2. INDIVIDUAL LEVEL 3.BASE COMMUNITY 4. LOCAL COMMUNITY 1. LEADERSHIP INTEGRATED 4-PRONGED COMMUNITY APPROACH
CoRC Basics 1. Leadership Driven Program: Message and support from top down 2. Individual Level Opportunities for Change • Assessment/Screening of risk in all personnel • Education/awareness • Brief Interventions and treatment when needed • Responsibility and commitment 3. Base Community Opportunities for Change • Develop range of alternate activities • Consistent and equitable detection/enforcement • Media campaign promoting responsibility • Monitor AF metrics/consider base specific metrics 4. Local Community Opportunities for Change • Assess threat and availability of drugs and alcohol • Develop coalition with community agencies
Surgeon General’s Toolkit:Bucket 1 Universal/Primary Prevention • Population outreach: • Screening population/surveillance • Take “temperature” of risk on base • Education and feedback at teachable moments
Surgeon General’s Toolkit:Bucket 2 Selected/Secondary Prevention • Targeted, individualized, non-anonymous alcohol and drug screening at Primary Care and Flight Medicine • PHA: Everyone screened annually, feedback provided, and referred as needed • Routine Care: Options for screening, brief intervention and referral as part of routine care
Surgeon General’s Toolkit:Bucket 3 Targeted/Tertiary Prevention • Screening, Assessment & Brief Intervention • Designed for behavioral health outside of ADAPT • Family Advocacy and Life Skills Support Centers • Tools to identify and treat “sub-clinical” alcohol misuse • Improved identification of substance use disorders • Options for screening at each new intake • Improved decision tree • When to refer to ADAPT and when to incorporate into existing treatment plan
Surgeon General’s Toolkit:Bucket 4 Subject Matter Consultation • Guidance for ADAPT and DDR PMs about their role as CC consultants for CoRC implementation • Booklet with core consultant competencies • References and Resources • Resources and opportunities for training
The 7 Steps of Program Planning • Assess the Readiness of the Community • Assess the Levels of Risks and Protective Factors • Translate the Risk and Protective Factors into Priorities • Examine the Resources in the Community • Select a Target Population • Apply “Best Practices and “Guiding Principles” • Evaluate the Program
AF Readiness Level • Substance Misuse: A Clear and Present Danger • Alcohol Misuse is involved in • 33% of Suicides • 57% of Sexual Assaults • 28.5% of Domestic Violence Incidents • 44% of PMV Accidents • 33% of AD (17-24) commit 81% of ARIs
AF Readiness Level • AD AF FY 04 – 0.45% Drug Positive Rate • Equals – 1,572 AD Airmen Drug Positive • Discharge over 1500 Airmen because Drug Positives • Costs – 36 – 79K to produce each trained Airmen • Cost to the AF – Over 93 Million Dollars per Year
AF Readiness Level • CSAF- Must Reduce ARIs and Drug Positives via The Culture of Responsible Choices (CoRC)- July 2005
Risk Factors AF- Wide • Age (17-24) * • Male* • Availability of Alcohol and Drugs* • Underage Drinking/Binge Drinking* • Single Status • High OPS TEMPO/Deployments • Stress • Sensation-Seeking • High Priority Risk Factors*
Protective Factors AF- Wide • AF is a Family* • Excellent Health Care System* • Healthy Alternatives* • Fitness Activities • First Term Airmen Centers • Network of Helping Professionals* • Opportunities for Education and Training* • High Priority Protective Factors*
Protective Factors AF- Wide • “Wingman’s Culture”* • “Culture of Airmen”* • Suicide Intervention Program* • Enforcement of Underage Drinking Laws* • AF Zero Tolerance Policy* • Strong Leadership* • Implementation of CoRC* • www.afcrossroads.com

CoRC Target Populations • Primary – 17-24 AD • Secondary - > 24 AD • Tertiary – Civilians, Retirees, and Family Members
Best Practices • CoRC is based on the adaptation of the Best Practice and nationally acclaimed F.E. Warren’s “0-0-1-3” Responsible Drinking Program
Guiding Principles • 2005 CORONA Tasker • Community Prevention Model to Population Health • CoRC 4 Tiers • CSAP 6 Prevention Strategies
Guiding Principles • Prevention Research • NIAAA 2002- “A Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking on College Campuses • IOM 2003 – “Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility”
Evaluation • CoRC Metrics • 25% reduction in ARMs from Baseline Year • 25% reduction in Drug Positives from Baseline Year • Other Measures • Process, Outcome and Impact Program Evaluation
CoRC Logic Model • What are the Risk and Protective Factors to be addressed ? (The Goals) • Reduce ARMs by 25% • Reduce Drug Positive by 25%
CoRC Logic Model • What services and activities will be provided ? • 6 CSAP Prevention Strategies: • Dissemination of Information, Prevention Education, Alternative Activities, Community-based Processes, Environmental Approaches, and Problem Recognition and Referral • Urinalysis – “Smart Testing”
CoRC Logic Model • Who will participate in or be influenced by the program ? • AD 17-24
CoRC Logic Model • How will the activities lead to expected outcomes ? • If CoRC is implemented AF-wide according to the CONOPs than AD 17-24 will be more informed • With Strong Command support and if all 6 CSAP Prevention Strategies and “Smart Testing” are implemented than we will achieve the CoRC goals AF-wide
CoRC Logic Model • What immediate changes are expected for AD ? (The short-term outcomes) • A 25 % reduction in ARMs and UA+s
CoRC Logic Model • What changes will CoRC ultimately like to create? ( The long-term impacts) • A change in the AF Culture
Summary: 7 steps for a Prevention Planning Process • Assess the Readiness of the Community • Assess the Levels of Risks and Protective Factors • Translate the Risk and Protective Factors into Priorities • Examine the Resources in the Community • Select a Target Population • Apply “Best Practices and “Guiding Principles” • Evaluate the Program
CoRC • Best Practices: Kadena Air Base, PACAF
Best Practices • Davis Monthan AFB - EUDL Project, Leadership Tier • Barksdale AFB - Individual Tier • Little Rock AFB - Base Community Tier • Malstrom AFB - EUDL Project, Local Community Tier
Other Best Practices/Lessons Learned • A monthly listing of those turning 21 are sent to First Sergeants from Alpha roster- ACC • Placing 0-0-1-3 stickers on menus and doors of local establishments –ACC • Attending Underage Drinking Task Force and University Task Force Meeting to share ideas and gain synergy – ACC • Responsible Choices through Education, Support and Accountability – USAFE • Integrating CoRC into the Air Commando Culture - AFSOC
Ideas for Improving CoRC Implementation • Strong Leadership Commitment !!! • Implement under CAIB/IDS • Appoint Base-level CoRC POC • Do a local Needs Assessment • Comprehensive Community Approach
Ideas for Improving CoRC Implementation • Add a Best Practices/Lessons Learned section to CoRC Website • Use CoRC CONOPS to train • Periodically Update Toolkits on CoRC Website • Increase the pool of Resources at the CoRC Website
