. South Carolina Community Action for a Safer Tomorrow (CAST) Environmental Logic Model: DUI Traffic Crashes Consumption Pattern Risk Factors & Underlying Conditions Environmental Strategies Consequence Improved screening & referral systems DUI traffic crashes Lack of identification of problem behaviors Community media advocacy Adjudication systems enhancement Insufficient enforcement of laws Drinking to the point of impairment High-visibility best practice enforcement operations Social norms accepting and/or encouraging use • The SC rate of 12.1 alcohol-related vehicle deaths per 100,000 people is almost twice the national rate • Almost half of SC fatal motor vehicle accidents involve alcohol Merchant education Over-service to intoxicated patrons Social event monitoring & enforcement Easy social access Restrictions on alcohol price/promotion Low or discount pricing Community mobilization for policy change Insufficient laws and policies Limited transportation options Increase transportation options Last updated 8/6/10

  3. South Carolina Community Action for a Safer Tomorrow (CAST) Environmental Logic Model: Underage Drinking Consumption Pattern Risk Factors & Underlying Conditions Environmental Strategies Social norms accepting and/or encouraging use Community media advocacy Social event monitoring & enforcement Underage Drinking Insufficient enforcement of laws Adjudication systems enhancement Easy social access High-visibility best practice enforcement operations Easy retail access • 35% of SC high school students drink • 18% of SC high school students drank 5 or more drinks on one occasion in the past two week • 1 in 10 SC high school students drove after drinking in the past month Merchant education Inappropriate promotion of use Alcohol advertising restrictions Low or discount pricing Increase product price Insufficient laws and policies Community mobilization for policy change Insufficient enforcement of school policies Model school policies w/ enforcement Lack of identification of early problem behaviors Improved screening & referral systems Last updated 8/6/10

  4. Where did these logic models come from? • Reviewed models from 10-20 other states • Took what we liked • Changed a great deal • Staff brainstorm of any and all environmental factors that influence UD or DUI • Reviewed by: • Evaluation team • SEOW • WEB • Governor’s Council • Key partners (e.g., Office of Highway Safety)

  5. Are they “perfect”? • Probably not • And they are not final either • We welcome your feedback

  6. Most Importantly . . . • These 2 “1-page” diagrams are NOT the whole model • You must have the Contributing Local Factors (CLFs) to have the full logic model • The one-pager is like a pretty cover page • Found on “A Guide for Measuring Risk Factors and Local Conditions in Your Community” • The Risk Factors & Underlying Conditions boxes on the one-pagers are like buckets, but it’s what is inside (CLFs) that matters

  7. Why focus on CLFs? • Risk factor headings can (and do) mean a lot of different things • Risk factors can’t be assessed as a whole (Step 1) • Different CLFs suggest different strategies (Step 3) • Different CLFs need to be tracked differently (Step 5)

  8. Assessing CLFs • In the “guide,” we’ve tried to help match methods to CLFs • Sample tools we’ve developed are based on that approach • BUT you should do your own thinking on this • Are there better ways for you to measure some CLFs? • Do the sample tools get at all the relevant CLFs? • Are we covering every relevant CLF with some collection method? • Make this process your own; make it work for you

  9. More on the Logic Models • Note that all environmental strategies go through “Community media advocacy” • Your county logic model will not look like the state model • Will have fewer boxes b/c not every risk factor will be a priority for your county and you won’t implement every strategy • May leave you room to include your priority CLFs on the “one pager”

  10. More on the Logic Models • We used arrows on only the most direct connections • There may be plausible connections with no arrows • We’ve broken down the environmental strategy boxes like we broke down risk factors into CLFs • Not as important right now • Start to examine those options on 1/26 and beyond

  11. More on the Logic Models • Not every risk factor is created equal • We brainstormed all relevant environmental risk factors • Some do not match up with an evidence-based strategy (e.g., limited transportation options) • Worry about that later • For now, just assess • Importance, ability to change will be factored into prioritization
