Capacity Agenda Welcome and Introductions Group Work Agreement Review Objectives Review-Visit Assessment phase Explore capacity and systems Where is your system currently Community Readiness Intervening Variable system development Addressing identified gaps Report requirements Closure Training evaluation

3. Capacity Training Objectives Explain capacity as it relates to the consequence logic model Define community prevention system Explain what a prevention system addressing Intervening Variables and risky behaviors associated with underage binge drinking and 15-24 year old alcohol related crashes in their community looks like.

4. Capacity Training Objectives Community Readiness: Describe community readiness. Explain the 9 stages of readiness. Analyze their community in the statewide readiness survey and identify community strengths, weaknesses, and key stakeholders who need to be brought into the system. Identify tools available to gauge community readiness.

5. Capacity Training Objectives Mobilization: Identify stake holder’s necessary to implement environmental strategies. Map existing system and identify who needs to be included. Identify strategies to educate and mobilize identified stakeholders.

6. SPF SIG New Mexico Community Logic Model Reducing alcohol-related youth traffic fatalities High rate of alcohol- related crash mortality Among 15 to 24 year olds Low or discount PRICING of alcohol Easy RETAIL ACCESS to Alcohol for youth Easy SOCIAL ACCESS to Alcohol Media Advocacy to Increase Community Concern about Underage Drinking Restrictions on alcohol advertising in youth markets SOCIAL NORMS accepting and/or encouraging youth drinking PROMOTION of alcohol use (advertising, movies, music, etc) Low ENFORCEMENT of alcohol laws Underage DRINKING AND DRIVING Social Event Monitoring and Enforcement Bans on alcohol price promotions and happy hours Young Adult BINGE DRINKING Enforce underage retail sales laws Intervening Variables Strategies (Examples) Substance- Related Consequences Substance Use Low PERCEIVED RISK of alcohol use Young Adult DRINKING AND DRIVING Underage BINGE DRINKING

7. Assessment Check In 1.What good things have you learned about your community as a result of your assessment efforts? 2.What has been challenging? 3.What resources or allies did you discover during this process? 4.Which allies are not currently present? In your communities, answer the following questions:

8. Intervening Variables Review Community Activity: Groups will get an envelope that has Intervening Variables and examples of Intervening Variables. Match the examples with the correct Intervening Variable.

9. Intervening Variables Review Easy Retail Access Lack of compliance checks High number of alcohol outlets Low Enforcement Low number of sobriety check points Alcohol is being sold to intoxicated patrons

10. Intervening Variables Review Social Access Parents host house parties Keg parties near college campuses Low Perceived Risk The person who drinks the least is the safest driver People believe there is no police patrol in certain areas

11. Intervening Variables Review Social Norms Freshmen in college believe they are expected to drink every weekend Every celebration has alcohol Promotion The Tecate softball tournament gives a 6 pack to anyone who hits a homerun Every other add on the radio is for club-18 to enter 21 to drink

12. Intervening Variables Review Discount Pricing Happy hours offer $2.00 pitchers Buy 16oz. Beer for the price of a 12oz.

13. Capacity Mobilization of resources within a geographic area. Convening key stakeholders, coalitions, and service providers to plan and implement sustainable prevention efforts Mobilization includes financial and organizational resources in addition to forming partnerships.

14. Capacity Other considerations: Community Readiness Cultural Competence Leadership All are strengthened by education and training

15. Capacity Benchmarks Partnerships –Continuation and creation of new ones –MOAs (memorandums of agreement) –Directory Education and training sessions Meetings and workshops with key stakeholders

16. Capacity and the SPF SIG Our Logic Model is data driven. Who, When and Where of consequence Use patterns Surveys, questionnaires, focus groups of Intervening Variables.

17. Capacity and the SPF SIG Capacity is built around the logic model. To create effective prevention, looking at the logic model, where does capacity need to be centered? Answer: INTERVENING VARIABLES

18. Prevention as a System system: 1.Any organized assembly of resources and procedures united and regulated by interaction or interdependence to accomplish a set of specific functions. 2. A collection of personnel, equipment, and methods organized to accomplish a set of specific functions.

