Connecticut Partnerships for Success 2022 - Connecticut proposes to use the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) in 12 underserved, underfunded, and high-need urban-periphery, suburban, and rural communities statewide to develop and implement prevention programs to reduce alcohol use in youth aged 12 to 17, highlighting populations that are disproportionately affected.

The overall goal is to reduce alcohol consumption in youth ages 12-17 in the 12 selected CT communities. Interventions that will be supported through this grant will include the use of the SPF, semi-annual compliance checks with alcohol outlets in collaboration with the Department of Consumer Protection, Liquor Control Division (DCP), social marketing campaigns about alcohol use, education and skill development small group meetings for youth ages 12 to 17, coalition collaboration across sectors, as well as the enhancement of the data system that supports assessment and evaluation of prevention initiatives.

Based on the State Department of Education's student enrollment data, it is anticipated that these interventions will reach approximately 19,900 youth ages 12-17 in the 12 selected communities annually, and each year throughout the grant.

The communities will convene and engage coalitions of key stakeholders, including youth, and utilize comprehensive prevention approaches approved by the CT Evidence-Based Practices Workgroup. Coalitions will receive training and technical assistance via existing state prevention resource links to strengthen and enhance their prevention services.

The existing Alcohol & Drug Policy Council, Prevention Subcommittee will serve as the advisory council to guide the CT PFS 2022 initiative. Researchers at the University of Connecticut Health Center will be responsible for the statewide process and outcome evaluation and coordinating state and community-level data collection with the national PFS evaluation team.
