COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER TRAINING PROGRAM - BETTER HEALTH TOGETHER (BHT), IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY (EWU), COMMUNITY COLLEGES OF SPOKANE, AND THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (WA DOH), IS REQUESTING $3,000,000 IN FUNDING OVER THE THREE-YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO EXPAND THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE THROUGH THE TRAINING OF NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWS) AND HEALTH SUPPORT WORKERS AND TO EXTEND THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. BHT HAS THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE DELIVERY PARTNERS THAT PROVIDE THE CHW TRAINING AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO PULL UPON OUR NETWORK ORGANIZATIONS NEEDED TO DO THIS WORK. THIS INCLUDES THE PROPOSAL PARTNERS LISTED AS WELL AS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE LED BY AND WORK EFFECTIVELY WITH UNDER-RESOURCED POPULATIONS. WE WILL ENGAGE WITH THESE PARTNERS FOR RECRUITMENT, EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING, ON-THE-JOB TRAINING, APPRENTICESHIP, FIELD PLACEMENT, AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. PARTICIPATING PARTNERS INCLUDE LATINOS EN SPOKANE, AMERICAN INDIAN COMMUNITY CENTER, LAKE ROOSEVELT COMMUNITY HEALTH, PICA, RURAL RESOURCES, SPOKANE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, COLUMBIA BASE HEALTH ASSOCIATION, AND THE CARL MAXEY CENTER. OUR PROGRAM WILL REACH POPULATIONS IN OUR REGION WITH THE HIGHEST RISK FOR HEALTH DISPARITIES AND LOW HEALTH LITERACY IN ADAMS AND FERRY COUNTIES, AND SPOKANE RESIDENTS LIVING IN WEST CENTRAL, NORTH CENTRAL, CENTRAL, AND EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOODS. WITHIN THESE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS, BHT WILL FOCUS ON POPULATIONS AT THE HIGHEST RISK FOR HEALTH DISPARITIES AND LOW HEALTH LITERACY; NAMELY BLACK, MARSHALLESE, LATINX, AMERICAN INDIAN (BOTH URBAN AND RURAL), AND LGBTQA2S+. WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS BY: SUPPORTING BIPOC AND OTHER IMPACTED COMMUNITIES BY ESTABLISHING A STRONG RECRUITMENT AND PLACEMENT NETWORK WITH A FOCUS ON BELONGING. ADVANCING A WHOLE-PERSON CARE PERSPECTIVE BY ADDRESSING AND REDUCING THE PARTICIPANTS’ SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH BARRIERS AND NEEDS AS PART OF PROGRAM PARTICIPATION. OPTIMIZING THE USE OF RESOURCES AND INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE BY FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING THE CREATION OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHWS IN NEW SETTINGS. EXPANDING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCESS TO CARE BY CREATING PATHWAYS AND ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL HEALTH SERVICES TRAINING AND CAREER TRAJECTORIES. WE WILL UTILIZE THE FOLLOWING APPROACHES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS: APPROACH 1: CONVENE A PROGRAM STEERING COMMITTEE. BHT WILL ENGAGE A GROUP OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND CHWS TO FORM A STEERING COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE WILL HELP BHT TO GUIDE THIS WORK AND ENSURE THE PROJECT IS ACCOUNTABLE TO IMPACTED COMMUNITIES AND EFFECTIVE IN FILLING PROGRAM NEEDS AND GAPS. APPROACH 2: DEVELOP A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN HUB & SPOKE MODEL. BHT WILL ADOPT A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN “HUB AND SPOKE” MODEL TO PROVIDE RESOURCES, TRAINING, TA, COACHING, MENTORSHIP, PEER ADVOCACY, AND SUPPORT BY TRUSTED ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS WHO ARE TRUSTED ADVOCATES. APPROACH 3: INCLUDE AN OUTREACH SPECIALIST ROLE ON THE PROGRAM TEAM. THIS ROLE WILL BE DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO MEETING THE OBJECTIVES, EXPECTATIONS, AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES INCLUDING RECRUITING CULTURALLY SPECIFIC CHWS. THIS ROLE WILL BE CRITICAL IN ENSURING THAT WE MEET OUR RECRUITMENT GOALS FOR OUR TARGET TRAINEE POPULATION. APPROACH 4: FOSTER A COMMUNITY OF BELONGING. AN APPROACH TO INCREASE EQUITY AND RETENTION FOR OUR PROGRAM WILL BE TO FOSTER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND COMMUNITY AMONG PARTICIPATING CHWS. WE WILL USE THE EASTERN WASHINGTON COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER NETWORK AS A LAUNCHING POINT TO BUILD OUR COMMUNITY OF BELONGING TO PROVIDE A SPACE WHERE THEY CAN BUILD CONNECTIONS AND LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER. APPROACH 5: PROVIDE A VARIETY OF OPTIONS AND FLEXIBILITY. BHT WILL UTILIZE A WHOLE-PERSON PERSPECTIVE AS WE DEVELOP OUR PROGRAM OFFERINGS. AS SUCH, WE WILL STRIVE TO INTRODUCE VARIETY AND FLEXIBILITY INTO THE OPTIONS WE OFFER OUR TRAINEES FOR ENGAGEMENT, MONETARY SUPPORT, WRAP-AROUND SERVICES, EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING SITES, AND UPSKI

DISSEMINABLE EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT FOR THE DENTAL OFFICE: VIRTUAL EXPOSURE TOOLS FOR DENTAL FEAR - NEVR FEAR THE DENTIST - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT EACH YEAR OVER 20 MILLION ADULTS WITH MODERATE FEAR AND OVER 14 MILLION ADULTS WITH SEVERE FEAR VISIT THE DENTIST. BECAUSE FEAR PORTENDS POOR FUTURE ORAL HEALTH, PATIENTS WITH DENTAL FEAR COME TO EXPERIENCE THEIR WORST FEARS: PAIN, SURGICAL PROCEDURES, AND THE NEED FOR MORE FREQUENT DENTAL VISITS. AVOIDANCE IS THE NATURAL AND REINFORCED RESPONSE, IRONICALLY GUARANTEEING A REPETITION OF THE FEARED EVENTS. BREAKING THIS CYCLE IS THE PRIMARY TARGET OF THIS PROPOSAL. STANDARD TREATMENT — COMPASSIONATE BUT ULTIMATELY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE — INCLUDES ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATION OR MORE SUBSTANTIAL ANESTHESIA, WHICH (A) DOES NOTHING TO REDUCE SUBSEQUENT ANXIETY OR AVOIDANCE, (B) LEADS TO CONTINUED DENTAL PROBLEMS, AND (C) PERPETUATES THE CYCLE OF FEAR—>AVOIDANCE—>DENTAL PROBLEMS. ALTERNATIVELY, COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL TREATMENTS (CBT) FOR DENTAL FEAR HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED, SUBJECTED TO DOZENS OF HIGH-QUALITY TRIALS, AND FOUND TO BE EFFICACIOUS. HOWEVER, CBT HAS, ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY, BEEN OFFERED ONLY IN A FEW SPECIALTY CLINICS WORLDWIDE ASSOCIATED WITH UNIVERSITIES; THERE IS NO DISSEMINABLE MODEL