IMPACT WAXAHACHIE COALITION TO ELIMINATE AND PREVENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE

DFC FUNDING FOR GREATER ATLANTIC PARTNERSHIP (GAP) COALITION - THE GREATER ATLANTIC PARTNERSHIP (GAP) IS A COMMUNITY COALITION FORMED IN 2023 IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF TOO MANY LOCAL YOUNG PEOPLE USING SUBSTANCES LIKE ALCOHOL (UNDERAGE), TOBACCO, MARIJUANA (ALSO UNDERAGE) AND OTHER ILLICIT OR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS (OUTSIDE OF DRUGS TAKEN AS PRESCRIBED). THIS PARTNERSHIP UNITED MEMBERS FROM AMONG 12 SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP A PLAN, UTILIZING THE STRATEGIC PREVENTION FRAMEWORK, TO POSITIVELY IMPACT COMMUNITY CHANGE. GAP TARGETS THE CENTRAL AREA OF ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY AND INCLUDES: EGG HARBOR CITY, EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, AND THE CITY OF PLEASANTVILLE. THESE COMMUNITIES WERE TARGETED DUE TO SEVERAL ELEVATED RISK FACTORS: THEIR PROXIMITY TO THE 4 MAJOR HIGHWAYS THAT RUN THROUGH THEM AND THE OVERDOSE RATE ALONG THESE CORRIDORS; HIGHER RATES OF SCHOOL DROPOUTS AND TRUANCY FOR YOUTH IN THESE AREAS; AND THE COMMUNITY ASSETS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST THAT WOULD ADVANCE GAP INITIATIVES. THROUGH THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, GAP IDENTIFIED TWO PRIORITY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR INTERVENTION/IMPLEMENTATION: UNDERAGE DRINKING AND OPIOIDS AND OTHER ILLICIT DRUG USE. WHILE THERE TENDS TO BE LESS “NOISE” ABOUT IT, ALCOHOL CONTINUES TO BE THE MOST-USED SUBSTANCE BY ADOLESCENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND MOST NOTABLY IN GAP COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, OPIOIDS AND ILLICIT DRUG USE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DUE TO THE RISE IN FENTANYL, AS EVIDENCED THROUGH THE HIGH RATES OF OVERDOSES OCCURRING DAILY. WHILE GREAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE IN BOTH THESE AREAS, MUCH STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE AND GAP IS PREPARED TO ADDRESS THIS NEED. GAP INTENDS TO IMPLEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES THAT WILL MAKE A MEASURABLE EFFECT IN THE COMMUNITY. GAP WILL WORK TO ENGAGE AND INCREASE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION ACROSS ALL SECTORS. THROUGH ONGOING DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS AS WELL AS EDUCATION, GAP WILL ENSURE THE PUBLIC HAS INCREASED KNOWLEDGE. GAP WILL ALSO ADDRESS PUBLIC ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS. OBJECTIVES WILL BE MET UTILIZING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS, COMMUNITY SCANS, COMMUNITY MAPPING, TRAINING AND EDUCATION, ADOPTION OF CONSISTENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND MANY OTHER ACTIVITIES. GAP PROPOSES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NORMS AND ACCESS/AVAILABILITY FOR BOTH UNDERAGE DRINKING AND OPIOIDS AND OTHER ILLICIT DRUGS THROUGH THE SEVEN STRATEGIES FOR COMMUNITY LEVEL CHANGE. BY PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION, MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, CONVENING TOWN HALL MEETINGS ON THE TOPIC, ADVOCATING FOR A CHANGE IN POLICY AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL, PROVIDING MERCHANT TRAINING, HIGHLIGHTING COMPLIANT BUSINESSES, DISTRIBUTING SIGNAGE AND OTHER COALITION LED INTERVENTIONS, GAP CAN MEET THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO IMPACT THIS PROBLEM. BY IMPLEMENTING BOTH EVIDENCE-BASED AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES, GAP WILL REDUCE ACCESS, LEADING TO REDUCTIONS IN YOUTH RATES USING THESE SUBSTANCES. THROUGH OUTREACH PROJECTS WITH SCHOOL NURSES, VETERINARIANS, PHARMACIES, HOSPICE ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. GAP INTENDS TO REDUCE ACCESS TO OPIOIDS AND OTHER ILLICIT DRUGS. ADDITIONALLY, UTILIZING THESE STRATEGIES WILL HELP AFFECT COMMUNITY NORMS TOWARDS THESE PRIORITY AREAS, ENABLING THE COMMUNITY TO TAKE POSITIVE ACTION, CREATING HEALTHIER, SAFER COMMUNITIES IN THE PROPOSED COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORING AREAS. 1

