S. Department of Health and Human Services BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) to reduce underage and excessive drinking among youth and young adults’ ages 12 to 25 years old. Due to a significant prevalence of underage and excessive drinking among 12 to 25 years old, the communities of Antioch and Walnut Creek were identified through a data-driven needs assessment process that compared County and State level indicators of substance abuse, its prevalence, and its consequences, and ultimately selected these two communities for the SPFSIG project. Through an established partnership with local law enforcement and elected officials in each of those communities, the County Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) prevention services will engage existing system of care providers and residents through a Countywide Strategic Prevention Framework, and develop a logic model that can assist in identifying priorities and build capacity based on specific cultural and AOD needs. The goal of the project will be to reduce underage and excessive drinking among youth and young adults’ ages 12 to 25 years old, in the cities of Antioch and Walnut Creek, by implementing the County’s Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Project, through September 28, 2015. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this application is not approved, the County’s Alcohol and Other Drugs Services will not receive funding to implement the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Project. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not Applicable.
