Responsible Data for Children Training_PublicSlides_110922.pdfStefaan Verhulst
The Responsible Data for Children (RD4C) initiative—a collaboration between The GovLab and UNICEF to promote the more responsible handling of data for and about children—has spent much of 2022 developing ways to socialize and operationalize the principles that put the best interests of children and a child rights approach at the center of our data activities.. From publishing new case studies that provide detail on what a responsible data approach looks like in action to supporting UNICEF and UNHCR country offices in helping them implement a responsible data for children approach to their operations to expanding its offerings in different languages, we’ve sought to help organizations understand what responsible data for children means and how they can realize it in their day-to-day operations.
Today, RD4C is continuing this work with self-guided training. Based on the tutorials offered to UNICEF staff in early 2022, these slides are a resource for organizations seeking to understand ways to operationalize the RD4C principles and implement the RD4C tools.
This document summarizes research on the impacts of legalizing marijuana, including increases in public health and public safety issues. It finds that marijuana potency has increased significantly in recent decades to meet demand. Legalization is associated with higher youth, young adult, and overall marijuana use rates compared to national averages. States with legal marijuana also see greater increases in traffic collisions than neighboring states without legal marijuana. The document cautions that policy and laws are being created without long-term research on the effects of high-potency marijuana products.
This document from the Texas Police Chiefs Association discusses the myths and facts around the impacts of legalizing marijuana. It addresses impacts on crime, impaired driving, tax revenue, youth use, and health issues. Some key facts presented include that crime and traffic deaths increased in states that legalized marijuana, tax revenue was lower than predicted, and youth access and use increased. Health risks discussed include links to mental illness and increased risk of opioid use. The document concludes by providing observations for states that have legalized marijuana, noting increased youth use and crime from dispensaries in Colorado and Washington.

This document provides an overview of the Focus on Prevention guide, which is intended to help communities plan and implement strategies to prevent substance use. The guide uses SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework as a model and contains several sections with tools to support prevention event planning, including 11 fact sheets aligned with the SPF steps, an event timeline, sample media materials, and information on National Prevention Week. The overall goal is to offer easy-to-use resources so that any community can successfully address substance misuse issues.
The document discusses trends in methamphetamine use and related harms across the United States based on data from national surveys and treatment centers. It finds that:
1) Methamphetamine use and overdose deaths more than doubled from 2010-2014, though rates remain lower than other drugs.
2) Treatment admissions for methamphetamine surpassed cocaine admissions from 2013-2015 and increased 17% from 2011-2015.
3) Over 70% of law enforcement agencies in the Pacific and West Central regions reported methamphetamine as the greatest drug threat in their areas.
This interim report from the Texas House Select Committee on Opioids and Substance Abuse summarizes the committee's work and findings on the opioid and substance abuse crisis in Texas. The report outlines statistics on overdose deaths and substance use disorders in Texas. It also describes programs and services provided by various state agencies and organizations to address prevention, treatment, and recovery. The report concludes with challenges identified and recommendations for the upcoming legislative session.
The epidemiology workgroup aims to assess drug abuse patterns, trends, and emerging problems in order to reduce substance abuse and related consequences in communities. The group is charged with four core tasks: identifying drug abuse patterns and changes over time, detecting emerging substances, and communicating findings. The workgroup meets to discuss available data repositories and indicators that can help assess substance abuse issues.
This document provides a four-step model for strengthening and revitalizing state or tribal epidemiological workgroups: 1) take stock of available resources and goals for the group; 2) identify and interview potential members to determine if they have needed skills; 3) gauge existing members' interests to maintain engagement; 4) provide meaningful responsibilities and opportunities to sustain membership over time like involving members in decision making and product development. The goal is to create active, well-functioning groups that can engage in data-guided prevention planning.
This document lists various data resources that were explored related to substance use and related issues in Texas and Bexar County. It includes data from the CDC, Texas state surveillance systems, Bexar County agencies, community crime maps, and local court administrative data. It also lists informal stakeholder input sources. The resources covered a wide range of topics including drug overdose mortality, prescription opioid use and exposures, smoking, substance use among youth, impaired driving, narcotic seizures, HIV and STDs, family violence, drug courts, foster care cases involving substance use, and local advocacy group perspectives.
The Epidemiology Workgroup meeting agenda included discussions around:
1) Creating a data repository to house alcohol, drug, tobacco, depression, and other public health indicators for use by the workgroup and community.
