Capacity Training Objectives

• Explain capacity as it relates to the consequence
  logic model.
• Explain what a prevention system addressing
  Intervening Variables and substance use
  associated with identified consequence looks
  like.
• Describe community readiness.
• Identify stake holders necessary to implement
  environmental strategies.
• Map existing system and identify who needs to be
  included.

9
Assessment Review

• Directions
• In your group, unscramble the logic model and put
  it in its correct order using the consequence
  logic.
• Find the correct definition that matches up with
  each column.
• Put examples under the correct column.

10
Assessment Check In
In your communities, answer the following
questions

• What good things have you learned about your
  community as a result of your assessment efforts?
  
• What has been challenging?

11
Capacity

• Resources Assessment
• 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.

12
Capacity

• Other considerations
• Community Readiness
• Cultural Competence
• Leadership
• All are strengthened by education and training

13
Capacity Benchmarks

• Partnerships
• Continuation and creation of new ones
• MOAs (memorandums of agreement)
• Directory
• Education and training sessions
• Meetings and workshops with key stakeholders
• Development of a resource assessment document

14
Prevention as a System

• System
• Any organized assembly of resources and
  procedures united and regulated by interaction or
  interdependence to accomplish a set of specific
  functions.
• A collection of personnel, equipment, and
  methods organized to accomplish a set of specific
  functions.

15
Prevention as a System

• What would a comprehensive, united, prevention
  system look like using the consequence logic
  model?
• Answer One that addresses each Intervening
  Variable.
• Each community will build capacity around
  Intervening Variables, specifically contributing
  factors.

16
Capacity and the SPF

• Our Logic Model is data driven
• Identification of consequence
• Use patterns that are linked to the consequence
• Surveys, questionnaires, focus groups of
  Intervening Variables to identify contributing
  factors.

Mapping A Community Prevention System

• Directions
• Create a logic model using the data you collected
  during the assessment phase.
• Record the consequence you selected.
• Record the substance use patterns that are linked
  to that consequence.
• Record your Intervening Variables and their
  contributing factors.

20
Where is your system now?

• Directions
• For each contributing factor for your
  Intervening Variables, identify resources
  currently actively involved (pg.12-16).
• Use the handouts on pgs. 17-20 to list gaps.
• This will be used for the following reasons
• Inventory of current stakeholders
• Identifying gaps

• Identifying gaps

23
Where is your system now?

• How will this activity be beneficial in your
  prevention efforts?
• How can you use this information?
• Questions or concerns?

24
Community Readiness

• The capacity of a community to implement
  programs, policies and other changes that are
  designed to reduce the likelihood of substance
  use.

25
Community Readiness

• Why is it important to know a communitys
  readiness level?
• Helps identify where capacity needs improvement.
• Gauges community attitudes
• Serves as a catalyst for change

26
Community Readiness

• Is determined by
• Identifying the issue
• Substance abuse related consequence
• Define the community
• Conduct interviews
• Develop strategies based on level of readiness
  and conduct workshops or trainings to increase
  readiness.

27
Community Readiness

• Review
• 9 Stages of Community Readiness
• Strategies to Increase Readiness

28
Community Readiness

• Directions
• Review the stage of readiness assigned to your
  group.
• Make up a realistic scenario that describes that
  stage (use examples of events, peoples attitudes
  to those events etc..)
• Review strategies to improve the stage you were
  given.
• Using suggested strategies, develop strategies
  you would use to improve the communitys level of
  readiness.

29
Community Readiness

• County Level Data
• Review the county level readiness survey
  results.

30
Community Readiness

• Directions
• Answer
• What cultural considerations do we need to take
  into account when assessing community readiness?
• Record on Flip Chart
• Report to larger group

31
Addressing Gaps

• Directions
• Use pgs. 17-20 as a guide for identified gaps.
• List strategies to fill those gaps.
• Networking
• Win-Win Selling Points
• Education sessions
• Strategies will be shared with other communities.
