Virginia proposes to use this Data Infrastructure Grant to implement the strategies that were developed during the previous Data Infrastructure Grant specifically, the "Community Consumer Submission" (CCS). This important breakthrough in electronic data collection will allow Virginia to report unduplicated data across community and hospital programs. Because CCS will greatly reduce the reporting burden on CSBs, a strong partnership between the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services and the CSBs has been forged to achieve this new high quality data collection method. The Data Infrastructure Grant will support full implementation of the CCS3, as well as a future version of CCS (CCS4).

The Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services (DMHMRSAS) proposes to develop and implement specific strategies along multiple interactive domains including: leadership commitment, the use of data to inform practice, workforce development, tools and techniques, consumer participation, and debriefing techniques in order to continue toward the goal of reducing the incidence of seclusion and restraint. Already well underway, is the successful implementation of "first generation" seclusion and restraint reduction strategies. The DMHMRSAS has virtually eliminated the use of restrictive procedures in more than half of the Department's facilities and now is poised to systematically implement an enhanced range of strategies and evidence-based practices that will positively impact both the targeted treatment of persons with a serious mental illness as well as special cohorts of this population. These include children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance and individuals committed through the criminal justice system.

The American Psychiatric Association's Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) endeavors to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in mental health and substance abuse care by providing specialized training to psychiatry residents and medical students interested in serving minority communities. Our first goal, to eliminate disparities in access to, quality of, and outcomes in mental health and substance abuse care, will be achieved by increasing the supply of leaders in psychiatry who have a strong commitment to the needs of minority patients and their communities. Outstanding ethnic minority psychiatry residents and medical students will be selected to participate in a leadership development program. The second goal, to improve access to quality care, will be accomplished by providing extramural and experiential learning opportunities to psychiatry residents in culturally competent treatment and evidence based medicine. This project seeks to build upon its previous success by promoting the highest quality care, promoting psychiatric education, training, and research, and increasing workforce diversity and cultural competence as important means to achieve the goal of eliminating disparities. The MFP is a key mechanism for achieving these priorities.

The primary goal of the Council on Social Work Education Minority Fellowship Program is to support doctoral training for ethnic minority mental health/substance abuse social workers committed to the improvement of culturally competent services for ethnic minorities with mental and/or addictive disorders. This effort is intended to create a nucleus of ethnic minority social workers trained to teach, administer, conduct services research, and provide direct mental health/substance abuse services to ethnic minority groups. They will also provide leadership, consultation and administrative expertise to public, private, and non-profit primary care provider organizations and educational institutions. The knowledge and expertise of these fellows will strengthen training programs providing services to ethnic minority mental health and substance abuse consumers. Upon completion of their training, the fellows will be expected to be trained in the latest evidence- based, culturally competent practices in mental health and substance abuse treatment and prevention, to collaborate with national mental health organizations regarding training support, and to enhance interdisciplinary efforts to improve the quality of care and access to mental health and substance abuse services for underserved ethnic minority communities. The renewal of this project would facilitate the continuation of the Council on Social Work Education's efforts to prepare ethnic minority individuals who apply for doctoral-level training in schools of social work to become specialists in areas where personnel shortages occur.

The primary goal of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Minority Fellowship Program is to increase the availability, quality, and effectiveness of mental health and substance abuse treatment and prevention services to underserved minority populations. AAMFT will accomplish this objective by training 28 doctoral-level students per year to provide culturally competent mental health and substance abuse treatment to minority populations. Fellows will be trained in the most current and effective evidence-based practices with a focus on cultural competence. Fellows will be trained to deliver services to minority populations and directed to the public mental health system. The AAMFT will create a MFP Advisory Committee comprised of experts in the field of the Marriage and Family Therapy with a demonstrated history of providing mental health and substance abuse services to underserved minority populations. The Advisory Committee will screen and select fellows and provide oversight of the program. AAMFT plans to collaborate closely with all centers of learning where its fellows are trained to ensure culturally competent evidence-based practices are infused into the programs. Additionally, AAMFT will ensure appropriate collaboration with other mental health organizations in an effort to further reduce the mental health disparities among underserved minority populations. This application represents a significant new opportunity for AAMFT to partner with SAMHSA in contributing to the transformation of our behavioral health care system into one that competently and effectively meets the needs of all Americans.

Three subpopulations are served under this grant: Minority Men who are living with HIV/AIDS; Minority MSM; and Minority Men who are recently released from incarceration. Prevention services include programs that have been proven to be effective with these populations, including Empowerment and Many Men, Many Voices. An Adaptation of Intensive AIDS Education in Jails, a CDC Compendium Intervention is provided to minority men who are recently released from incarceration. Prevention Case Management and individual level education and behavioral counseling are the primary interventions for men living with HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis who practice high-risk behaviors that could lead to disease transmission or those at high risk of contracting the diseases.
In addition, the project provides HIV and Hepatitis testing and referrals to additional services such as substance abuse treatment. Targeted street outreach is used to recruit for group-level and individual-level interventions and to educate and distribute prevention supplies among the target populations. Referrals from organizations working with recently incarcerated individuals and from the criminal justice system are also used to recruit participants.
A capacity building component of the grant allows ASG, who has over ten years of prevention education experience with these populations, to provide Fredericksburg Area HIV/AIDS Support Services (FAHASS) with assistance in the growth of their prevention education efforts with these target populations.