2) Preparing an interim report on their work for the upcoming 86th Texas Legislature.
3) Discussing policy issues like powdered alcohol, alcohol taxes, raising the tobacco age, and marijuana legalization to address related public health and safety concerns.
Vital event data collected by the Texas Department of State Health Services includes birth and death certificate information. Birth and death certificates are collected annually through electronic registration by hospitals, funeral homes, and other entities. The data include demographic and geographic variables. Statistically frozen vital event records are available for analysis and are managed using statistical software. Common analyses of the data include examining birth outcomes, mortality rates, and causes of death by demographic and geographic groups. Access and use of the vital event data are governed by confidentiality rules and data use agreements.
This document presents data from the 2018 Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use comparing substance use indicators across the state of Texas, Health and Human Services Region 7&8, and Region 8. It includes lifetime and past-month usage rates of tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription drugs, inhalants, and other substances among youth as well as perceptions and behaviors related to substance use.
This document summarizes data from the 2018 Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use for regions 7 and 8. It finds that alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use have increased among secondary students. Lifetime, past month, and school year use of these substances rose across multiple grades. E-cigarette use in particular saw large increases, especially among female students. Perceptions of harm decreased for some substances while perceived friend use and access increased.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice operates the state's prison system, parole system, and oversees probation. It has over 36,000 employees managing over 145,000 incarcerated individuals, 84,000 parolees, and 232,000 people on probation. The agency uses risk and needs assessments to develop individualized treatment plans and has over 10,000 substance abuse treatment beds in prisons, including therapeutic communities and pre-release programs. Parole also has specialized caseloads and intermediate sanction facilities for substance abuse treatment. Probation departments provide residential and outpatient counseling through local programs.
This regional needs assessment summarizes data on substance use and related factors for Region 8 in Texas. Key findings include that over one-third of the population speaks a language other than English at home, poverty and unemployment rates are higher than national averages in many counties, and high school dropout rates exceed state rates in nearly a third of the region. Substance use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and prescription drugs is analyzed alongside consequences like crimes, family violence, and child abuse rates which in many cases exceed state levels. Gaps in services, data and partnerships to address substance misuse in the region are also discussed.
The document discusses the opioid epidemic's effect on Texas hospitals. It notes that in 2017 nearly 3,000 Texans died from drug overdoses, more than the population of many Texas cities and towns. The financial cost to Texas is $20 billion annually. Hospitals' costs for treating overdose patients in intensive care rose 60% from 2009 to 2015. The Texas Hospital Association developed voluntary opioid prescribing guidelines for emergency departments to curb overprescribing and addiction as emergency room visits and inpatient stays for opioid issues have increased substantially. The guidelines recommend limiting replacement prescriptions, prescribing opioids cautiously, and consulting prescription monitoring programs.
Methamphetamine is the top drug threat in Texas according to the DEA, and indicators show it is a larger problem than heroin. Cocaine deaths are rising while other indicators are decreasing, and availability remains high. Prescription opioids, benzodiazepines, and muscle relaxants continue to be problematic, requiring a harm reduction campaign. Cannabis indicators are steady while synthetic cannabinoids and cathinones show changing user demographics and statistically significant trends over time. Polydrug use is common, necessitating overdose prevention efforts focused on multiple drugs.
The epidemiology workgroup meets regularly to assess drug abuse patterns, trends, and emerging problems in order to inform public health responses. The group aims to eliminate or reduce substance abuse and related consequences in local communities. Their core tasks include identifying drug abuse patterns, changes over time, emerging substances, and communicating findings. The document provides data on drug poisoning mortality rates, opioid prescription rates, tobacco and e-cigarette use among youth, impaired driving incidents, narcotics seizures and violations, HIV and STD rates, family violence incidents, and substance abuse programs in the community.
The Regional Needs Assessment (RNA) is a document created by the Prevention Resource Center (PRC) in Region 8 along with Evaluators from PRCs across the State of Texas and supported by San Antonio Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SACADA) and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The PRC Region 8 serves 28 counties in Upper South Texas.
This document provides information about the SACADA Youth Prevention Programs. It lists various programs aimed at different age groups from 8-18 years old, as well as alternative and adult family programs. It also lists resources available such as brochures, posters, and fact sheets. The purpose of the Region 8 Prevention Resource Center is to enhance substance abuse prevention services across 28 counties in South Central Texas. The regional needs assessment is developed using state, regional and local data to provide information about trends in alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, tobacco and other drug use. It can be used to identify patterns, gaps in data/resources, differences across communities, and to support policy and grant writing activities.
