Brief Overview of Statewide Prevention Plan
The Department of Human Services Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse proposes to concentrate its efforts on four specific outcomes:
1. To contain the percentage of our youth who have recently used alcohol at zero-growth per year through the year 2004.
2. To reduce the percentage of our youth who have ever tried marijuana by 1% per year through the year 2004.
3. To show no increase in the percentage of our youth who have recently used methamphetamines, through the year 2004.
4. To reduce the percentage of our youth who have recently used inhalants by 1% through the year 2004.
5. To reduce the percentage of our youth who were in a physical fight during the year by 1% per year through the year 2004.
To accomplish these outcomes, the Division proposes to prioritize funding in three areas:
1. Community Mobilization Projects expansion with parallel expansion of Community Prevention Networkers (CPN's).
2. Primary and Intensive Diversion Prevention Programming through maintenance and enhancement of these programs within the juvenile detention facilities and in each of the eight judicial circuits in the state.
3. Maintenance of 4 Prevention Resource Centers (PRC's) to provide substance abuse training opportunities, develop prevention activities, and disseminate information statewide through their respective resource libraries.