19. Prevention as a System What would a comprehensive, united, prevention system look like using this logic model? Answer: One that addresses each Intervening Variable. Each community will build capacity around Intervening Variables.

20. Prevention as a System What is the goal of the prevention system we want to create in our communities with the SPF SIG? Answer: Reduce the rate of 15-24 year olds involved in fatal alcohol-related vehicle crashes.

21. Promotion Social Norms Social Access Easy Retail Access Low Perceived Risk Low Enforcement Low Prices Substance Use 15-24 year olds involved in alcohol-related vehicle crashes and crash fatalities

22. What has your data shown you? 1.For each Intervening Variable, map out the issues, trends, and behaviors (constructs) you have identified in your community through your assessments. 2.Use the handouts on Page 5-7

23. What has your data shown you? Easy Retail Access High density of alcohol outlets Sunday sales

24. What has your data shown you? 1.For each Intervening Variable, map out the issues, trends, and behaviors (constructs) you have identified in your community through your assessments. 2.Use the handouts on Page 5-7

25. Where is your system now? 1.For each Intervening Variable, identify resources currently actively involved (pg.8-14). 2.Refer to the maps you created based on your data as guides. 3.This will be used for the following reasons: Inventory of current stakeholders Identifying gaps 4.Use the handout on pg. 16 to list gaps

26. Easy RETAIL ACCESS to Alcohol for youth Low ENFORCEMENT of alcohol laws Easy SOCIAL ACCESS to Alcohol Low PERCEIVED RISK of alcohol use or drinking and driving SOCIAL NORMS accepting and/or encouraging youth drinking PROMOTION of alcohol use (advertising, movies, music, etc) Low or discount PRICING of alcohol RetailersJudicial System Young adults PoliceParentsAlcohol distributors community Page 16: Record Gaps

27. Where is your system now? 1.For each Intervening Variable, identify resources currently actively involved (pg.8-14). 2.Refer to the maps you created based on your data as guides. 3.This will be used for the following reasons: Inventory of current stakeholders Identifying gaps 4.Use the handout on pg. 16 to list gaps

28. Community Prevention System Community Readiness: The capacity of a community to implement programs, policies and other changes that are designed to reduce the likelihood of substance use.

29. Community Readiness Why is it important to know a community’s readiness level? Helps identify where capacity needs improvement. Gauges community attitudes Serves as a catalyst for change

30. Community Readiness Is determined by: 1.Identifying the issue 15-24 year olds involved in alcohol related crashes 2.Define the community 3.Conduct interviews 4.Develop strategies based on level of readiness and conduct workshops or trainings to increase readiness.

31. Community Readiness 9 Stages of Community Readiness Page 18 Strategies to Increase Readiness Page 19-20 During the capacity phase, we will want to focus on the assessment.

32. Community Readiness County Level Data 1.Review the county level readiness survey results. 2.Identify and record potential resources for each Intervening Variable (pg.8-14) and gaps (pg.16).

33. County Level Readiness Survey What information from this survey was beneficial? How will this worksheet be useful? Questions or concerns?

34. Community Readiness Community Activity 1.Answer: What cultural considerations do we need to take into account when assessing community readiness? 2.Record on Flip Chart 3.Report to larger group

35. Community and Intervening Variables Community Activity: 1.Refer to pg.21 2.Examine Social Access by identifying everyone that has an impact on that Intervening Variable, both positive and negative impacts. 3.Will share with other communities

36. Communities and Intervening Variables What are some new ideas you got from this activity? How will these worksheets be useful? Questions or concerns?

37. Community and Intervening Variables These worksheets (pg.21-27) will need to be completed for each Intervening Variable when you go back to your communities.

38. Addressing Gaps 1.Use page 16 as a guide for identified gaps. 2.List strategies to fill those gaps. –Networking –Win-Win Selling Points –Education sessions 3.Strategies will be shared with other communities.