This document summarizes a community stakeholder meeting held in Region 8 on July 9, 2015. It includes an agenda with sections on housekeeping, welcome messages, introductions of the PRC Region 8 team members, a presentation on using an audience response system, and the results of several polls questions answered by attendees about substance abuse issues in their community. The purpose of the meeting was to gather input from local stakeholders on key concerns around alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and mental health in the region.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

What is the Strategic Prevention Framework?
• The five steps of the SPF guide prevention
professionals in planning, implementing, and
evaluating effective evidence-based prevention
efforts that reflect cultural competence and show
sustainability.
• The effectiveness of this process begins with a clear
understanding of community needs and involves
community members in all stages of the planning
process.
http://www.samhsa.gov/spf
23. Step 1: Assessment
• Prevention professionals gather and assess data from a variety
of sources to ensure that substance misuse prevention efforts
are appropriate and targeted to the needs of communities.
• Data help to inform the identification and prioritization of
substance misuse problems, clarify those problems’ impact on
communities and vulnerable populations, and assess the
readiness and resources needed to protect against those
problems and their consequences.
www.PRCRegion8.org
http://www.samhsa.gov/capt/applying-strategic-prevention-framework/step1-assess-needs
24. Step 2: Capacity
• Focuses on identifying resources and readiness for
addressing substance misuse in communities.
• States and communities must have the capacity—
that is, the resources and readiness—to support
their chosen prevention programs and interventions.
Programs that are well-supported are more likely to
succeed.
www.PRCRegion8.org
http://www.samhsa.gov/capt/applying-strategic-prevention-framework/step2-build-capacity
25. Step 3: Planning
• Shows how to plan effectively by prioritizing risk and
protective factors and building logic models.
• Planning increases the effectiveness of prevention efforts by
ensuring that prevention professionals and their stakeholders
work toward the same goals.
• Three important parts of the planning phase are:
– Prioritizing risk and protective factors identified in Step 1: Assess
Needs of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF)
– Building a logic model for your program
– Selecting effective interventions
www.PRCRegion8.org
http://www.samhsa.gov/capt/applying-strategic-prevention-framework/step3-plan
26. Step 4: Implementation
• Prevention professionals develop action plans to implement
their chosen prevention intervention.
• An action plan is a written document that lays out exactly how
you will implement your selected evidence-based
intervention, which may be a program, policy, or strategy.
The action plan describes:
– What you expect to accomplish?
– Specific steps you will take to reach goals?
– Who will be responsible for doing what?
www.PRCRegion8.org
27. Step 5: Evaluation
• Evaluation quantifies the challenges and
successes of implementing a prevention program.
• The evaluation step of the Strategic Prevention
Framework (SPF) is not just about collecting
information, but using that information to
improve the effectiveness of a prevention
program. After evaluation, planners may decide
whether or not to continue the program

Editor's Notes
Introduce self, introduce team.. My name is Gyna Juarez, program director. Thank you for being here today, we have a full house so instead of the conventional introduction, please turn to your neighbor, or someone you didn’t come with and introduce yourself, tell them what brought you here today.
Now that we are all acquianted and hopefully made some new contacts, let me welcome you to SACADA.
Introduce team, Teresa to be introduced last.. to talk about PRC.
The San Antonio Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SACADA) provides education, youth prevention programs, information resources, and services aimed at preventing alcohol and drug abuse. SACADA integrates multiple prevention strategies that target children through evidence-based curricula. Of those we serve, 80% are from economically disadvantaged homes and are at risk for substance abuse, as well as other problems like school dropout and poor mental health.
Project Heart targets children ages 8-13 and their parents/teachers for education about self-worth, positive and nurturing internal experiences, and empowerment.
Middle School Youth Programs target 6th-8th grade students to work on self-esteem, peer pressure, healthy choices, and decision making through lessons and games.
The Adolescent and Teen Program is an intensive outreach and intervention program to help 14-18-year-olds resist substance abuse, incorporating motivational activities, games, role-playing, and social skills training.
HYPE Productions is a “prevention performing arts” group of adolescent ambassadors for a drug-free lifestyle. Teens use music and dance to communicate prevention methods to their peers.