HC, WHICH RECENTLY CELEBRATED ITS 300TH BIRTHDAY, IS LOCATED AN HOUR WEST OF NEW YORK CITY AND AN HOUR NORTHEAST OF PHILADELPHIA. IN HUNTERDON COUNTY, NJ WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A 46 PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS FROM 2019 TO 2020 ATTRIBUTED TO THE HIGH PURITY OF FENTANYL THAT HAS BEEN MIXED WITH HEROIN AND COUNTERFEIT PRESCRIPTION PAIN PILLS (NJCARES.GOV). RISK FACTORS IDENTIFIED: EASY SOCIAL ACCESS TO RX DRUGS, LOW PERCEPTION OF RISK OR HARM TO MISUSE RX, SOCIAL NORMS SUPPORTIVE OF RX USE, PEER INFLUENCE, OVER PRESCRIBED RX MEDICINES; AND AVAILABILITY/ACCESSIBILITY OF HEROIN. OUR YOUTH SUBGROUPS AT HIGHER RISK LOCALLY ARE LGBTQ+, LATINOS, ATHLETES, AND YOUTH IN JUVENILE DIVERSION. OUR PURPOSE IS TO PREVENT OPIOID/PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE AMONG 12 TO 18 YEAR OLD'S BY DECREASING RISK FACTORS AND INCREASING PROTECTIVE FACTORS. OUTCOMES: INCREASE PERCEPTION OF HARM, DECREASE ACCESS AND AVAILABILITY, REDUCE, AND PREVENT THE USE OF OPIOIDS, CHANGE THE CULTURE AND CONTEXT REGARDING THE ACCEPTABILITY OF OPIOID AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE. OUR STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES BUILD COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS THAT INCORPORATE ACES (ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES) RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS UTILIZING THE SEVEN STRATEGIES FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE. THE PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH COALITION (PFH) AIMS TO REDUCE THE STIGMA AND BARRIERS AROUND SEEKING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE MISUSE HELP THROUGH EDUCATION AND CAMPAIGNS, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR HIGH-RISK SUBGROUPS. WE WILL CHANGE THE PHYSICAL DESIGN BY INCREASING SAFE RX STORAGE WITHIN THE HOME AND REDUCE COMMUNITY BARRIERS AND INCREASE ACCESS TO RX DISPOSAL THROUGH MOBILE DROP BOXES. OUR STRATEGIES WILL ENHANCE YOUTH REFUSAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE ON THE DANGERS OF OPIOIDS WITH A STRONG FOCUS ON FENTANYL, THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND TOWN HALLS. TWO DEDICATED T OWN HALLS WILL BE HELD ENTIRELY IN SPANISH. PFH WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ON DANGERS OF HEROIN AND COUNTERFEIT PILLS THAT CONTAIN FENTANYL THROUGH PSAS ON LOCAL CABLE, PATIENT WAITING ROOMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA. ALL INFORMATION WILL BE BILINGUAL (SPANISH). WE WILL ENHANCE ACCESS TO ALTERNATIVES FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT BY WORKING WITH THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY AND INSURANCE COMPANIES TO CHANGE POLICY AND COVERAGE. WE WILL PARTNER WITH LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY GROUPS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT, INCREASE KNOWLEDGE ON RISKS, PROVIDE ACCESS TO CARE AND PROVIDE SUPPORT BY CREATING A YOUTH LGBTQ+ YOUTH GROUP TO CREATE PSA?S AND CAMPAIGNS TO IMPROVE CULTURAL COMPETENCY AND KNOWLEDGE, AND PROVIDE MENTORING SUPPORT AND ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES. WE AIM TO MODIFY SCHOOL POLICIES TO INCLUDE HEALTH CURRICULUM TARGETING OPIOIDS WHICH WILL INCLUDE FENTANYL EDUCATION; AND TO INCLUDE A HANDLE WITH CARE PROGRAM WHICH PARTNERS LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SCHOOLS IN SUPPORTING THE NEEDS OF A CHILD THAT HAS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED TRAUMA. WE WILL MODIFY SCHOOL POLICY TO REQUIRE ATHLETES TO ATTEND AN EDUCATION PROGRAM ON THE RISK OF OPIOIDS. OUR STRATEGIES WILL CHANGE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE TO INCLUDE EARLY INTERVENTION COUNSELING. WE WILL BUILD COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE ON ACE'S RISK FACTORS BY PROVIDING ACTIVITIES THAT INCLUDE CROSS SECTOR ACE'S TRAINING, IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ACES PUBLIC AWARENESS AND MOBILIZATION CAMPAIGN, AND PROMOTION OF TRAUMA-INFORMED/HEALING-CENTERED SERVICES AND SUPPORTS. WE WILL STRENGTHEN PROTECTIVE FACTORS BY INCREASING KNOWLEDGE AND ACCESS ON ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR MANAGING PAIN, STRESS, AND ANXIETY.
