TST- STOP ACT project serves the entire State of TX with a total population of 23,728,510, the bulk of which resides in metropolitan areas. The State's minority population of 12.2 M is predominantly Hispanic. TST effectively manages service to the vast regions of the state by organizing annual Regional Policy Forums in logical geographical centers across the state (Houston, Dallas, Lufkin, Austin, Midland, El Paso, and San Antonio). The clinical characteristics, recommended strategies and interventions, and current progress toward statewide coalition goals are summarized in the annual TST report Card. Underage alcohol use costs the State of TX more than 5.2 Billion annually. Alcohol is the primary drug of choice of all under-21 age groups, with average age of first use at 12.2 years. Although short and long-term trends show alcohol use decreasing among TX secondary students, 65.9% indicate lifetime use and 31.5% used in last 30 days. Among underage college students, 58% used in last 30 days, with 24% binge drinking. Both high school and college students report social access as primary source of alcohol (50-80% from friends, relatives, and parties). Texas consistently ranks highest in the nation for underage alcohol related traffic fatalities. To address these needs, TST has identified that education is needed on evidence-based environmental prevention strategies such as sobriety checkpoints, keg registration, alcohol excise tax increases, and increased awareness and enforcement of social host laws. TST analysis also indicates a critical need for more schools to participate in surveys collecting substance abuse trends and NOMs data. Preemption and biannual Legislative Sessions challenge progress toward successful interventions. Therefore, TST STOP Act Project objectives are (1) increase it ability to response to requests for information, training, and research; (2) capitalize on readiness developed through Regional Forums and develop skill sets in TX.

Project PHASES will provide HIV/AIDS and substance abuse expansion services to address gaps in SA and HIV services in the Coastal Bend area of South Texas. The Hispanic population is the fastest growing minority group currently; they currently comprise 13.4% of the propulation, but they are projected to be 24% of the population by 2050. They account for 18% of the newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases. In 2006, 66% of new HIV infection reported in the Coastal Bend area were Hispanic.
