The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians’ (LTBB) Significant Prevention Resulting in New Generations (SPRING) Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drug project (SPF-Rx) will focus on two target populations in the project catchment area of Emmet-Charlevoix-Cheboygan counties: LTBB Citizens and non-LTBB Native American youth between the ages of 12 and 17 years old and LTBB community members ages 18 years old and older living in the LTBB community. We anticipate an average of 200 youth to be served annually, with approximately 1,000 youth being served throughout the five-year project. We anticipate over 1,500 adults per year to be served via community-based education and awareness, with approximately 10,000 reached over the five-year project. Goal 1: Promote emotional health and wellness in the LTBB community through raised awareness about the dangers of prescription drug misuse and abuse. Objectives: During the 60-month project, LTBB will … 1) Conduct 5 needs assessments to evaluate program outreach and prescription drug misuse and abuse data, with 70% of LTBB youth and 50% of LTBB adults in the project catchment area participating in the LTBB Youth and Adult Surveys annually. 2) Implement youth-focused primary and secondary prevention-based outreach and education to reduce yearly 30-day use of prescription drugs without a prescription to less than 1% and increase perception of risk to 90%, as measured by the annual LTBB Youth Survey. 3) Implement LTBB adult-focused primary and secondary prevention-based outreach and education to reduce average yearly 30-day use of prescription drugs without a prescription to 2% and increase prescription security and disposal efforts by 5% each, as measured by the annual LTBB Adult Survey. 4) Increase LTBB Health Park infrastructure to address prescription drug misuse through development and implementation of comprehensive Health Park-wide prescription drug policy and procedures, semi-annual professional development for LTBB Health Professionals, and increased use of PDMP data.
