1. United Way of Butler County Butler Collaborative for Families Butler Memorial Hospital August 2006 Community Solutions Assessment Project

2. Community Solutions Assessment Process

3. Process In December 2005, The United Way of Butler County, Butler Collaborative for Families, and Butler Memorial Hospital along with Tripp Umbach kicked off the Butler County Community Solutions Assessment process. Community Leader Interviews were conducted with 40 active leaders in Butler County to obtain their input on the community survey, the asset inventory survey, identifying potential focus groups, and obtaining secondary data. The outcome of the interviews along with input and discussions with other community players produced the community household survey and the focus group audiences

4. Process Two focus groups were conducted (to date). The senior focus group was held on 7/19/06 and the adolescent focus group was held on 8/2/06. The northern low income residents focus group will be held in September. Asset Inventory surveys were mailed to businesses, faith- based organizations, labor groups, and educational institutions. Secondary data was collected by Tripp Umbach to provide a profile of Butler County including data from the BRFSS, CDC, HRSA, etc.

5. Process The community planning retreat allows the Collaborative to identify specific plans for program implementation in key areas of priority. These prioritized areas will ultimately effect Butler County and its citizens. Third focus group with low-income working adults to be conducted in early September 2006. A September 2006 final community presentation will be conducted to encourage participation and community involvement in the implementation process.

6. Key Findings Community Leader Interviews

7. A community that works together to resolve issues and problems. It encourages cohesion and is actively involved with its citizens to address its future needs. Due to the geographic locations of certain towns in Butler County (pockets of the county) some social and health services are unobtainable, thus the perception is that these towns are unhealthy. However, Butler county overall is perceived to be healthy. Strong services, programs, and positive economic development boosts the county’s image. The future vision of Butler county entails more economic development in other less populated areas of the county. Maintaining the county’s youth and professionals by providing additional job opportunities and job security to those who otherwise would seek it in other locations. A stronger sense of community.

102. Focus Group Key Findings

103. Senior Focus Group The focus group was conducted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at the Butler Tanglewood Senior Center 17 participants ranging in age from 64 to 88 Group included 5 males and 12 females All were Caucasians 1 senior was single, 8 were married, 1 was divorced/separated, and 7 are widowed 2 seniors had some high school education, 6 had a high school diploma/GED, 3 had vocational/trade school education, 3 had some college education (no degree), 2 had their college degree, and 1 senior had their graduate degree

104. Senior Focus Group Priority Issues 1.) Transportation Current transportation is inadequate in the area. The current system needs additional routes/lines, more flexible hours, and better utilization of the bus itself. One common problem with public transportation is the lack of drop off and pick up points (routes). The transportation program needs to be run more efficiently especially with rising gas prices. Use smaller buses or use van shuttles. With this notion you can add additional routes for its citizens.

105. Senior Focus Group Priority Issues 2.) Access to Healthcare Prescription medication is too costly for most seniors to afford. Especially those on a fixed/limited income. Obtaining health services is difficult due to health insurance restrictions. There needs to be universal acceptance of healthcare coverage at all medical facilities. Medicare is inadequate. There are too many restrictions. Dissemination of healthcare information and the rules to use healthcare coverage is also difficult for many seniors to understand. The language is complicated and confusing.

106. Senior Focus Group Priority Issues 3.) Preventive Care Preventive care information is lacking in the public. Ways to address health problems and issues are to promote healthy living lifestyles. Unhealthy living habits leads to poor health. Better dissemination and better communication of information amongst the senior population.

107. Senior Focus Group Priority Issues 4.) Access to Elected Officials The senior population (who tends to be active in the community) is unaware of what happens due to the poor dissemination of information that is produced publicly. There needs to be a public forum/platform to discuss and voice concerns and opinions from seniors and others in the community. The need of public voting records on how public officials vote. Overall lack of trust of public officials. Better access to public officials.

108. Youth Focus Group Focus group conducted on Wednesday August 2 at the YMCA 6 kids participated ranging in age from 12 to 16 including 1 6 th grader, 1 7 th grader, 3 8 th graders, and 1 Junior Group included 5 males and 1 female all white/caucasian Kids represented Butler, Mars, and Seneca Valley school districts

109. Youth Focus Group Priority Issues 1.) Smoking and Drug Use Cigarettes are gateway drug starting in 7 th and 8 th grade, progress to marijuana, and then drugs like heroine and cocaine Participants stated that approximately 4 out of every 10 students tries drugs with approx. 50% continuing to use drugs after trying them Hot spots for drugs include the “Island” near the Lyndora hotel, Father Marinara skate park, and the “Viadox” (sp?) Students do drugs because there is a perception of it being the “cool” thing to do so you can fit in, in various social groups

110. Youth Focus Group Priority Issues 2.) Kids doing illegal things/Crime Fights, bullying, stealing, vandalism, destruction of public property Fights/violence seems to be the number one issue. Participants mentioned the Tanglewood parking lot, YMCA, and schools as locations where fights occur and are scheduled Mentioned the Easy Stop as a site for theft Emily Britton school as a popular location to use paint or pellet guns to shoot cars Theft of street signs and destruction of school restrooms

111. Youth Focus Group Priority Issues 3.) Racism Large divide between White and African American kids in schools resulting in violence. Participants stated “African American kids are separating themselves through music, saggy clothes, and gangs”. White kids who are “trying to fit in with African American kids are acting Black”. Racism is occurring in both directions.

112. Youth Focus Group Priority Issues 4.) Kids aren’t trying hard in school It’s not cool to do well and be perceived as a “geek” or “nerd”. Participants stated approximately 6 students out of 10 are legitimately putting forth their best efforts in school. Participants feel that most kids do not realize the benefits of doing well in school and are more interested in having fun with friends.

113. Youth Focus Group Priority Issues 5.) Sex Perception that it’s not cool to be a virgin. Participants stated most kids start experimenting sexually in 7 th and 8 th grade. Participants estimate 7 out of 10 students are experimenting in sexual activity. Hot spots include parent’s house when parents aren’t home, and large scale house parties.
