| The Longview Wellness Center Wellsprings Program will develop community based service delivery systems and infrastructure for the Longview-Marshall MSA. This project will work through area organizations to reach people over 60 at risk for mental illness; improve the current infrastructure and coordination of care between physicians and mental health practitioners; and implement a fully integrated treatment program through a primary health care clinic. Wellsprings has three main components: 1) provide awareness and education to the community on mental health issues and the impact on physical health; 2) increase the utilization of available mental health services by primary care practitioners; 3) stabilize the existing mental health delivery system while creating infrastructure that integrates primary health care services and mental health into a single entity. This project will work through area organizations to reach people over 60, and implement a fully integrated treatment program, based on best practices, through the Longview Wellness Center’s Community Health Clinic. By using a specific three-pronged approach that is patient driven, practitioner driven and community driven, the system will be seamless to facilitate a smooth transition between services. Wellsprings will use several evidence-based model programs including Gatekeepers Case Finding and Response System to recruit participants, and the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) for medication guidelines to treat Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder and Major Depression. For clients with the diagnosed disorders of: borderline personality, eating disorders, panic disorder, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias of late life, major depression, schizophrenia, suicidal behaviors, acute stress, and posttraumatic stress, Wellsprings will use the American Psychiatric Association guidelines. | ||

| Project Period: 09/30/2003 - 09/29/2008 | ||
| The Coastal Bend AIDS Foundation (CBAF) is a private non-profit community-based organization providing HIV prevention and support services for over 15 years. The Coastal Ben Area of Texas is comprised of 19 counties along and around the Gulf of Mexico in South Texas. Nueces County is on the Gulf of Mexico southeast of San Antonio. The county seat and largest city is Corpus Christi. The local economy is diversified through industries that include petrochemical, tourism, healthcare, retail, education, shipping, and agriculture. The median household income is less than $24,000. The goal of the RFA is to increase access to SAP and HIVP programs in areas with hard to reach populations and high incidence rates of substance abuse and HIV infection, such as rural communities, by increasing both the number of and quality prevention programs in traditionally under-served areas. The proposed project is the catalyst for integrated HIV and substance abuse prevention efforts within the targeted area. This area includes one county (Nueces) that makes up a Metropolitan Statistical Area and three rural counties (Jim Wells, Kleberg, and San Patricio). Additionally, there are an increasing number of colonias as described in Section A. These areas are traditionally found closer to the Texas Mexico border, but with the increase in security and surveillance, these immigrant colonies have begun to locate further North into the Coastal Bend areas. This type of community is difficult to reach and difficult to penetrate to provide quality prevention services. By utilizing a model where peers or promotoras (community health workers) to deliver the prevention message, these areas can be reached thereby enhancing the services provided. The project is designed to be fully sustaining at the end of the five-year grant. CBAF proposes to provide the described services for five years and is requesting approximately $350,000 annually for the five-year period. | ||

| Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2006 | ||
| The current project will deliver and evaluate two health promotion programs to young adult restaurant workers. Both programs use "Team Awareness" (TA), designated by the National Registry of Effective Programs (NREP) as effective in preventing substance abuse. The first program customizes TA for restaurants. The second program uses TA plus leadership training and gives workers access to health-based (e-health) websites. Methodology. The project is participant based: in Phase I, focus groups and pilot-tests with restaurant workers will help shape the actual content of the program (2 years). In Phase II, restaurants within a national restaurant chain will be randomly assigned to receive either program or no program (control group) (3 years). Service delivery targets a total of 36 restaurants, roughly 1800 hourly workers, and 100 managers in three U.S. Metropolitan areas: Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Washington D.C Metro Area, and Miami/South Florida. A total of 1260 ethnically-diverse workers in the 18 to 24 age group are expected to receive training. The experimental design involves participants completing pre- and post-training surveys and follow- up surveys at 6, 12, and 18 months posttraining Measures. Surveys will ask about health behaviors (including mental health and substance use), perceptions of work climate (including job stress), and perceptions of one's self as an "emerging" or maturing adult. In addition, administrative data from the company will include performance criteria for each participating restaurant (e.g., turnover reports, customer satisfaction). Hypotheses. It is expected that, following the same logic of the original TA,participants from both programs will reduce problem drinking behaviors (e.g., DWI), and work units (restaurants) will show improvements in climate (e.g., team work). In addition, overall unit performance will increase, compared to controls. | ||