FOR INTEGRATING CBT INTO THE WORKFLOW OF DENTAL PRACTICES. TO FILL THIS GAP, THIS FAST-TRACK STTR PROPOSAL DESCRIBES PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A MARKETABLE PRODUCT THAT CAN BRING EFFECTIVE DENTAL FEAR TREATMENT TO DENTAL OFFICES WITHIN THE CURRENTLY EXISTING U.S. PRACTICE ECOSYSTEM. NEVR FEAR THE DENTISTTM IS A COMMERCIALIZABLE SUITE OF SELF-ADMINISTERED EHEALTH TOOLS TO TREAT DENTAL FEAR THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN PRIVATE PRACTICE DENTAL OFFICES THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND IS EMINENTLY SCALABLE. NEVR FEAR THE DENTISTTM COMPRISES THREE MAJOR EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS. FIRST IS A SELF-ADMINISTERED EHEALTH APP FOR CBT/PSYCHOEDUCATION WITH EXPOSURE THERAPY — DELIVERED VIA A MOBILE TABLET — THAT CAN BE USED PRIVATELY IN WAITING ROOMS. SECOND IS A COMMUNICATION-ELICITING INTERVENTION, IN WHICH THE PATIENT RECORDS A “PRE-GAME PLAN” — TO BE REVIEWED WITH THE DENTAL STAFF BEFORE DENTAL SERVICES — COMPRISING (1) PRE-TREATMENT FEAR LEVELS, (2) THE FACTOR GENERATING THE MOST ANXIETY, (3) A STOP-SIGNAL THE PATIENT WILL USE TO ALERT DENTIST, (4) THINGS THE DENTAL TEAM CAN DO TO MAXIMIZE THIS PATIENT'S COMFORT, AND (5) A SELF-GENERATED ANXIETY MANAGEMENT PLAN. ALL PATIENTS IN THE TREATMENT GROUP WILL RECEIVE THE FIRST TWO EBIS AS A SINGLE INTERVENTION ON THE TABLET. THIRD (FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE IN THE SEVERE RANGE) IS A 1-HR VIRTUAL REALITY EXPOSURE TREATMENT (VRET). VRET WILL ALLOW US TO PROVIDE CBT THAT CAN BE SELF-ADMINISTERED WITHIN THE NORMAL OPERATIONS OF DENTISTRY AND WILL ALLOW EVERY DENTAL PRACTICE TO BE A DENTAL FEAR SPECIALTY CLINIC. SUCH AN APPROACH IS NECESSARY TO SHIFT CLINICAL PRACTICE, AS THE NEARLY 200,000 U.S. DENTISTS WILL ONLY ADOPT AN APPROACH DESIGNED, FROM THE BOTTOM UP, TO FIT BOTH THE BUSY-NESS AND BUSINESS OF 21ST-CENTURY DENTAL PRACTICES. THE RESEARCH COMPONENT WILL USE AN ADEQUATELY POWERED RCT TO TEST BOTH (A) THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NEVR FEAR THE DENTISTTM AND, USING THE NIH'S EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE APPROACH TO BEHAVIORAL CHANGE MODEL, (B) WHETHER INHIBITORY LEARNING IS THE MECHANISM THROUGH WHICH IT AFFECTS CHANGE.

IMPROVING ADHERENCE AND OUTCOMES IN EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT FOR OCD: TYPE I EFFECTIVENESS-IMPLEMENTATION RCT AND SCALED DEVELOPMENT OF OC-GO, A CROWDSOURCED INTERACTIVE PATIENT-PROVIDER TOOL - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT THE LONG-TERM GOALS OF THIS PROPOSAL ARE TO IMPROVE TREATMENT ADHERENCE AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN EVIDENCE- BASED TREATMENT (EBT) FOR OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD), A HIGH BASE RATE DISORDER AND LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY WORLDWIDE. GUIDELINES UNIFORMLY RECOMMEND EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE PREVENTION (ERP) AS THE FRONT- LINE TREATMENT. META-ANALYSES CONSISTENTLY FIND LARGE ERP EFFECTS, WITH ABOUT HALF OF TREATMENT COMPLETERS ATTAINING COMPLETE REMISSION. YET, UP TO 40% OF PATIENTS DO NOT FULLY RESPOND. PATIENT ADHERENCE TO TREATMENT TASKS BETWEEN SESSIONS, I.E., HOMEWORK ADHERENCE, IS BY FAR THE STRONGEST PREDICTOR OF TREATMENT OUTCOMES. THUS, IMPROVING SUCH ADHERENCE WILL LIKELY PRODUCE GREATER OCD REDUCTIONS. THE LITERATURE INDICATES THAT A LACK OF REAL- TIME SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS BETWEEN SESSIONS AND A LACK OF SUPPORT FOR THERAPISTS AFTER INITIAL ERP TRAININGS TO LEARN HOW TO PRIORITIZE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS IN PRACTICE BOTH CONTRIBUTE TO POOR ERP OUTCOMES. YET, STANDARDS TO SUPPORT HOMEWORK RELY ON PEN-AND-PAPER TRACKING METHODS, WHICH HAVE NOT CHANGED IN 40 YEARS. THUS, NEW SOLUTIONS ARE NEEDED TO ENHANCE ADHERENCE AND IMPROVE CLINICAL OUTCOMES, IN LINE WITH NIMH STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES 3.2, 3.3B, 4.2, AND 4.3. OC-GO IS A NOVEL INTERACTIVE DIGITAL HEALTH TOOL DESIGNED TO IMPROVE ERP ADHERENCE BY LEVERAGING THE EMPIRICAL PREDICTORS OF ADHERENCE. THE PLATFORM ALLOWS THERAPISTS TO CREATE AND PUSH TAILORED MULTIMEDIA BEHAVIORALLY INTERACTIVE ASSIGNMENTS TO PATIENT MOBILE DEVICES, PROVIDING STEP-BY-STEP REAL- TIME INTERACTIVE GUIDANCE AND HOMEWORK SUPPORT, FACILITATING A MEANS FOR CLINICIANS AND EXPERTS TO “APPIFY” BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROTOCOLS WITHOUT HAVING TO KNOW HOW TO CODE, AND A MEANS TO SHARE CREATED ACTIVITIES TO A CURATED AND SEARCHABLE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR OTHER THERAPISTS TO LEARN FROM AND USE. THUS, OC-GO FACILITATES EXPERIENTIAL SUPPORT IN PRACTICE FOR BOTH PATIENTS AND CLINICIANS, LEVERAGING MHEALTH, ASYNCHRONOUS TELEHEALTH, AND CROWDSOURCING FOR A NEW PARADIGM OF HIGH-FIDELITY CBT IMPLEMENTATION. EARLY PROTOTYPE TESTING IN A SMALL RCT PILOT DEMONSTRATED THAT OC-GO INCREASED ADHERENCE BY 22% AND DOUBLED THE MODELED TREATMENT EFFECT. THE PLATFORM ALSO SCORED HIGH ON USABILITY MEASURES, HOWEVER NEXT-STAGE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL FEATURES IS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT AT SCALE CROWDSOURCING AND COMMERCIALIZATION. PHASE I AIMS OF THIS FAST-TRACK PROPOSAL ARE TO DEVELOP AND TEST THOSE REQUIRED FUNCTIONS USING A NATIONAL SAMPLE OF 105 ERP THERAPISTS TO PROVIDE STAGED FEEDBACK FOR AGILE DEVELOPMENT. PHASE II AIMS ARE TO: 1) TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OC-GO FOR IMPROVING HOMEWORK ADHERENCE AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES, AND 2) IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS IMPLEMENTATION BARRIERS VIA A HYBRID TYPE I EFFECTIVENESS- IMPLEMENTATION RCT (N = 160 PATIENTS, 60 THERAPISTS) IN THE OCD & ANXIETY CENTER (OAC) OUTPATIENT NETWORK. THE PROPOSAL IS SUPPORTED BY NIMH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TOOLS TO IMPROVE EBT ADHERENCE AND FOR PEER-TO-PEER LEARNING TOOLS IN NETWORKS, A WELL-SPECIFIED COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN, OAC INTENTION OF CONTRACTING GIVEN POSITIVE RESULTS, AND INTEREST FROM OVER 100 CLINICIANS, DOZENS OF MENTAL HEALTH INSTITUTIONS, AN EXCEPTIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THOUGHT LEADERS AND DEVELOPERS OF 16 EBTS, AND OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, THE LEADING PUBLISHER OF EBT MANUALS.

