Further, rates among African-born women were comparable to those seen in Sub-Saharan Africa, 51 % of all the cases between African immigrant and refugees were women.

Following the SAMHSA Strategic prevention Framework, prevent and reduce the transmission of HIV and hepatitis and the onset of substance abuse among African-born people living in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota metropolitan area. We will conduct a community needs assessment for the target population. A needs assessment has been done for African Americans but African-born are considered an emerging risk. A Strategic Plan will emerge from the Community Needs Assessment. In the meantime, we will use our contacts with mosques and evangelical churches to gain trust of the African-born population and deliver prevention messages through respected leaders. Cable television and ethnic newsletters will be another vehicle. A recognized effective prevention intervention will be adapted to serve the needs of African-born adults will be selected.

Evaluation: There are four major components: a needs assessment; an examination of outcomes; an exploration of process issues; and an assessment

Minnesota COSIG will expand current standardized screening and assessment to quadrants 2 and 3 with infrastructure development activities in mental health centers and substance abuse agencies that are co-located and dually licensed as mental health centers and substance abuse agencies; they will collaborate with primary care partners. The project will build upon the extensive work currently underway by a mental health public-private partnership action group to conduct an analysis of the fiscal framework specifically targeted on services for quadrants 2 and 3 to significantly increase the likelihood that services will be available for persons with co-occurring disorders. Expected results include: a formal state policy for Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) across a wide range of stakeholders who are invested in implementing and maintaining the IDDT infrastructure; a pool of educated and competent clinicians to provide IDDT and in the case of primary care physicians, knowledge about dual disorders and referral resources; clients with dual disorders will receive services consistent with evidence-based principles/practice that result in improved client outcomes and recovery.

Project Period: 09/30/2009 - 09/29/2014
Perspectives, Inc. (the largest supportive housing program in Minnesota), proposes to provide integrated primary health, substance abuse, and mental health services to homeless (including chronic homeless) women. One hundred percent of the clients have substance abuse disorders; 85% have co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. Perspectives, Inc. has partnered with Wayside Housing, a substance abuse treatment program for women (30% homeless), in order to form The Main Street Collaborative. The Main Street Collaborative will serve 120 women in Year 1, an additional 135 women during Years 2-4, and admit 45 women in Year 5, totaling 300 women over the life of the grant. Main Street has a diverse population currently made up of 36% African Americans, 40% Caucasians and 23% American Indians. In addition, this ethnically diverse population has had repeated encounters with public services, such as police, jail, court, detox centers, emergency medical and transportation, as well as involvement with child protection services. They also have had repeated incidences of public inebriation and 52% of the clients have lost custody of their children. All clients require a wide range of coordinated services, support and have an immediate need for housing in order to stabilize and maintain their sobriety. All homeless women admitted to treatment and subsequently, supportive housing, will be screened for the presence of co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, HIV/AIDs, and for trauma histories. Major treatment approaches include: intensive case management, using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