SACADA Prevention Specialists are also available to present general tobacco, alcohol, and other drug awareness presentations to parents or youths. We provide fun, interactive, tobacco- and drug-free alternative activities.
SACADA provides drug and alcohol Assessments (Evaluations) and Referrals to services as needed. SACADA also provides court ordered services for those referred to our agency.
Project ADELANTE provides intensive case management to young men ages 18-50 who have been formally incarcerated. The goal is to prevent future offenses and help them live successful lives in our community.
The WORC Project (Web Oriented Recovery Care) encompasses all aspects of recovery services. An individual with a drug or alcohol problem can log onto the www.recoverytexas.org and chat privately with a recovery coach.
The SACADA Resource Center offers brochures, books, DVDs, posters, and other information relating to drug education and prevention.
Circles of San Antonio (COSA) is a collaborative community coalition of agencies and individuals who promote public awareness about consequences of underage drinking, drinking and driving, and other drug use and abuse.
Educational and Training Programs are provided for professionals, youth, clergy, and teachers as requested on drug and alcohol trends and prevention.
Workplace Training assists small businesses in revising or developing staff policies and programs, and training supervisors. We provide education, intervention, and referrals to families in need.
SACADA provides Court-Mandated Education classes to youth and adults whose lifestyle choices have put them at risk of addiction: Alcohol & Tobacco Awareness (MIP), DWI Education, Alcohol & Drug Awareness Education Program (ADAEP).
Connect the public health questions to the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) by explaining that:
The SPF answers the public health question, “How will we do substance abuse prevention?”
The SPF is a strategic planning process that CSAP uses to guide communities and states with developing and implementing comprehensive substance abuse prevention activities.
Ask the participants to raise their hands if they have been to a workshop or training on the SPF.
If a large percentage say yes, then consider doing a review of the SPF in the following way:
Break up participants into 7 groups. Assign each group one of the five steps, sustainability, or cultural competency. Within their group, have them discuss what they know about that step, sustainability, or cultural competence.
Provide an example from a community that has gone through all of the steps.
Integrate audience knowledge of the overall SPF into the following overview statements (lead with the audiences’ knowledge):
The Strategic Prevention Framework—or SPF—is a 5-step planning process to guide the selection, implementation, and evaluation of effective, culturally appropriate, and sustainable prevention activities. (Provide examples of each step)
In the middle of the SPF is Culture and Sustainability
Ask participants:
- How can culture impact this process?
- What do you think of when I say sustainability?
The effectiveness of this prevention planning process begins with a clear understanding of the specific substance abuse problems in a community and depends on the involvement of community members in all stages of the process.
The SPF is dynamic, deliberate, and ongoing. Also, it isn’t always a linear process; steps can be repeated or performed out of order. Each of the steps will be explained in greater detail later in the training.
Connect the public health questions to the Strategic Prevention Framework as follows:
“We need a strategic planning process in order to answer the public health questions and determine what interventions will be most effective for addressing the specific problems in a community. This training will give you a basic understanding of the SPF process and the connection between the different steps.”
Re-iterate these points about the SPF:
The SPF is not a linear process—the steps may be done out of order or repeated.
There is a connection and overlap between all of the steps.
Sustainability and cultural competence are in the center because they are integrated into each of the steps.
The SPF is an effective planning process that may be used in communities, states, jurisdictions, and tribes.
refine a vision for data use, form and launch a data team, assess the status of data use, and identify gaps between the current and desired state (vision for data use). Getting Ready also illustrates how the concepts and tools that are presented in the context of use by a data team can be used to establish and/or support population.