SIMULATED EXPOSURE TRAINER (SET-VR): IMPLEMENTING TARGETED EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING WITH A VIRTUAL PATIENT - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT DESPITE THE EXISTENCE OF NUMEROUS, WELL-ESTABLISHED EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (EBPS) FOR MENTAL DISORDERS, IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DISSEMINATE THESE PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS. EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST GLARING EXAMPLES OF THIS RESEARCH-TO-PRACTICE GAP. JUST AS PATIENTS ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT APPROACHING THEIR FEARS, THERAPISTS ARE OFTEN RELUCTANT TO USE EXPOSURE THERAPY DUE TO THEIR OWN ANXIOUS BELIEFS THAT IT MAY BE DANGEROUS AND/OR INTOLERABLE FOR PATIENTS, EVEN AFTER RECEIVING SPECIALIZED EXPOSURE TRAINING. EMERGING TRAINING RESEARCH SUGGESTS THE INCLUSION OF TARGETED BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES (I.E., ROLE PLAY, SELF-EXPOSURE) CAN REDUCE ANXIOUS BELIEFS ABOVE AND BEYOND STANDARD DIDACTIC TRAINING SESSIONS. BY LEVERAGING THE SAME BEHAVIOR CHANGE PRINCIPLES THAT REDUCE PATIENT ANXIETY (I.E., EXPOSURE), BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES CAN BE TAILORED TO TARGET THERAPISTS’ ANXIOUS BELIEFS ABOUT THE TREATMENT (I.E., CONDUCT TRAINING AS “EXPOSURE TO EXPOSURE”). UNFORTUNATELY, CURRENT EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING TASKS HAVE FAILED TO CLOSELY REPLICATE COMMONLY FEARED CLINICAL CONTEXTS, AND AS A RESULT LACK THE NECESSARY POTENCY TO POTENTIALLY OVERCOME THERAPIST-LEVEL BARRIERS FOR UPTAKE AND QUALITY TREATMENT DELIVERY FOLLOWING TRAINING. VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) HAS DEMONSTRATED UTILITY AS A POTENT AND COST- EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR DELIVERING EXPOSURE. WE PLAN TO INVESTIGATE THE APPLICATION OF VR AS A TAILORED TRAINING TOOL (I.E., VIRTUAL “EXPOSURE TO EXPOSURE” FOR THERAPISTS) CAPABLE OF ENHANCING THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THAT IS LACKING IN CURRENT EXPOSURE TRAINING INITIATIVES. THE PROPOSED 20-MONTH PHASE I STTR STUDY WILL TEST THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A VR TRAINING PROGRAM DELIVERED ON TWO PLATFORMS (I.E., VR HEADSET AND WEB-BASED) TO ASSESS WHICH PLATFORM PROVIDES THE IDEAL BALANCE OF IMMERSION, USABILITY, TARGET ENGAGEMENT, AND SCALABILITY. THE STUDY TAKES PLACE IN THREE STAGES: 1) INITIAL DEVELOPMENT, 2) ITERATIVE EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT TO OPTIMIZE USABILITY, 3) CLINICAL TRAINING TRIAL TO ESTABLISH TARGET ENGAGEMENT. USABILITY AND TARGET ENGAGEMENT INFORMATION FROM THIS PILOT TRIAL WILL SUPPORT A PHASE II STTR PROJECT AIMED AT BUILDING OUT AND BROADLY DISSEMINATING THE VR- ENHANCED TRAINING APPROACH.

CLUTTER-GO: FACILITATING DELIVERY AND ADHERENCE IN EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT FOR HOARDING DISORDER VIA A PATIENT-PROVIDER DIGITAL HEALTH TOOL - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT HOARDING DISORDER (HD) IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE ACQUISITION OF AND FAILURE TO DISCARD MATERIALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ACTUAL VALUE, RESULTING IN A DYSFUNCTIONAL ACCUMULATION OF POSSESSIONS. THE DISORDER AFFECTS 2.5% OF THE U.S. POPULATION DAILY (~6.5 MILLION INDIVIDUALS). HD CAUSES SIGNIFICANT FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT, REDUCED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND REPRESENTS A SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ECONOMIC BURDEN. THE ONLY EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT (EBT) FOR HD IS A SPECIALIZED FORM OF COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT). THE TREATMENT IS ASSOCIATED WITH LARGE EFFECT SIZES ON AVERAGE; HOWEVER, MANY DO NOT RESPOND DUE TO LIMITED ADHERENCE TO AT-HOME BEHAVIORAL ASSIGNMENTS. ON AVERAGE, PATIENTS WITH HD COMPLETE LESS THAN HALF OF THEIR ASSIGNED CBT HOMEWORK. BETWEEN-SESSION BEHAVIORAL AVOIDANCE AND DISTRESS, LACK OF IN-THE- MOMENT SUPPORT AND ACCOUNTABILITY, AND LIMITED METHODS TO OBJECTIVELY MEASURE HOMEWORK COMPLETION ALL CONTRIBUTE TO LOW PATIENT ADHERENCE, WHICH IN TURN PREDICTS TREATMENT NON-RESPONSE. THE CURRENT PHASE I STTR SEEKS TO DEVELOP AND ASSESS AN ASYNCHRONOUS TELEHEALTH TOOL AND DIGITAL SUPPORT RESOURCE TO ASSIST IN FACILITATING DELIVERY OF AND ADHERENCE TO CBT FOR HD. CLUTTER-GO™ WILL CONSIST OF A WEB-BASED CLINICIAN PORTAL AND PATIENT-SIDE MOBILE APP DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR HD TREATMENT. THE PLATFORM WILL ALLOW CLINICIANS TO ACCESS EXPERT-CREATED EBT HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS THAT CAN BE PUSHED TO PATIENTS’ MOBILE DEVICES. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL PEN AND PAPER HOMEWORK LISTS AND LOGS, CLUTTER-GO™ WILL CONTAIN A LIBRARY OF STEP-BY-STEP BEHAVIORALLY INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. THUS, PATIENTS CAN DO ASSIGNMENTS BY THEMSELVES WITH INCREASED REAL-TIME SUPPORT AND TRACKING. THE PLATFORM ALLOWS FOR JUST- IN-TIME PSYCHOEDUCATION VIDEOS, COPING SKILLS, EMOTIONAL PROCESSING, AND THERAPEUTIC ACCOUNTABILITY VIA ASYNCHRONOUS CONNECTION TO THERAPISTS, WHO CAN MONITOR OBJECTIVE RESULTS IMMEDIATELY. IMPORTANTLY, A SET OF IMAGE AND VIDEO CAPTURE TOOLS WITH VISUAL OVERLAYS MAKE IT EASY TO TRACK PROGRESS OVER TIME TO PROMOTE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. ULTIMATELY, USE OF CLUTTER-GO™ IS EXPECTED TO FACILITATE PATIENT ADHERENCE, TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS, PROVIDER FIDELITY, AND DISSEMINATION OF EBT FOR HD. