SPF SIG Goals
Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking
Reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities
Build prevention capacity and infrastructure at the State and community levels
“SAMHSA envisions the SPF SIGs being implemented through partnerships between States and Communities”

Key Principles of the SPF SIG
Public Health Approach Outcomes Based Prevention Use Data throughout the process to inform
decisions Follows a Strategic Planning Process – SPF
SIG
5
Public Health Approach
The SPF SIG takes a public health approachpublic health approach to prevent substance related problems.
A public health approach focuses on change for entire populations (collections of individuals who have one or more personal or environmental characteristic in common).
Population-based public health considers an entire range of factors that determine health.
6
Outcomes-Based Prevention
Effective prevention is grounded in a solid understanding of alcohol tobacco and other drug consumption and consequence patterns consumption and consequence patterns that need to be addressed.
Understanding the nature and extent of consumption (e.g., underage drinking) and consequences (e.g., motor-vehicle crashes) from the beginning is critical for determining prevention priorities and aligning
strategies to address them.
7
Infusing Data throughout SPF SIG Decision Making
SPF SIG strives to use data across all stepsuse data across all steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF).
Deliberate process to collect, analyze, interpret, and apply lessons from substance use and consequence data to drive state efforts across the entire SPF.
Ongoing and integrated data analyses are critical to: identify problems and set priorities, assess and mobilize capacity for using data, inform prevention planning and funding decisions, guide selection of strategies to address problems and goals, monitor key milestones and outcomes and adjust plans as needed.

The Strategic Prevention Framework

Characteristics of the SPF SIG
Community Level Change: Community is Unit of Analysis Community Level efforts funded by the SPF SIG include
all five steps of the SPF Capacity and infrastructure that can be sustained over
time The SPF focuses on a “systematic process”, not just a
funding and program implementation decisions Dynamic Process: requires grantees to ask questions
and use information for decision making

Data Analysis Committee Task
Bring systematic, analytical thinking to the causes and consequences of the use of substances in order to effectively and efficiently utilize prevention resources
Promote data-driven decision making at all stages in the Strategic Prevention Framework
Promote cross systems planning, implementation, and monitoring efforts
Provide core support to the SPF Advisory Council and Strategic Planning Committee
13
Community Selection
Accurately assess substance-abuse related problems using epidemiological data
Identify the magnitude of the (substance abuse) problem and where it is greatest
Identify risk and protective factors Assess community assets and resources,
gaps in services and capacity, and readiness to act.
14
Criteria for Selecting Indicators
Reflect critical substance use related problem or consumption pattern
Valid Periodic collection Consistent measurement Available/Limited burden Disaggregated geographically, by age,
gender and/or race/ethnicity
15
Data Collection
Identify community-specific indicators of: Substance use-related consequences
Illness Injury Legal Problems in living
Patterns of consumption Overall Consumption Acute, heavy consumption Consumption in risky situations
Drinking and driving Smoking around young children
Consumption by high risk groups Youth, College Students, Older Groups Pregnant women
16
Which problems have the greatest impact? Where can we intervene to reduce substance-related burden?
Are there any unique geographic or subcultural issues or patterns related to these problems?
What problems are most amenable to change? What are the potential barriers to change? Is the community ready for a change effort? Why or why not?
What efforts are on-going in these areas? What additional resources do we have (or need)? What gaps in services or programming are there?
What organizational, fiscal, and leadership issues are important to be successful?
What problems have the greatest potential for “small wins?”
Focusing Questions

Strategic Planning Committee
18
SPC Membership
Individuals with statewide perspective, including:
Senior level policy advisors from relevant state agencies
Senior level researchers
19
Primary Tasks:
“To develop and obtain consensus on a Comprehensive Substance Abuse Prevention Plan for Kentucky, which will include special emphasis on underage drinking.” “To implement and monitor the plan.”
20
Other Tasks: Improve information utilization at both state and
community levels. Establish mechanisms to select community-level
projects based on the empirical evidence (including the assessment of community readiness) and sensitivity to multicultural subtleties.
Make decisions about target community selection. Conduct in-depth planning with target
communities. Distribute funds to community projects in support
of evidence-based programs and practices. Monitor community-level initiatives. Track change over time.
21
Decision-Oriented Framework for Implementation of the Strategic Prevention Framework Initiative in Kentucky
Schedule of meetings between 9/05 and 1/06 sequenced the following decisions:
Determined statewide priorities (5 substances) Determined counties of high need Determined counties with low resources (3-5
counties per substance) Determined counties of high readiness (1-2
counties per substance)
(See Handout)
22
Priority Concerns
Other meetings addressed the priority concerns of:
The impact of Culture, Age and Ethnicity on ATOD use
The need for a shared understanding of what constitutes an “Evidence-based Strategy”
