Partnerships to Prevent Alcohol Involved Deaths - The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), Division of Behavioral Health, Bureau of Substance Abuse requests $1,000,000 through the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success Grant to reduce adult drinking and alcohol involved deaths with those 45 years old and older in eight of Iowa's highest need counties.

To this end, the "Prevention Partnerships to Reduce Adult Binge Drinking and Alcohol Involved Deaths" project proposes to reduce the rates of adult binge drinking and alcohol involved deaths in funded counties by the end of the project. IDPH identified the fifteen highest need counties through a ranking of all 99 Iowa counties based on five alcohol specific data indicators.

Grant funds will be awarded to eight of Iowa's fifteen highest need counties through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. At the county-level, sub-recipients will utilize the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) in collaboration with a countywide coalition. Sub-recipients will implement at least one individual and three environmental evidence-based strategies.

At the state level, the State Epidemiological Workgroup Prevention Partnerships Advisory Council (SEWPPAC) will establish a data improvement group to fill substance use gaps. State staff will expand the "Think Before You Drink" statewide media campaign to include additional messages and materials. The evidence-based practices workgroup will identify a set of programs and environmental strategies from which sub-recipients can choose to implement.

The Alliance of Coalitions for Change, through a contracted Coalition Development Coordinator, will oversee training, technical assistance, and support for all countywide coalition project collaborators. Capacity coaches will provide coaching services on the SPF process to county sub-recipients as requested.

Project Goal: Through the use of the Strategic Prevention Framework, reduce county-level binge drinking rates and alcohol involved deaths rates among 45 year olds and older.

Project Objectives:
Objective 1: Reduce the rate of adult binge drinking by at least 5% in 90% of the sub-recipient counties.
Objective 2: Increase the number of adult consumption and/or consequence data elements by two in Iowa's data set.
Objective 3: Expand the "Think Before You Drink" statewide media campaign to include three messages.
Objective 4: Implement at least one individual and three environmental evidence-based strategies in each county.
Objective 5: By the end of Year 1, 100% of countywide coalitions in eight high need counties will complete one asset mapping tool and one coalition health survey, then create one plan to strengthen processes and priorities.
Objective 6: By the end of Year 2, 100% of county coalitions in eight highest need counties will complete a training series of five webinars on the SPF process.

IDPH anticipates, pending which counties are funded through the RFP, serving 1,556,250 people.