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO CREATE A RIGOROUSLY VETTED AND HIGHLY USABLE PLATFORM FOR PHASE II TESTING, VIA FOUR STEPWISE AIMS. AIM 1 IS TO COMPLETE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRODUCT BUILD BASED ON INPUT FROM INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN EXPERTS IN HD TREATMENT. AIM 2 IS TO ITERATIVELY REFINE THE CLINICIAN USER INTERFACE (UI) VIA CONSULTATION AND USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING (UAT) WITH (N = 20) LICENSED CLINICIANS WHO TREAT HD. AIM 3 IS TO ITERATIVELY REFINE THE PATIENT UI VIA CONSULTATION AND UAT WITH (N = 12) INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH HD. FINALLY, AIM 4 IS TO CONFIRM THE PLATFORM BY ALLOWING THE EXPERT CONSULTANTS AND LICENSED CLINICIANS RE-TEST THE PATIENT-VETTED PRODUCT FOR A FINAL ROUND OF ITERATIONS. THE PRIMARY OUTCOME CRITERION IS EXCEPTIONAL PLATFORM USABILITY AS MEASURED BY AN INDUSTRY-STANDARD USABILITY SCALE SHOWN TO PREDICT ULTIMATE PRODUCT SUCCESS. POSITIVE RESULTS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A PHASE II APPLICATION TO TEST THE CLINICAL EFFICACY OF CLUTTER-GO™ IN A LARGE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL AND TO CONTINUE IMPROVEMENTS VIA LARGE SCALE UAT.

COALITION FOR A BETTER WALLINGFORD - THE COALITION FOR A BETTER WALLINGFORD IS EMBARKING ON A TRANSFORMATIVE INITIATIVE TO PREVENT AND REDUCE YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SEEKING FUNDING FROM THE DRUG-FREE COMMUNITIES (DFC) GRANT, THE COALITION SEEKS TO ESTABLISH ITS FIRST STRATEGIC PREVENTION PLAN, INFORMED BY EVIDENCE-BASED DATA FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC). THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL ADHERE TO THE SEVEN STRATEGIES MODEL, ADDRESSING CRITICAL AREAS OF PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION TO FOSTER A HEALTHIER, SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUTH IN WALLINGFORD. THE FOUNDATION OF THIS PROJECT LIES IN THE COALITION'S COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND COLLABORATION. WITH A NEWLY ELECTED BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND REPRESENTATION FROM THE TWELVE SECTORS, THE COALITION HAS EVOLVED SIGNIFICANTLY, POSITIONING ITSELF TO PROVIDE INTERVENTIONAL SERVICES AS WELL AS EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY IN ADDRESSING SUBSTANCE USE ISSUES. BUILDING ON OUR PAST SUCCESSES, SUCH AS OUR IN-SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS, AND BY HARNESSING THE EXPERTISE OF COALITION STAFF AND PARTNERING WITH CHANANA CONSULTING, THE ORGANIZATION WILL CONDUCT A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNITY NEEDS AND RISK FACTORS, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR TARGETED. AINTERVENTIONS. AN IMPORTANT OF THIS STRATEGIC DIRECTION WILL BE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY ASSSEMENT AND THE TWO-TIERD APPROACH TO DEFINING SHORT AND LONG-TERM GOALS, DEVELOPING RELEVANT PERFORMANCE MEASURES, AND SYSTEMS FOR GATHERING AND EVALUATING OUTCOMES. ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVING OUR GOALS IS HIRING A TRAINED SUBSTANCE USE PREVENTION SPECIALIST TO INFORM THE PLAN AND DEVELOP PROGRAMMING THAT WILL MEET THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHIC. FOR EXAMPLE, THE COALITION WILL LAUNCH AN ALCOHOL PREVENTION PROGRAM, OFFERING COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING FOR LIQUOR STORE EMPLOYEES TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE ALCOHOL SALES AND PREVENT UNDERAGE DRINKING. ADDITIONALLY, THE COALITION WILL HOST COMMUNITY FORUMS AND TOWN HALL MEETINGS, INVITING STAKEHOLDERS TO FACILITATE DIALOGUE AND RAISE AWARENESS AROUND SUBSTANCE USE ISSUES THAT VARY ACROSS DIFFERENT POPULATIONS. EVALUATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE INTEGRAL TO THIS PROJECT, ENSURING THAT INTERVENTIONS ARE EFFECTIVE AND RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS. THROUGH RIGOROUS DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS, INCLUDING IMPLEMENT A SERIES OF SURVEYS AND INVITING THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK, THE COALITION WILL MEASURE OUTCOMES SUCH AS RATES OF SUBSTANCE USE, PERCEPTIONS OF HARM, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THESE METRICS WILL INFORM THE ONGOING REFINEMENT OF THE STRATEGIS PLAN, ENABLING THE COALITION TO ADAPT AND INNOVATE IN REAL TIME. OVERALL, THE PROJECT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD IN THE COALITION'S MISSION TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY WELL-BEING AND SUPPORT THE HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH IN WALLINGFORD. BY LEVERAGING EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES, FOSTERING COLLABORATION, AND EMPOWERING COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, THE COALITION AIMS TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE AND PROMOTE A CULTURE OF WELLNESS AND RESILIENCE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. WE ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT THIS PLAN WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE AND CREATE A SAFE.

