Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Buena Salud: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment - The Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) is applying on behalf of an array of helping agencies in the area to address the substance problems in East Houston.
The project is designed to provide holistic screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment to the population of focus to help achieve good health, or Buena Salud in Spanish, a culturally relevant name selected for the project.
The geographic catchment area for the proposed project is East Houston, TX focusing on specific zip codes with the highest density of people of color (POC): 77004, 77017, 77021, 77023, 77033, 77034, 77047, 77048, 77051, 77058, 77059, 77061, 77062, 77075, 77087, 77089.
The following are the project goals:
Goal 1: Provide a project planning and start-up phase to allow for development to support the goals, objectives, and implementation of SBIRT to the population of focus.
Goal 2: Expand/enhance the continuum of care for substance use disorder (SUD) services and reduce alcohol and other drug (AOD) consumption and its negative health impact, increase abstinence, reduce costly health care utilization, and promote sustainability in the catchment area for the population focus through the implementation of SBIRT.
Goal 3: Administer/oversee SBIRT operations to the population of focus to reduce underage drinking, opioid use, overdose death/incidence rate, and other dangerous substance use.
AAMA proposes to pre/screen 8,100, brief interventions for 8,415, brief treatment for 2,525, and referral to treatment for 379 individuals in year one. Years 2-5: pre/screen 12,000, brief interventions for 1,800, brief treatment for 540, referral to treatment for 81 individuals per year for a five-year total of pre/screen 56,100 individuals, brief interventions for 8,415, brief treatment for 2,525, referral to treatment for 379 individuals.
AAMA is requesting $986,612 per year for a total of $4,933,060 for SBIRT.
SBIRT site partners include San Jose Health Home, Christus St. Mary's Health Center, El Centro FQHC Health Center, and George I. Sanchez Charter Schools. Specialty treatment providers include Houston Treatment Center, Cenikor, Cheyenne Center, and Center for Success and Independence.
The accomplishment of these goals and objectives will reduce differences in access, service use, and outcomes of services among the defined population of focus in the catchment area.
