View Award Description

Pender Substance Use Prevention Partnership - This proposal plans to serve Pender County in Southeastern North Carolina with a population of 65,737 residents. The focus of the proposal is to reduce youth substance use for alcohol, nicotine, and prescription medications through strategies that will reduce easy youth access to those products and increase perceptions of risk for youth 12-20 years old. Strategies to reduce youth access include secure storage and disposal of alcohol, nicotine, and prescription medications as well environmental scans to help coalition members understand products available in the community and sources of social access such as events and festivals. Year one will focus on needs assessment work to understand products of risk and sources of risk outside of the home and promotion of secure home storage solutions. Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA) will be utilized to assist with collecting information about local conditions that contribute to youth substance use. Dover Youth2Youth will be utilized as a strategy to increase youth perception of risk by teaming with the Youth Advisory Council who are learning to be peer educators about teen health. This youth led empowerment model will build skills and capacity in the community. Process Outcomes: • Collect 100 One-on-One Surveys about Attitudes and Perceptions on Underaged Drinking in Pender • Conduct at least 4 days of Environmental Scans of Community Events and Businesses to learn more about available products, promotions of products, and practices around access • Share available data and outcomes with coalition members monthly • Determine signage needs based on scans on CMCA to improve community commitment to reducing youth access to alcohol • Collect 200 Community Surveys about Secure Storage and Disposal of Alcohol and Prescription Medications • Provide 200 home storage devices such as medication lockboxes or cabinet locks to secure alcohol and medication • Train 12-15 YAC Youth in Dover Youth2Youth Tool Kit on developing communication messages and conducting presentations • Support YAC events and education campaigns at school practicing Hart’s Ladder youth engagement and Dover Youth2Youth Tool Kit • Provide Pender County School Facilitator Training on Catch My Breath Vaping Prevention Curriculum • Build support for and implement collection of 300 DFC 4 Core Measures Surveys Expected Impacts: • Reduce youth alcohol use 2% from 27.7% to 25.7% by 2029 • Increase secure storage and disposal of medication 5% from 24% to 29% by 2029 • Reduce youth nicotine use by 2% from 21.8% to 19.8% by 2029