ACTION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY OF BUTTE COUNTY (ABC-BC) COALITION'S PRIORITY IS UNDERAGE DRINKING BY YOUTH AGES 12-18 AND ILLEGAL USE OF MARIJUANA IN BUTTE COUNTY SD. - ACTION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY OF BUTTE COUNTY (ABC-BC) WAS ORIGINALLY FOUNDED IN 2010, AS THE BELLE FOURCHE COMMUNITY COALITION, WITH THE GOAL OF REDUCING UNDERAGE DRINKING, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND VIOLENCE. BUTTE COUNTY, SITS ON HIGHWAY 85, WHICH IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY THROUGH THE MIDWEST. WITH A COMBINATION OF LOW POPULATION DENSITY, LOW-PAYING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, HIGH AGRIBUSINESS EMPLOYMENT, BUTTE COUNTY’S ESTIMATED POPULATION FOR 2023 IS 10,774. DUE TO THE GROWTH, THE COMMUNITY NEEDS HAVE CHANGED AND THE COMMUNITY HAS SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE AREAS OF YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE AND A LACK OF PREVENTION PROGRAMING AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT CENSUS DATA, THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN BUTTE COUNTY IS BELOW THE STATE AVERAGE AT $49,353 (SOUTH DAKOTA $59,896). ACCORDING TO THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, BUTTE COUNTY HAS 21% OF THE YOUTH LIVING IN SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS. ACCORDING TO THE 2019 KIDS COUNT FACTBOOK, BUTTE COUNTY HAS 47% FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH POPULATION IN ITS SCHOOLS, THE STATE AVERAGE IS 40% INCLUDING RESERVATIONS. WITH A RATE OF 4.6% UNEMPLOYMENT IN BUTTE COUNTY MOST RESIDENTS TRAVEL AN AVERAGE OF 23.7 MINUTES TO WORK, (THE STATE AVERAGE IS 16.9 MINUTES). THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE FOR BUTTE COUNTY IS ONLY 88.3%. ONLY 27% OF THE POPULATION HAS A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. THIS IS ROUGHLY 5% TO 10% LESS THAN BUTTE COUNTY'S TWO NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. BUTTE COUNTY BORDERS A UNIVERSITY TOWN, WHERE THE COST OF LIVING IS QUITE HIGHER THAN IN BUTTE COUNTY. THE BUSINESS SECTOR, AS WELL AS THE SCHOOL AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, UNDERSTAND THE NECESSITY FOR PREVENTION ACTIVITIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO SUSTAIN EFFORTS TOWARD EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMMING THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE COMMUNITY IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE NUMEROUS PARENTS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE SUPPORTIVE OF PREVENTION EFFORTS. THE GOALS OF THE COALITION ARE: (1) INCREASE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION; AND (2) REDUCE YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE THE COALITION WILL ACHIEVE ITS GOALS BY IMPLEMENTING THESE STRATEGIES: (1) EXPAND MEMBERSHIP TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FROM EACH OF THE 12 SECTORS. (2) MAINTAIN COALITION INVOLVEMENT IN PREVENTION PROGRAMMING WITH CONTINUED EDUCATION AND MENTORING OF NEW AND EXISTING COALITION MEMBERS. (3) EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ON THE RETAIL ACCESS TO ALCOHOL BY MINORS. (4) INCREASE YOUTH'S KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO MAKE HEALTHIER DECISIONS RELATED TO SUBSTANCE USE AND ABUSE. (5) INCREASE THE YOUTH’S MOTIVATION AND SKILLS TO SET AND MONITOR MULTIPLE HEALTH BEHAVIOR GOALS BY PROVIDING BRIEF INTEGRATED INTERVENTIONS TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY. (6) REDUCE ACCESS AND ENHANCE BARRIERS TO THE SOCIAL ACCESS OF ALCOHOL TO MINORS. (7) ENFORCE LAWS CONTRIBUTING TO THE ILLEGAL USE OF MARIJUANA AND DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MARIJUANA.

ADVANCED BIOFEEDBACK MECHANISMS FOR REALISTIC HEMORRHAGE CONTROL TRAINING - PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT UNCONTROLLED HEMORRHAGE REMAINS THE LEADING CAUSE OF PREVENTABLE DEATH IN MILITARY COMBAT, WITH EXTREMITY AND JUNCTIONAL INJURIES ACCOUNTING FOR NEARLY 50% OF SUCH FATALITIES. DESPITE MILITARY PERSONNEL RECEIVING HEMORRHAGE CONTROL TRAINING, STUDIES INDICATE LOW SKILL RETENTION AND INEFFECTIVE INTERVENTION UNDER HIGH-STRESS CONDITIONS. CURRENT TRAINING MODELS LACK OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK AND REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT INSTRUCTOR RESOURCES, CONTRIBUTING TO INCONSISTENT PROFICIENCY AMONG TRAINEES EVEN AFTER RESOURCE-INTENSIVE TRAINING. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO DEVELOP AND OPTIMIZE A BIOFEEDBACK-INTEGRATED HEMORRHAGE CONTROL TRAINING SYSTEM TO ADDRESS THESE CRITICAL DEFICIENCIES. BY IMPROVING THE ACCURACY AND REALISM OF HEMORRHAGE TRAINING, THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL ENHANCE SKILL ACQUISITION AND RETENTION, ULTIMATELY REDUCING PREVENTABLE BATTLEFIELD FATALITIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS MANIKIN WILL HAVE BROAD APPLICABILITY BEYOND MILITARY SETTINGS, BENEFITING CIVILIAN EMERGENCY RESPONDERS, MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS, AND PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES. IMMEDIATE GOALS AIM TO IMPROVE THE SIMULATOR TO GENERATE EFFICIENT, COST-EFFECTIVE, AND SKILL-RETAINING TRAINING FOR MILITARY USE, WHILE THE PROJECT’S LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE A SCALABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE TRAINING SOLUTION THAT SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCES HEMORRHAGE CONTROL EDUCATION FOR PERI-MILITARY AND CIVILIAN POPULATIONS AS WELL. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH ALIGNS WITH NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES BY IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSING PREVENTABLE DEATHS IN MILITARY COMBAT, AND EVENTUALLY DECREASING SIGNIFICANT BURDEN OF TRAUMA-RELATED DEATHS AND ASSOCIATED HEALTHCARE COSTS, WHICH EXCEED $660 BILLION ANNUALLY IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY IS STRUCTURED AROUND TWO PRIMARY AIMS. THE FIRST IS TO REFINE THE EXISTING BLEEDING CONTROL MANIKIN PROTOTYPE BY CALIBRATING PRESSURE SENSORS TO DETECT SUBTLE FORCE VARIATIONS, ENSURING ACCURATE REAL-TIME FEEDBACK FOR HEMORRHAGE CONTROL TECHNIQUES. THE GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE A DETECTION ACCURACY WITHIN ±5% OF APPLIED FORCE AND AT LEAST 85% ACCURACY OF INTEGRATED SENSORS. ADDITIONALLY, A SELF-CONTAINED FLUID RESERVOIR WILL BE DEVELOPED WITHIN THE MANIKIN TORSO TO SUSTAIN PHYSIOLOGIC BLEEDING SIMULATIONS WITHOUT REQUIRING FREQUENT REFILLING, ALLOWING FOR CONTINUOUS TRAINING SESSIONS OF AT LEAST 60 MINUTES. THE SECOND AIM FOCUSES ON OPTIMIZING USER INTERACTION AND FEEDBACK BY ENHANCING FORCE DETECTION WITHIN THE WOUND BED TO ENSURE ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF APPLIED INTERVENTIONS. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY OPTIMIZING SENSOR PLACEMENT FOR AT LEAST 90% FORCE DETECTION COVERAGE AND VALIDATING ACCURACY WITHIN ±15%. THE SYSTEM’S BIOFEEDBACK INDICATORS WILL ALSO BE IMPROVED TO PROVIDE CLEARER VISUAL AND AUDITORY RESPONSES, ENSURING THAT FLOW RATE CHANGES ARE RECOGNIZED WITHIN 0.5 SECONDS OF AN INTERVENTION. THE RESEARCH EMPLOYS A COMBINATION OF EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, AND ITERATIVE PROTOTYPE REFINEMENT. CONTROLLED TRIALS WILL COMPARE SENSOR OUTPUTS TO KNOWN APPLIED FORCES, WHILE USABILITY TESTING WILL ASSESS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS. KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS INCLUDE SENSOR ACCURACY AND FEEDBACK RESPONSIVENESS.

