Brief Overview of Statewide Prevention Plan
By 2014, reduce alcohol and other drug use among 12-17 year old youth through implementation of evidence based substance abuse prevention approaches.
This will be accomplished through,
- Identifying the extent and statewide burden of substance abuse problems among Wisconsin citizens, including 12-17 year old youth and their families.
- Utilizing variables from statewide substance abuse indicator data and at least one or more variables from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, establish outcomes that focus on age of first use of alcohol and/or tobacco, illicit drug use and reducing tobacco use and binge drinking among the 12-17 year old population.
- Developing a plan and infrastructure for coordinating the data and information systems necessary for tracking and documenting the State's progress in meeting the targets identified.
- Developing and implementing a sound strategy to identify, coordinate, leverage, and/or redirect, as appropriate and legally permissible, all substance abuse prevention resources (funding streams and programs) within the State that are directed at communities, families, and youth (including youth 12-17 years of age, schools and workplaces).
- Developing a plan to fill gaps in needed prevention efforts in order to successfully meet targeted substance abuse prevention outcomes.
- Assessing the current prevention system and develop strategies that strengthen, improve and sustain evidence-based approaches to statewide prevention practices.
