Situation:

  The recent statewide needs assessment identified substance use prevention and recovery as the most urgent priority for Cooperative Extension.  Moreover, substance use was the focal point of the CES Advisory Council Meeting in early 2019.  Taken together, youth KIP survey data and data from the CES needs assessment demonstrate the need to address substance use prevention, recovery, stigma, and impact on families and communities.

Long-Term Outcomes:
  1. The prevention and/or reduction of substance use and its related consequences.
  2. Changed public perception of substance use via stigma reduction.
Intermediate Outcomes:
  1. Reduced stigma from local community members
  2. Increased Opioid Stewardship (less rx’ing by doctors, appropriate Rx disposal, drug takebacks, etc.)
  3. Delayed age of first use among Kentucky youth

 

 

Initial Outcomes:
  1. Increased knowledge of substance use prevention, addiction, and recovery (or related subject matter)
  2. Increased ability to use destigmatized language
  3. Improved social skills and/or self-efficacy in KY youth