NEW, NON-INVASIVE (NO-PUFF, NO-TOUCH), TONOMETRY METHOD: REMOTE PHOTONIC IOP BIOMONITORING USING THE DAMPING FACTOR OF TRANSITIONAL OSCILLATIONS AFTER TERMINATING ITS STIMULATION BY A SOUND WAVE. - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT GLAUCOMA IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF IRREVERSIBLE BLINDNESS AFFECTING MORE THAN 5 MILLION AMERICANS AND COSTING THE U.S. ECONOMY $2.86 BILLION/YEAR. CURRENT GLAUCOMA TREATMENTS INCLUDE FREQUENT EYE-CONTACTING INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE (IOP) MEASUREMENTS REQUIRING ANESTHETIC EYE DROPS AND INTERPRETATION BY TRAINED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WHICH INTRODUCES BIAS. OUR METHODOLOGY, PHOTONIC IOP BIOMONITORING (PIB), ALLOWS HIGH- PRECISION, NON-CONTACT, NON-AIR PUFF, REPRODUCIBLE AND SEMI-CONTINUOUS IOP MONITORING WITHOUT CLINICIAN INTERPRETATION. PIB MEASURES SOUND WAVE INDUCED SCLERAL OSCILLATIONS BY MONITORING LASER SPECKLE PATTERNS. PHYSICAL MODELLING WITH MACHINE LEARNING (ML) ALGORITHMS DEDUCE IOP. ULTIMATELY, OUR GOAL IS MINIATURIZATION INTO MONOCULARS OR EYEGLASSES ALLOWING PATIENTS TO TAKE REAL-TIME IOP MEASUREMENTS RELAYED TO PHYSICIANS FOR TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND MEDICATION DISPENSING THROUGH A SMART PHONE-BASED SYSTEM. AIM 1: DEVELOP A PHYSICAL MODEL TO SEED ML ALGORITHMS FOR IOP RESOLUTION, ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY. ML IS SEEDED WITH A RANDOM INITIAL STATE WHEN NO TEST SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE IS AVAILABLE. IN CONTRAST, A PHYSICAL MODEL BASED ON NEWTON’S EQUATIONS OF MOTION INDICATES THE VALUE OF A CONTINUOUS VARIABLE (IOP) GIVEN PHYSICAL PARAMETER VALUES CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TEST SUBJECT. ULTIMATELY, A PHYSICAL MODEL WOULD IDENTIFY IOP WITHOUT FURTHER ML CLASS REGRESSION. PIB FREE FROM ML OPTIMIZATION ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR CALIBRATION AND PHYSICIAN INTERPRETATION. OUTPUT OF THIS PHYSICAL MODEL WILL SEED SIMPLER ML ALGORITHMS TO ACHIEVE BETTER RESOLUTION, ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY. HYPOTHESIS 1A: PORCINE EYE PIB MEASUREMENTS CAN ACHIEVE RESOLUTION OF ≤1 MMHG. HYPOTHESIS 1B: PORCINE EYE PIB IOP MEASUREMENTS WILL YIELD ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY OF 2 MMHG STANDARD DEVIATION OR LESS. THESE HYPOTHESES WILL BE TESTED BY MEASURING PORCINE EYES WITH IOP WITHIN THE RANGE OF 5 MMHG UP TO 60 MMHG. AIM 2: IMPLEMENT PUPIL MONITORING: AN EYE POSITION MONITORING SYSTEM WILL AID SUBJECTS IN KEEPING THEIR PUPIL DIRECTED AT THE PUPIL MONITOR. DEVIATIONS FROM THIS NOMINAL POSITION WILL TURN OFF THE LASER AND PAUSE DATA ACQUISITION. HYPOTHESIS 2A: MONITORING EYE POSITION WILL IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY. HYPOTHESIS 2B: TEMPORAL FILTERING OF LARGE DEVIATIONS WILL IMPROVE MEASUREMENT ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY. FEASIBILITY WILL BE ASSESSED BY 1) SHOWING THAT LIGHT ENTERING THE PORCINE PUPIL CANNOT EXCEED A THRESHOLD BELOW THE STANDARD SAFETY CRITERIA OF 0.6MW, AND 2) BY SHOWING THAT IOP PREDICTION ACCURACY, PRECISION AND REPEATABILITY IMPROVES IN PIG EYE TESTS BY INCORPORATING EYE POSITION DATA. AIM 3: ASSESS PIB REPEATABILITY IN HUMAN EYES: PIB TESTS OF 30 HEALTHY HUMAN EYES (15 HEALTHY HUMAN SUBJECTS) IN PHASE I WILL INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP IN A SUBSEQUENT PHASE II TRIAL. HYPOTHESIS 3A: PIB REPEATABILITY IN HUMAN EYES IS EQUAL TO THAT OF A COMPARABLE SET OF PIG EYES AIM 4: SAFETY AND COMFORT: WE WILL MONITOR FOR PATIENT COMFORT AND SIGNS OF CORNEAL SUPERFICIAL PUNCTATE EPITHELIAL EROSIONS OR DRYNESS. HYPOTHESIS 3B: PIB WILL BE FOUND INNOCUOUS AS EVALUATED BY COMPARABLE OR FEWER ADVERSE EVENTS THAN GAT AND COMPARABLE OR GREATER COMFORT.