Supporting Data Use- Data-driven decision making has been a focus of attention in prevention for many years. Yet, many are reluctant or even resistant to calls or collaboration by their leaders to use data and make decisions based on data. In some cases, this is because people have a narrow view of data as simply the reports of standardized test results that annually arrive on their desks and in their inboxes. In other cases, it is because the call for using data is perceived as a call for dramatic changes. It establish or enhance the collaborative processes necessary to create a culture to meet the needs of today’s communities. An essential first step in creating this culture is to understand the current perceptions about using data with your focused population
Data Usefulness -Without useful data, stakeholder groups can lose faith in the value of data and become discouraged. At worst, leaders can use poor data—data that are old, that are not disaggregated, or that are presented in confusing or inaccurate ways—and draw false conclusions about needs. This can result in actions driven by wrong information or poor interpretations that can actually cause harm. It is important to put safeguards in place to ensure the usefulness of the data. Access to useful data can lead to greater levels of data use and ultimately to improved outcomes. The usefulness of data increases by: Using multiple measures to ensure relevance and the ability to triangulate from more than one data set Making sure data are well organized and presented in data displays that are easy to interpret Using accurate data that have been standardized and cleansed Making data available to stakeholder groups before the data shelf life has expired Disaggregating data for analysis across multiple factors
Data capacity is the next condition for data use. Without the capacity to access, understand, and use the available data, no amount of data (highly useable or not) will lead to meaningful data use. Data capacity includes: Organizational factors such as team structures and time to analyze data, collaboratively develop norms, and clearly define roles and responsibilities that support data use Technology that can integrate data from multiple sources Conditions for Data accessibility that allows multiple users to have access to data in formats that are easy to interpret Data literacy and assessment literacy skills so data consumers know how to analyze multiple types of data and properly interpret results can improve data capacity by ensuring there is adequate professional development on how to analyze and interpret test results, setting aside time for instructional and administrative teams to meet and discuss data, and establishing processes and procedures for accessing relevant data.
Data Culture A culture of data use can only develop if data usefulness and capacity are in place. A strong data culture results when an organization believes in continuous improvement and regularly puts that belief into practice. Communities or organizations that have a strong data culture emphasize collaboration as a keystone for success, and they empower all involved to make decisions for which they are held accountable. Elements of a strong data culture include: Commitment from all stakeholder groups to make better use of data A clearly articulated vision for data use Beliefs about the efficacy of teaching and the value of data in improving teaching and learning Accountability for results coupled with empowering all involved to make Data-driven decision making Modeling of data use by leaders Commitment to making ongoing Data-driven decision making improvements A culture of collaboration at all levels
Data Collection, Storage, and Dissemination The data team can inventory the type of data available, the format in which the data are provided, and how the data are currently used. By conducting the inventory, the data team can begin to paint a picture of the data resources that are currently available, how the data are being used, and what additional data might better support inquiry. For the available data to further the inquiry process, they must be complete, accurate, and timely. While the quality of the data is also an important issue to explore, the collection and distribution tools and processes need to be efficient and effective to ensure that quality data are available and useful.
you laid the foundation to support the work of the data team as it moves forward in establishing or strengthening a culture of inquiry and data use. You developed a vision for data use with broad input from stakeholders throughout the your focus population. The data team assessed the current state of data use, compared the findings to the vision, and identified gaps to be addressed as it moves toward the systemic use of data and the process.
In Identify Issues, the data team will begin to formally use the SPF and logic model by identifying issues to investigate. The analysis of the current state of data use conducted as part of Getting Ready will provide good information to begin identifying issues related to data use and building a culture of inquiry. In Identify Issues, the data team will identify additional issues to be investigated at different levels and will learn how to formulate questions to focus these investigations. The team will learn data use terms and concepts and will explore the types of data available to answer their focusing questions.

Developing the Capacity to Effectively Analyze Data
Review the public health approach, which answers the questions on this slide –
What? – What substance use and other behavioral problems need to be addressed?
Who? – Who will the intervention(s) focus on? Will it be everyone or a specific population group?
When? – When in the lifespan—or at what specific developmental stage—is the population group that the interventions focus on (e.g. adolescence, young adulthood).
Where? – Where should the interventions take place? Prevention takes place in multiple contexts that influence health and where risk and protective factors can be found—in families, communities, and society.
Why? – Why are these problems occurring? This refers to the risk and protective factors.
How? – How do we do effective prevention? This refers to a planning process—the Strategic Prevention Framework—that will be used to determine what prevention and wellness interventions will be most effective for a specific population group.
Identify Issues has helped the data team identify and begin the investigation of a significant priority issue in its focused group or population. The team has developed a focusing question to guide the collection and analysis of relevant data and has built a common understanding of data use terms and concepts to support them as they conduct the analysis.
Next, Understand Issues will provide a structure to support the analysis of the data the team has collected and will extend the team’s data literacy and its capacity to deepen the investigation of the identified issue.
the team will move the inquiry forward by looking closely at the data collected to answer the focusing questions. The team will learn to cull the high-level data relevant to the focusing questions from all the available data and how to display these data in a format that will facilitate preliminary analysis. Through this high level analysis, the team will begin to identify the story that the data have to tell, as well as refine its capacity to display the data in a way that will best communicate the story to the audience that is able to t
take action on the identified issue.
