The community needs assessment of Dodge, Fillmore, and Olmsted Counties found the following: - Over 200 community members were polled using interviews about alcohol and drug problems - The majority felt there were problems with alcohol and drugs in their communities that had affected them - Scores on different dimensions like community knowledge and resources indicated the communities were in the "Preparation" stage of readiness to address issues - This means that while most people were aware of local efforts, leadership and attitudes supported doing more, and some resources had been identified to take further action