SMALL BUSINESSES ARE THE BACKBONE OF RURAL ECONOMIES, ACCOUNTING FOR MORE THAN 56% OF EMPLOYMENT OUTSIDE OF METROPOLITAN AREAS (U.S. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION). HOWEVER, RURAL SMALL BUSINESSES FACE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH CHALLENGES, WITH 82% OF RURAL SMALL BUSINESSES HAVING NO PAID EMPLOYEES. BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE, MANY RURAL BUSINESSES ARE TOO SMALL TO GET THE BEST PRICES FROM SUPPLIERS, INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGY, OR DEDICATE TIME TO IMPROVING HOW THEY PURCHASE GOODS AND SERVICES (I.E., THEY HAVE LIMITED PURCHASING POWER). PURCHASING COOPERATIVES HELP ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE BY BRINGING BUSINESSES TOGETHER SO THEY CAN PURCHASE GOODS AND SERVICES AS A GROUP. BY COMBINING THEIR PURCHASING NEEDS, BUSINESSES CAN NEGOTIATE PRICE DISCOUNTS THAT MAY OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE ONLY TO LARGER COMPANIES--AND THEY CAN USE THOSE SAVINGS TO RE-INVEST IN EMPLOYEES, NEW TECHNOLOGY, AND BUSINESS EXPANSION.COOPERATIVES FOR A BETTER WORLD (DBA START.COOP) WILL IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF RURAL COMMUNITIES (TARGETING KANSAS, MISSOURI, MONTANA, NEW MEXICO, AND OKLAHOMA) BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR RURAL BUSINESSES TO START, EXPAND, AND/OR STRENGTHEN PURCHASING COOPERATIVES. START.COOP'S METHODOLOGY INCLUDES PROVIDING HANDS-ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, COHORT-BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES, AND ADOPTION OF AI-POWERED TOOLS TO HELP RURAL SMALL BUSINESSES LAUNCH AND SCALE PURCHASING COOPERATIVES. THESE SERVICES WILL BE DELIVERED THROUGH VIRTUAL CLASSES, ONE-ON-ONE COACHING, AND ONLINE LEARNING RESOURCES.ULTIMATELY, THIS PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF CREATING AND PRESERVING JOBS, STRENGTHENING SMALL BUSINESSES, AND BUILDING THE LONG-TERM ECONOMIC VITALITY OF RURAL COMMUNITIES. BY LEVERAGING PURCHASING COOPERATIVES AS A WAY FOR BUSINESSES TO IMPROVE THEIR COLLECTIVE PURCHASING POWER AND REDUCE COSTS, THE PROJECT WILL HELP SMALL BUSINESSES BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE AND BETTER POSITIONED FOR GROWTH. THE BROADER IMPACT WILL BE STRONGER RURAL ECONOMIES, GREATER COMMUNITY WEALTH, AND MORE STABLE EMPLOYMENT, HELPING RURAL BUSINESSES AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE NOT ONLY SURVIVE, BUT THRIVE.

ABC WILL WORK TO ADDRESS UNDERAGE DRINKING IN MEADE COUNTY AMONG YOUTH AGES 12-20 BY INCREASING COMMUNITY COLLABORATION AND IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES. - MEADE COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA (3,483 SQ MILES) IS THE THIRD LARGEST COUNTY IN LAND SIZE IN THE UNITED STATES AND HAS A COMBINATION OF LOW POPULATION DENSITY, HIGH AGRIBUSINESS EMPLOYMENT, AND LOW PAYING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT, PERSISTENT CHALLENGES IN THE IDENTIFIED ABC STOP ACT TARGET AREA. ALTHOUGH THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR MEADE COUNTY ($59,563) IS ABOVE THE STATE ($56,871), THE PER-CAPITA INCOME FOR MEADE COUNTY ($26,896) RESIDENCE IS BELOW THE STATE ($28,761) DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF FAMILIES LIVING IN MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOUSEHOLDS AND/OR MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGS. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (3.1), IS ALSO HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE OF 2.8%. STURGIS IS HOME TO THE FAMOUS STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY. THIS ANNUAL GATHERING OF ROUGHLY 500,000 BIKERS, BRINGS A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES. HIGH ON THIS LIST IS UNDERAGE DRINKING. WHILE THE STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY OFFICIALLY RUNS ONLY TEN DAYS EACH YEAR, IT BRINGS MANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS AN INCREASE IN SUBSTANCE AVAILABILITY AND DRUG USE; EXPOSURE TO PUBLIC INTOXICATION; EXPOSURE TO NUDITY AND OTHER BEHAVIORS THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOUTH. MANY OF THESE EFFECTS STAY LONG AFTER THE RALLY HAS ENDED. IN A 2018 REPORT FROM THE STURGIS POLICE DEPARTMENT, THERE ARE 23 ON-OR-OFF-SALE ESTABLISHMENTS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AND AN ADDITIONAL 12 OFF-SALE-ONLY ESTABLISHMENTS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE POPULATION OF STURGIS, SD IS 6,620 OR ONE ESTABLISHMENT FOR EVERY 189 PEOPLE, WHERE AS SOUTH DAKOTA HAS 1 LIQUOR STORE PER 11,111 RESIDENTS ACCORDING TO THE SEOW REPORT. THE GOALS OF THE COALITION ARE: (1) INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF THE LOCAL COALITION TO REDUCE HIGH-RISK BEHAVIORS OF STUDENTS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE, THROUGH COOPERATION AND COORDINATION AMONG CITY, COUNTY, AND STATE AGENCIES AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS; AND (2) REDUCE ALCOHOL USE AMONG YOUTH AGES 12-20. THE COALITION WILL WORK TO IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THAT ADDRESS BOTH THE RETAIL AND SOCIAL ACCESS OF ALCOHOL BY YOUTH AGES (12-20).

THE PRIORITY OF THE STURGIS POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE COALITION IS TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF YOUTH DRINKING ALCOHOL ILLEGALLY AND THE USE OF ILLEGAL MARIJUANA IN THE GREATER STURGIS AREA. - STURGIS IS A SMALL CITY LOCATED IN MEADE COUNTY, IN WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA, NESTLED IN THE NORTHERN BLACK HILLS REGION. AS OF THE 2020 CENSUS, STURGIS HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 7,000 RESIDENTS, WITH APPROXIMATELY 20% UNDER THE AGE OF 18. THE CITY IS BEST KNOWN NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY FOR THE STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY, HELD EVERY AUGUST, WHICH BRINGS IN OVER 500,000 VISITORS—TEMPORARILY INCREASING THE CITY’S POPULATION AND POTENTIALLY IMPACTING YOUTH EXPOSURE TO SUBSTANCES. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED BELOW TELLS A STORY OF A RURAL COMMUNITY WITH ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEMS. LOOKING AT THE PROGRESSION OF YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE, A FEW PATTERNS START TO EMERGE. FIRST, A SMALL COMMUNITY NEGATIVELY AFFECTED FROM YEARS OF SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE BY THE COMMUNITY TO USE ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS TO PARTY. SEEN BY THE ANNUAL MOTORCYCLE RALLY THAT BRINGS IN UP TO A HALF A MILLION PEOPLE TO PARTY FOR TEN DAYS EACH YEAR. AN ANNUAL EVENT THAT BRINGS WITH IT EASY ACCESSIBILITY TO DRUGS FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS. SECOND, A SENATE BILL THAT VIEWS SUBSTANCE RELATED OFFENSES IN A CITATION MANNER. ALTHOUGH THE BILL ENCOURAGES THE USE OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING, THE STATE HAS NOT PROVIDED APPROPRIATE FUNDING FOR THESE PROGRAMS. A BILL THAT HAS CAUSED LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, PROBATION OFFICERS, AND THE STATE'S