East Hampton Prevention Partnership Drug Free Communities Project - East Hampton Prevention Partnership Project Abstract Summary East Hampton Prevention Partnership’s (EHPP) community is the geographic boundaries of the Town of East Hampton, CT. The Town of East Hampton is a town in eastern Connecticut once famous for its numerous bellmakers that made the bells for the Salvation Army, the New York Stock Exchange, boxing, etc. Now known as “Belltown”, East Hampton is home to Lake Pocotopaug, a 511-acre private access lake that mostly has year-round homes. East Hampton has also had its problems with drugs, once known as the major source of methamphetamine in CT. More recently, in December of 2022, Police made an arrest at a local residence that resulted in the confiscation of 70 bags of fentanyl packaged for sale, a container found to hold 384.14 grams of fentanyl and 524 assorted pills, of which 141 were identified as pressed fentanyl pills East Hampton has a population of 12,834 residents. The pre-K -12 student population of 1,676 has a four-year graduation rate of 96%. The city’s racial and ethnic make-up is 86% white, 7%, Hispanic/Latino, 3% Asian, <1% Black, and 3% other. The median age of the population is 42 and the median household income is $118,775. Sixteen percent of the population have earned an advanced degree, 20% have earned a bachelor’s degree and 26% have earned a high school diploma. (CT Data Collaborative 2024). Our 2025 youth survey data demonstrates that alcohol and marijuana are our priority substances in a year 6 DFC grant. While our latest 2025 youth survey shows a substantial reduction in current youth alcohol use, grade level increases continue to be a serious problem. The percentage of 8th graders who report current alcohol use more than doubles in 12th graders. We see similar issues with youth marijuana use data. Youth marijuana use is concerning given the normalization of marijuana in CT and across the US. Marijuana use increases five-fold between 8th and 9th graders. Our action plan and logic models will address these risk factors and local conditions while also building protective factors in East Hampton. • Increase the percentage of East Hampton 6-12 graders who report peer disapproval of alcohol. • Increase the percentage of East Hampton 6-12 graders who report that access to alcohol is sort of hard/very hard to obtain. • Increase the percentage of East Hampton 6-12 graders who report their families have clear rules against marijuana use. • Increase the percentage of East Hampton 6-12 graders who report using marijuana has a moderate or a great risk. EHPP staff and coalition members attend training and conferences to understand and put into practice the latest development in effective prevention practice. We strive to provide the best service to our town by decreasing the consumption and consequences of youth substance misuse.
