View Award Description

Reno County Communities That Care Association reduced youth access of opioid and prescription drug use and abuse. - Reno County Communities That Care have specifically designed the action plan with tools, incentives and approaches that will ensure key stakeholders will promote and advance the plan during and beyond the grant period. The plan was very carefully designed to employ environmental strategies that are sustainable long-term and to promote lasting stakeholder commitment. Prescribers, pharmacists and police departments are key stakeholders. We are entering into a partnership with the Hutchinson Clinic the largest medical facility in the county. As a sign of the Clinics commitment, they are in the process of purchasing the MedSafe and MedSafe return receptacles. We will provide the DeTerra bags through this grant to the Hutchinson Clinic. To further that partnership the Clinic has made a commitment that at least 30 prescribers will receive SAMSHA approved C.E.’s or C.M.E.’s regarding opioid prescribing practices, abuse and diversion. This ensures the Clinic will promote and advance the plan beyond the grant period. The MedSafe locations will be permanent and the Clinic and the South Hutchinson Police Department have agreed to continue to provide the return receptacles beyond the grant period. Once prescribers are educated, prescription rates should go down (as well as the strength and length of prescriptions), more medications will be taken-back and more drugs will be deactivated; each directly and continually reducing youth access and use. The Clinic and the SHPD have already demonstrated their commitment as a stakeholder by applying and being approved by the DEA to be a medication collector. Both agencies have a representative serving on the Coalition and have helped develop the action plans. A prescriber, pharmacist and SHPD officer will also be invited to serve (and several have already agreed to serve) on the coalition ensuring further stakeholder commitment to the action plan. Also, CTC Youth have already been integrated and will continue to be a key part of implementing the action plan. The CTC Youth took part in the youth panel, helped develop the action plan, serve on the coalition workgroups that developed the action plans, youth will help implement the action plans and youth have key roles in carrying out the action plans. Specifically the CTC Youth Leadership workgroup will be giving presentations to each of the 6th grade classrooms, grade schools, middle and high schools regarding opioid use prevention. The age group is vital and according to a Health & Human Services Report, “Until recently, there had been little research, specifically examining the impact of prevention programs on prescription drug abuse. However, a review of three recent randomized controlled trials, funded by NIH, suggests that brief universal prevention interventions conducted during middle school led to reductions in prescription drug misuse during adolescence and young adulthood.” The CTC Youth Leadership workgroup has annually made presentations to 6th graders and will now focus those efforts on universal prevention for grade, middle and high schools. The CTC Youth Leadership has a history of being very active and involved in implementing action plans and taking part in them; the Youth Leadership was key in reaching our DFC goals and objectives. The CTC Youth Leadership workgroup is also tasked with developing activities, awareness events and promotions around National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, National Drug Facts Week, and International Overdose Awareness Day. Youth were involved from understanding the opioid problem to developing every step of the action plan; youth are the center and the focus.
