Washakie County Drug Free Communities Project - Washakie Prevention Coalition (WPC) requests a FY 2023 Drug-Free Communities Support Program grant in the amount of $125,000 in order to strengthen community collaboration for the prevention and reduction of youth substance use in Washakie County. This project will annually serve youth and community members through Washakie County’s population of 7,768, focusing in particular on school-age youth grades K-12. Washakie County’s youth report being 70.5% white, 26.6% Hispanic, 0.2% Black, 0.5% American Indian/Alaska Native, 0.2% Asian, 2.1% two or more races. A frontier county with a strong sense of community, Washakie County has also experienced issues regarding youth substance use and related behaviors. As reported by the 2022 Prevention Needs Assessment (PNA), conducted every two years by the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center, Washakie County’s highest prevalence rates are around alcohol, nicotine and marijuana, with alcohol topping the list as the most significant area for our students. Twenty percent of our high schoolers report having used alcohol in the past 30 days, and 12% report binge drinking in the past two weeks. Nicotine use is also significant, with our youth abusing nicotine in many products, most significantly through vaping (25% at the high school level) but also cigarettes (3%); and smokeless tobacco (7%). And third, Washakie youth use marijuana. Ten percent of high schoolers report using marijuana within the past 30 days, and these issues are increasingly difficult to detect due to how easy it is to hide via vaping devices. Collaborating with people from all over Washakie County, WPC has worked to understand our community’s unique needs and then develop strategies that work for our youth. Through assessment, WPC has identified factors that contribute to youth alcohol, nicotine and marijuana use in Washakie County, including favorable youth and cultural attitudes toward use, high availability of substances, laws and policies that are perceived to favor use, and economic conditions that cause barriers to healthy choices. To address these factors, WPC has developed a 12-month action plan that utilizes several strategies for community-level change. We will provide information regarding Washakie County’s youth substance use issues; enhance the skills of the coalition, youth, parents and community to effectively address these issues in the county; provide support and opportunities for our youth to engage in healthy activities; develop healthy peer and mentoring relationships and strengthen youths’ abilities to make positive life choices; reduce youth access to alcohol through responsible alcohol server training and a “social host” campaign; and collaborate with schools on alcohol, nicotine and marijuana use policies. Our objectives are to increase the coalition’s knowledge and effectiveness, increase community awareness of our youth alcohol, nicotine and marijuana issues, decrease favorable attitudes toward youth substance use, increase the number of youth involved in healthy activities, increase youth capacity to help their peers and younger youth in being substance free, and decrease youth access to alcohol in the home and community. Our priority is to ensure our efforts are data-driven, evidence-based and focused on population-level change. Working together, these objectives and strategies will help the coalition increase and strengthen community collaboration across Washakie County and reduce alcohol, nicotine and marijuana use among our youth.