| The Houston Independent School District (HISD), in partnership with the Texas Association of Partners in Education (TAPE), proposes to host a 40 Developmental Assets Conference: Building Assets to Prevent Substance Use. The 40 Developmental Assets (40 Assets) framework is the basis for the proposed conference. The proposed conference will be held in Houston, Texas in the late spring/early summer of 2006. The 40 Assets framework, an approved "Strategic Framework for Prevention," as designated by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Association (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). HISD, the largest public school system in Texas and the seventh largest in the United States, educates approximately 211,000 students at 302 campuses and educational programs in an urban, primarily inner-city area. HISD is an ideal site to disseminate substance use prevention training to a broad spectrum of participants. The purpose of the proposed conference is to disseminate knowledge about 40 Developmental Assets, the role assets play in substance abuse prevention, and to provide participants with strategies for integrating the 40 Assets framework into substance abuse prevention efforts. This will be accomplished by meeting the proposed conference goals of educating multiple, intergenerational sectors of the community about the 40 Developmental Assets framework, and linking asset-building strategies to prevention efforts. Participants will include key community stakeholders, including parents, school administrators, educators, non-instructional school staff, faith-based community members, youth, business partners, and local foundation members. | ||

| The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community-based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well. These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness. The Texas Strategic Prevention Framework will strengthen the prevention infrastructure to develop and coordinate a statewide strategy to prevent substance abuse and related problem behaviors by building on the existing infrastructure of the Drug Demand Reduction Advisory Committee. | ||

| It is evident that the spread (including new cases) of HIV in the United States is disproportionately high among minorities. Similarly, the substance-abuse associated AIDS cases in the African-American communities are a growing national concern. Central to the planning project of Motherland, Inc. is its commitment to reduce the incidence of substance abuse and HIV/STD infection among minorities. The focus on youth, especially within the African-American population residents in identified high-risk neighborhoods of Greater Houston Area and Harris County underscore the urgency and importance placed on information, knowledge and safer sex negotiating skills. Using drama therapy, Motherland, Inc. plans specifically to target minority youth in safe houses which encourage youth to seek help and guidance in an environment that is unthreatening and fosters self-confidence and individual initiative. It also will concentrate on juvenile probation centers where the prevention interventions provided by Motherland, Inc. can be intensive and tailored to address ongoing and identifiable risk behaviors. The ultimate outcome is risk reduction practices and prevention measures that lead to heightened awareness, personal responsibility, and behavior changes. Youth from communities of color in the Greater Houston Area and Harris County are at high risk of both substance abuse and HIV/AIDS based on their propensity to engage in high-risk behaviors. In the target populations, individual, family, peer, community, school, and community risk factors are frequently not counterbalanced by adequate protective factors. Motherland, Inc. will develop, implement, and evaluate a series of community-based drama performances that address deep issues surrounding motivators and consequences of high-risk behaviors with respect to substance abuse and sexual behaviors. | ||

Choices' staff will be guided by the CSAP publication, Prevention Works! A Practitioner's Guide to Achieving Outcomes. The guide provides a logical and appropriate framework for achieving prevention outcomes. The process will include the following important steps: · Assessing needs, underlying conditions, and assets; · Recruiting members of a Strategic Advisory Board to guide programmatic decision-making; · Building organizational capacity to support the program · Hiring and training culturally appropriate staff; · Selecting the best-fit science-based programs; · Planning for the implementation of the program; · Delivering the integrated substance abuse and HIV prevention program; and · Evaluating program outcomes along the way Staff will work with an accomplished evaluation team to assist them with selection, evaluation, and integration of the two distinct program areas into one seamless program for the youth. Upon conclusion of the grand, staff anticipates receiving funding from other sources to continue to provide similar services to the target population in the juvenile justice system in Dallas County as well as other counties across Texas. | ||