ATTORNEY TO FEEL AS IF THEY CAN NO LONGER “DO ANYTHING” ABOUT THE YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. A SYSTEM WHERE THERE IS NO WAY TO FORCE THE YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH DIVERSION AND TREATMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THIRD, A COMMUNITY THAT IS POOR IN RESOURCES AND JOBS. A COMMUNITY WHERE YOUTH SCORE LOW ON TESTS, AND COME FROM FAMILIES WITH VERY LITTLE EDUCATION. A COMMUNITY THAT THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE MORE AFFLUENT COMMUNITIES SETTLE IN. THE CONSEQUENCES INCLUDE YOUTH WHO HAVE A VERY LOW PERCEPTION OF HARM IN REGARDS TO BOTH ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA. MORE THAN HALF OF THE YOUTH WHO REPORT THAT USING ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA ISN’T SOMETHING THAT THEIR FRIENDS OR PARENTS WOULD BE UPSET ABOUT. AN INCREASE OF YOUTH ACCESSIBILITY TO ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES. THE RESULT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY COALITION THAT HAS DECIDED TO STAND-UP AND MAKE THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTHY. WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE DFC GRANT, THE STURGIS PAL COALITION WILL ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING: GOAL 1: INCREASE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION RELATED TO COMMUNITY PREVENTION WHILE STRENGTHENING PREVENTION CAPACITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH THE SPF PROCESS. OBJECTIVE 1.1: STURGIS PAL COALITION MEMBERSHIP WILL INCREASE BY 5%, AS MEASURED BY SIGNED CIA’S. OBJECTIVE 1.2: STURGIS PAL WILL INCREASE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF THE COALITION. STRATEGY 1: INCREASE FUNDING SOURCES AND STAFF EXPERTISE IN GRANT WRITING AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION. GOAL 2: PREVENT THE ONSET OF SUBSTANCE USE BY YOUTH AND REDUCE THE PROGRESSION OF SUBSTANCE USE AND RELATED PROBLEMS. OBJECTIVE 2.1 THE NUMBER OF 10-12TH GRADERS REPORTING 30-DAY USE OF ALCOHOL WILL DECREASE BY 5%, AS MEASURED BY THE MEADE COUNTY SCHOOL SURVEY. OBJECTIVE 2.2: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF 10-12TH GRADERS REPORTING A LOW PERCEPTION OF PEER DISAPPROVAL RELATED TO MARIJUANA WILL INCREASE BY 5%, AS MEASURED BY THE MEADE COUNTY SCHOOL SURVEY. OBJECTIVE 2.3: THE COALITION WILL INCREASE YOUTH’S PERCEPTION OF PARENTAL DISAPPROVAL OF ALCOHOL USE AMONG YOUTH (AGES 12-18) BY 10% AS MEASURED BY THE MEADE COUNTY SCHOOL SURVEY. OBJECTIVE 2.4 THE HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GRADES 9-12 IN MEADE COUNTY SELF-REPORTING A LOW PERCEPTION OF HARM IN REGARDS TO MARIJUANA WILL INCREASE BY 5% AS MEASURED BY THE MEADE COUNTY SCHOOL SURVEY.

WALLINGFORD'S YOUTH PRESCRIPTION DRUG, OPIOID, AND METHAMPHETAMINE MISUSE PREVENTION INITIATIVE - THE COALITION FOR A BETTER WALLINGFORD (CBWLFD) SEEKS FUNDING THROUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE ADDICTION AND RECOVERY ACT (CARA) LOCAL DRUG CRISES PROGRAM TO ADDRESS YOUTH PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE, OPIOID-RELATED HARM, METHAMPHETAMINE EXPOSURE, COUNTERFEIT SUBSTANCES, AND YOUTH ACCESS TO SUBSTANCES IN WALLINGFORD, CONNECTICUT. ALTHOUGH YOUTH MISUSE RATES REMAIN RELATIVELY LOW, LOCAL DATA DEMONSTRATE INCREASING OVERDOSE ACTIVITY, YOUTH ACCESS AND EXPOSURE TO SUBSTANCES WITHIN SCHOOL SETTINGS, DECLINING PARTICIPATION IN MEDICATION DISPOSAL EFFORTS, AND GROWING CONCERNS REGARDING COUNTERFEIT SUBSTANCES AND METHAMPHETAMINE-CONTAMINATED PILLS. LOCAL ASSESSMENT FINDINGS ALSO IDENTIFIED GAPS IN COMMUNITY DATA RELATED TO PERCEPTIONS OF HARM, MEDICATION SHARING BEHAVIORS, YOUTH ACCESS TO PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS, AND COMMUNITY NORMS SURROUNDING SUBSTANCE USE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO MAINTAIN LOW RATES OF YOUTH PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE AND METHAMPHETAMINE USE WHILE REDUCING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH ACCESS TO SUBSTANCES, INCREASING AWARENESS OF COUNTERFEIT SUBSTANCES AND OVERDOSE RISKS, STRENGTHENING PROTECTIVE FACTORS, AND CHANGING COMMUNITY NORMS REGARDING THE ACCEPTABILITY OF YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE. THE PROJECT WILL BUILD UPON THE COALITION’S EXISTING DRUG FREE COMMUNITIES INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILIZE THE STRATEGIC PREVENTION FRAMEWORK AND SEVEN STRATEGIES FOR COMMUNITY LEVEL CHANGE TO IMPLEMENT EVIDENCE-INFORMED PREVENTION ACTIVITIES THAT ADDRESS IDENTIFIED LOCAL CONDITIONS. PROJECT STRATEGIES WILL INCLUDE YOUTH EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE, COUNTERFEIT SUBSTANCES, OVERDOSE PREVENTION, REFUSAL SKILLS, RESILIENCY, AND HEALTHY DECISION-MAKING; PEER-TO-PEER PREVENTION EDUCATION; YOUTH-LED SOCIAL NORMS CAMPAIGNS; SCHOOL-BASED PREVENTION ACTIVITIES; YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT THROUGH STUDENTS AGAINST DESTRUCTIVE DECISIONS AND YOUTH COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES; ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION INITIATIVES; MEDICATION SAFETY EDUCATION; MEDICATION LOCK BOX DISTRIBUTION; MEDICATION DISPOSAL CAMPAIGNS; PROMOTION OF PERMANENT MEDICATION DISPOSAL LOCATIONS AND NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK DAY EVENTS; PARENT AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION; AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF LOCAL RISK FACTORS, PROTECTIVE FACTORS, PERCEPTIONS OF HARM, MEDICATION SHARING BEHAVIORS, AND YOUTH ACCESS TO SUBSTANCES. THE COALITION WILL ENGAGE YOUTH, PARENTS, SCHOOLS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE REDUCED YOUTH PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE, REDUCED EXPOSURE TO COUNTERFEIT SUBSTANCES AND METHAMPHETAMINE-RELATED DRUG THREATS, REDUCED OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH TO BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR GIVEN ILLEGAL DRUGS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY, INCREASED SAFE MEDICATION STORAGE AND DISPOSAL PRACTICES, REDUCED AVAILABILITY OF UNUSED PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS WITHIN HOMES, INCREASED PERCEPTIONS OF HARM ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE USE, REDUCED FAVORABLE ATTITUDES TOWARD YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE, AND STRENGTHENED SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS, POSITIVE PEER NORMS, AND YOUTH PROTECTIVE FACTORS. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN LOCAL PREVENTION INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH ENHANCED COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT EFFORTS, IMPROVED DATA COLLECTION, AND INCREASED MULTISECTOR COLLABORATION. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, THE COALITION AIMS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY-LEVEL CHANGE THAT REDUCES RISK FACTORS, STRENGTHENS PROTECTIVE FACTORS, DECREASES YOUTH ACCESS TO SUBSTANCES, AND PREVENTS FUTURE OPIOID, PRESCRIPTION DRUG, AND METHAMPHETAMINE-RELATED HARMS AMONG WALLINGFORD YOUTH.
