NH DRUG AND ALCOHOL SERVICES Community-based Data-driven

1. NH DRUG AND ALCOHOL SERVICES Community-based Data-driven

2. The System

3. NH Regional Networks

4. The Structure: Treating Communities

6. Prevention & Early Intervention • REGIONAL NETWORKS • Convene community stakeholders • Facilitate needs assessments, capacity development, and planning • Leverage resources • Lead/support environmental activities (policy, media, targeted communications, information dissemination, outreach/awareness) • PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION PROVIDERS • Deliver evidence-based programs to selective and indicated populations • Collect Process (PIERS) and Intermediate (CORE MEASURE) data • Focus on selective (high risk) and indicated populations • Serve youth, parents, elders, and communities • TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT • NH Center for Excellence (Evidence-Based Practice, Data, Systems Change, Learning Teams) • NH Training Institute on Addictive Disorders (core competency and general professional development) • Prevention Certification Board • CLEARINGHOUSE AND LENDING LIBRARY • Materials, curricula, information dissemination • Coordinated media and marketing • Two web sites: www.drugfreenh.org www.nhcenterforexcellence.org

7. How do we know prevention is working? • Resources leveraged • Stakeholders engaged • Evidence-Based Services offered • Intervening variables affected (e.g. perception of risk, perception of wrongness, knowledge of biological nature of addiction, intention not to use) = Population level behavior change

8. Prevention Data System • Centralized population level indicator data • Arrest data including liquor law violations and DWI • BRFSS • Hospital discharge data • Retailer compliance • Youth Risk Behavior Survey • Provider and Network level data • Core Measure Survey (Universal, Selected, Indicated) • PIERS (Capacity and Process) • Partnership Tool (Network)

9. How do we know prevention is working? Resources: Funds and human resources raised Stakeholders: Who and how many are engaged Evidence-Based Services: Based on Contributing Factors Based on Target Population Fidelity to model! “Saturation” – how many served Intervening variable Change: Knowledge -of harm -of strategies to avoid use -of biology of addiction, etc Attitude (Perceived risk, perceived wrongness, perceived self- efficacy, intentionality) = Population level behavior change

10. Stakeholders Engaged SFY 2010 Funding Stakeholders Engaged: 3,031

11. Evidence-Based Practices “Saturation”

14. Effect on Intervening Variables Research and SAMHSA recommendations support that perception of risk and wrongness and other intervening variables will influence likelihood of use.BUT IS THEPROGRAMMING DRIVING THE CHANGE?Showing changes in perceptions and other intervening variables as a result of evidence-based programmingbuilds the case.

15. 2009 YRBS Perception of Risk

16. Marijuana Use in Past 30 Days Parent Perception of Wrongness: Marijuana

17. Prevention Data System With the assistance and endorsement of the NH Expert Panel, the Northeast CAPT Regional Expert Team, and community level evaluators, NH developed a CORE MEASURE survey administered in all age appropriate program level group prevention to gauge impact of funded programming on intervening variables. In other words, the CORE MEASURE instrument will inform BDAS if funded programming, supported by fidelity audits and technical assistance, is producing change in the intervening variables that research says will change behavior at the population level?

18. Knowledge: Alcohol or drug use can be more harmful for adolescents because the brain is still developing. Source: Youth Pre/Post Core Measure Survey

19. Knowledge: People can inherit a higher risk for alcohol and drug problems Source: Youth Pre/Post Core Measure Survey

20. Perception of wrongness: How wrong do you think it is for someone your age to drink beer, wine, or hard liquor? Source: Youth Pre/Post Core Measure Survey

21. Skills: How likely are you to make a personal commitment not to use alcohol or other drugs? Source: Youth Pre/Post Core Measure Survey

22. Refusal Skills: I plan on using my skills and knowledge to refuse alcohol, tobacco & other drugs. Source: Youth Pre/Post Core Measure Survey

23. Refusal Skills: I know ways to avoid situations that could lead to drinking or drug use. Source: Youth Pre/Post Core Measure Survey

24. Prevention Data System Data provide a means to monitor local trends and prevalence • Alcohol on the decline • Marijuana steady • Perception of Risk re Marijuana on decline • Prescription Drug Use: 1 in 5 initiated use; 1 in 10 regularly use

25. Are We Making a Difference?

26. Impact: Past 30 Day Use of Alcohol

27. NH vs. US Past 30 Day Alcohol Use(NH Local Sample YRBS)

28. Substance Use Trends 2001-2009Local Sample YRBS SPF Funding Received SPF Funding out to Communities SPF Funding Ends

29. NH Age of Onset Local Sample YRBS Grades 9-12

30. Age of Onset: Alcohol (by Region) Region

31. What is the value of these outcomes? • The longer we delay initiation, the less likely NH’s children are to ever become dependent on alcohol or other drugs • Applying the percent reductions in underage drinking among high school aged youth from 2001 to 2009 to the number of 15-19 year olds living in New Hampshire, the long-term impact translates to 5,190 NH youth not initiating regular alcohol use[1].

32. Treatment & Recovery • TREATMENT SERVICES • Inpatient • Outpatient/Intensive Outpatient • Care Coordination (ATR) • RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES • Training and supervision of Recovery Support Workers • Resource and Referral for those in recovery to receive and/or provide recovery supports • Methadone clinics- regulatory only • Alcohol and Other Drug Licensure and Credentialing • NH Training Institute on Addictive Disorders • Crisis line

33. Data Driven Practice: • Electronic Health Records/WITS • Client Event Data System (CEDS) • GPRA (ATR)

34. National Outcome Measure: Employment

Past 30 Day Use of Prescription Drugs Ever Used Prescription Drugs 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Canada Percentage of students who have taken a prescription drug (such as OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Adderall, Ritalin or Xanax) without a doctor’s prescription one or more times during their life by Regional Network. % Ever Used - Prescription 17.6 – 17.9 18.0 – 18.3 18.4 – 18.9 19.3 – 20.7 20.8 22.3 2009 Local Sample YRBS n=30,274 Maine Vermont Massachusetts

38. Systems Change With the SPF SIG having transformed prevention delivery (community –based and data-driven); With Access To Recovery ensuring care coordination, recovery supports and client-driven care; With evidence-based practice in prevention and treatment the standard; With web-based data systems for both prevention (PIERS), treatment (WITS), and population level indicators (nhcenterforexcellence.org)… The prevention and treatment delivery system is being significantly upgraded, and improved outcomes are and will be demonstrable.