Analyzing Data- Good data analysis uncovers the story to be told by data. Data analysis should be a collaborative effort that involves data team members and other stakeholders. Collaboration among stakeholders with knowledge and interest in the priority issue will provide the context to promote effective data analysis. The data analysis process starts with a clear understanding of the issue and focusing question that will guide the inquiry. With those in mind, we can take a hard, objective look at the data that are directly related to the focusing question. Our thoughtful, objective observations can give rise to reasoned inferences that may lead to more questions or to tentative conclusions.
The data overview is a structured process that will help data teams present data about a focusing question to an appropriate audience in a format that will engage them in the data analysis process and promote their buy-in.
Understand Issues has helped dig more deeply into the issue that was identified in Identify Issues. learned about the structure and functions of good data displays and practiced constructing displays. Understand Issues introduced data analysis process to dig into the data related to a focusing question. learned the structure and function of a data overview presentation that can be used to engage an appropriate audience in the inquiry process.
ACTIVITY – Match Up
Purpose – Connect risk factors with their specific data indicators and data sources.
Time – 20 minutes
Instructions –
Have participants form small groups. Refer them to the Worksheet 2.9: Activity – Match Up
Select three risk factors for underage drinking from the first list. Write them on the accompanying chart.
Determine which data indicators from the list below would fit with each of the risk factors you selected. Write this information in the chart. (Again, if necessary, explain what data indicators means)
Identify the source for the data, and write it in the chart
When participants are done, have the groups take turns sharing.
Identify Issues helps formulate the questions that will drive data collection and analysis that leads to the identification of substance use problems and related behaviors problems. The component includes resources and protocols to help clearly articulate questions and identify the data needed to answer them. Learn how to Identify substance use problems and related behaviors
Understand Issues moves to the next step in the inquiry process by beginning to analyze data, generate clarifying questions to focus on how to assess the risk and protective factors that influence (or contribute to) the problems, and identify data needed to dig deeper into the issue and problems. Analyze Risk Factors and Protective Factors
Make an Assessment or Diagnose Causes -guides the process of root cause analysis using data from multiple sources to determine a hypothesized problem of practice that underlies the problem. Teams are also encouraged to test their hypothesis about the causes of the issues under investigation by consulting research and best practice literature. By closely examining their hypothesis, teams are able to accurately define the problem being addressed and identify possible solutions. The component also includes guidance for creating effective data displays and data overviews to conduct initial analyses.
Plan and Take Action provides a framework for putting new knowledge to work by developing a logic model and articulating clear measures that will guide and focus action using the Strategic Prevention Framework. Once desired outcomes have been clearly delineated, and strategies selected to achieve those outcomes, Plan and Take Action helps teams create a plan of action that will move the focus population toward the measurable results. Additionally, Plan and Take Action provides guidance to help teams keep the plan alive through the use of implementation indicators and interim benchmarks to provide the basis for formative evaluation and to use data to guide mid-course corrections if necessary.
Evaluate Outcomes extends the formative evaluation conducted during implementation to the summative evaluation of an action plan’s outcomes. Teams will use tools and guidance to conduct an evaluation that sums up the gains made through their actions and sets the stage to repeat the steps. Evaluate Results also emphasizes the need to communicate with stakeholders about the project’s outcomes and provides resources to support that communication.
Summarize the following points that have been made so far about data:
Examine different kinds of data – Substance use and other behavioral health problems are complex so understanding them requires looking at different kinds of data to get an accurate and complete picture of the problems. Look at quantitative and qualitative data.
Look for relationships and patterns – Numbers alone have no meaning, so look for patterns over time and relationships between data. (Relate this to the previous activity)
Notice any data gaps – Gaps refer to the data that is missing and needed in order to answer the assessment questions. When there is missing data for at-risk population groups, the problems in a community may not be completely captured.
Make the following additional point about the quality of data:
Be aware that not all data are equal, in terms of availability, validity, and other features that might impact your confidence in it. If there are data gaps, you may need to use qualitative data which is less objective.
Use the car analogy to help illustrate the point that data has different levels of quality:
Luxury Car – Valid and reliable measures that allow you to observe outcomes over time
Sedan – Proxy measure that may or may not be a valid indicator of outcomes of interest
Compact Car – Qualitative data such as focus groups and people’s perception of the problem
