Strategic Prevention Framework • Assessment • Capacity • Planning • Implementation • Evaluation • Sustainability • Cultural Competency

Putting the Puzzle Together Capacity Planning Assessment Implementation & Evaluation

The Agenda For Tonight • Create a vision statement • Create a mission statement • Develop a strategic plan based on your logic model utilizing CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Change • Evaluation

Vision & Mission Statements

Vision Statement “The dream—how your community will be when all the outcomes are met. ” Your long term fantasy for a perfect community

Vision Statement Example: The vision for Utopia Alliance is a healthy, vibrant community, free of misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Mission Statement • What the Alliance’s role is in making the vision a reality. Example: The Mission of the Utopia Alliance is to transform the Township of Utopia into a community that nurtures youth and families by engaging residents in the process of ongoing community problem solving to reduce substance abuse.

Difference between Vision & Mission While the Vision is a dream, the Mission is more concrete and action oriented.

Developing the Plan of Action • In order to develop the plan you must understand – Community Level Change – CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Change

Community Level Change (Environmental Strategies) Prevention efforts aimed at changing or influencing community conditions rather then individuals or groups of individuals Only a part of what Alliances will be doing

CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Community Level Change To effect change an alliance must develop a diverse range of strategies and interventions.

CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Community Level Change INDIVIDUALLY FOCUSED • Provide information • Build skills • Provide social support Community Focused • Reduce barriers / enhance access • Change consequences / incentives • Alter the physical design of the environment • Change policy and rules

Strategy 1: Providing Information Educational presentations, workshops, seminars or other presentations. Examples: – Media – Brochures – Billboards – Meetings – Forum – Web-based communications

Strategy 2: Enhancing Skills Activities designed to increase the skills of participants to achieve population-level outcomes. Examples: – Workshops and seminars – Training and technical assistance

Strategy 3: Providing Support Creating opportunities for individuals to participate in activities that reduce risk or enhance protection • Examples: – Providing alternative activities – Mentoring – Referrals – Support groups

Strategy 4: Enhancing Access/Reducing Barriers Improving systems and processes to increase the ease, ability and opportunity to utilize services. Examples: – Cultural and language sensitivity – Childcare – Transportation

Strategy 5: Changing Consequences Increasing or decreasing the probability of a specific behavior by altering the consequences of that behavior • • Increasing public awareness Individual and business rewards Taxes, citations, and fines Revocation/loss of privileges

Strategy 6: Physical Design • Changing the physical design or structure of the environment to reduce risk or enhance protection – Parks – Landscape – Signage – Lighting – Outlet density

Form 7 Plan for Evaluation • Five elements to evaluation: • Process • Short-term outcomes • Intermediate Outcomes • Long-term outcomes • Long-term impact evaluation

Form 7 Plan for Evaluation • Form 7– Plan for Evaluation – Process Indicators • Tools to Measure Process – Outcome Indicators • Short Terms Goals • Tools to Measure Short Term Goals

Process Evaluation Examines the delivery of the intervention to determine if: • the target audience was reached • the Alliance stakeholders were engaged • the activity was delivered as intended

Form 7 Plan for Evaluation • Measure Process by: • Number of session • Number of unduplicated people attending each session

Form 7 Plan for Evaluation • Measure Process: 30 unduplicated people over 6 sessions Total of 180 people trained

Form 7 Plan for Implementation • Short Term Goals What would be learned/benefitted

Form 7 Plan for Implementation • Short Term Goals Increased knowledge & skill regarding: accepting proper ID understanding need for policy

Form 7 Plan for Implementation Tools & Instruments for process

Form 7 Plan for Implementation Tools & Instruments for process Attendance sheets

Form 7 Plan for Implementation • Tools and instruments for short term goals

Form 7 Plan for Implementation • Tools and instruments for short term goals – Pre & post tests – Surveys – Interviews

Intermediate Outcomes • Intermediate evaluation determines if the intervention is making a difference in the problems detailed in the Alliance’s local conditions identified on the logic model. • Not before year two

Long Term Outcomes • Long-term evaluation determines if the changes in the local conditions are affecting the root cause and ultimately reducing the problem as identified in the problem statement • Not before year five

Long Term Impact • Long-term impact identifies the long-term impact over a 5 -10 year period and considers the long-term health and social consequences to the community. • Long-term impact is determined when the Alliance conducts another needs assessment process in preparation for the next grant cycle