The purpose of the Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking (STOP) Act grant program is to prevent and reduce alcohol use among youth in communities throughout the United States. The STOP Act grant program will encourage existing local community coalitions to develop, assess, and implement effective strategies to prevent and reduce underage drinking. Strategoies may include: changing local attitudes and norms, and re-evaluating existing laws and policies.
(1) Grantee must participate in national evaluation activities of the STOP grant program.
(2) STOP Grantees must use the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a five step evidence based process for community planning and decision-making. The five step rocess includes: needs assessment, capacity building, planning, implementation and evaluation.
(3) STOP grantees must plan and implement a comprehensive approach inclusive of multiple strategies as emphasized in the 2007 Surgeon General's Call to Action to prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking located online at: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/topics/underage drinking/calltoaction.pdf Emphasis should be given to environmental strategies that incorporate prevention efforts aimed at changing or influencing community conditions, standards, institutions, structures, systems and policies. In addition, grantees must select strategies that lead to long term outcomes.
(4) STOP grantees must enhance, not supplant, effective local community initiatives for preventing and reducing alcohol use among youth. For current Drug Free Community grantees, STOP ACT foods can not be used to supplant or replace activities that are presently being supported by Drug Free Comunity funds, and , separate DFC and STOP ACT accouting systems must be maintained for the purposes of reporting.

It partners with a large health care facility to implement the enhanced Healthy WorkLife program based on the NREPP workplace model. In Phase 2, the enhancements developed in Phase 1 will be provided to 10 groups of 15 participants along with 2 posttest surveys along with a process evaluation, complete data analysis and reporting. The population in a health care setting has a diverse number (approximately 900) of young adults ages 18 to 25. Job categories include health care (nursing, lab technicians), administration, food service, and maintenance. This program is based on a 25 year history of workplace-based substance abuse prevention and health promotion. The primary components include stress management, tobacco use, nutrition/weight management, and substance use. By including substance use within health/wellness, research has shown that both substance abuse prevention and health/wellness promotion work. Products of the grant will be a video/DVD based program along with a trainer manual accompanying print materials. Expected intermediate and long-term outcomes include improvements in substance use attitudes and behaviors; in nutrition attitudes and behaviors; in coping and stress relief strategies and a reduction in outward expressions of anger and lower rates of turnover and absenteeism.

The Mid-Atlantic ATTC is one of the original eleven ATTCs funded by CSAT in 1993, and from 2001 it included MD, NC, VA and WV. The current Mid-Atlantic ATTC region includes KY, TN, VA and WV, bringing together four states that not only have significant rural areas, but western VA, eastern KY, middle TN and all of WV form most of Southern Appalachia. These two factors alone create substantial commonality among these states regarding substance use disorders treatment and recovery issues. The purpose of the Mid-Atlantic ATTC is to develop and strengthen the substance abuse disorders workforce in partnership with stakeholder groups, by assessing training and development needs and by developing and conducting training and technology transfer activities to meet those needs. Raising awareness of and improving skills in using evidence-based and promising treatment and recovery practices in recovery-oriented systems of care is a priority. For efficiency, the Mid-Atlantic ATTC will rely on online courses for events that raise awareness or impart limited information. For technical assistance or learning interventions that develop skills, the ATTC will use a combination of sequenced activities that incorporate face-to-face instruction, behavioral rehearsal, supervision and coaching with long-term booster sessions and follow-up activities.

The AIDS/HIV Services Group (ASG) proposes to expand our pretreatment project known as CEEP that provides outreach, HIV and Hepatitis testing and risk reduction education, case management and motivational services to African-American and Latino substance abusers. ASG will focus the majority of our efforts reaching minority men and women who have recently been released from incarceration and secondary efforts on African-American and Latino males not in the criminal justice system, including MSM, and African-American and Latina females, also not in the criminal justice system, who abuses alcohol and other drugs. The targeted area for this project includes the cities of Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Staunton and Waynesboro and the counties of Albemarle, Augusta, Buckingham, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Louisa, Nelson and Prince Edward. All locations are in primarily rural areas of Central and Northwest Virginia.
ASG's current project has been successful in motivating minority substance abusers into treatment. The project also has follow-up services after post-treatment to help improve the recovery process and maintain abstinence. The project utilizes the CDC model program Community PROMISE, the NIDA Community-Based Outreach Model, CDC effective practice of Comprehensive Risk Counseling and Services and SAMHSA effective practice of Case Management for Substance Abusers, which is outlined in Treatment Improvement Protocol 27: (TIP) Comprehensive Case Management for Substance Abuse Treatment.

In order to address this need, CVCS will expand our continuum of care by implementing the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) and the Assertive Continuing Care (ACC). The project will target at least 132 adolescents, 12-1 8 years of age, with a primary substance use disorder or co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorder, and their families from the City of Lynchburg and Amherst County, Virginia. Goals for the project include expanding outreach efforts to engage the target population, providing evidence-based substance abuse treatment services, providing wraparound services to increase access and continuation in treatment, and completing follow-up data on at least 80% of participants at 3,6,9, and 12 months to measure treatment services, outcomes, and costs. ACRA includes 12-14 weeks of outpatient treatment, random drug testing, and referrals for other services, as needed. ACC includes 15 weeks of active case management provided in the adolescent's home or natural environment, random drug testing and follow-up at 3,6,9, and 12-months. All participants in the ACRA program will be assigned to an ACC Case Manager. CVCS anticipates serving a total of 36 adolescents in the first year of funding, 48 adolescents in the second year of funding, and 48 adolescents in the third year (unduplicated numbers) for a total of 132 adolescents served.
