Regional Prevention Coordinator

1.0         INTRODUCTION

 

1.1         The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), an agency of the State of Oklahoma, is continuing funding for Region 6 to implement alcohol and other drug prevention services commencing July 1, 2020.This contract is the final year of the awarded grant and will expire on June 30, 2021. The contract will support community-based planning and implementation of evidence-based alcohol and other drug prevention strategies.

 

1.1.1    The purpose is aligned with the vision, mission, and goals of the state’s strategic prevention plan to create prevention-capable communities in order to:

 

1.1.1.1                Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse;

 

1.1.1.2                Reduce the problems/consequences related to substance abuse; and

 

1.1.1.3                Increase prevention capacity and prevention infrastructure at the community level.

 

1.1.2    The ODMHSAS intends to achieve this purpose utilizing a public health approach termed hereafter as the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is a community-based approach to prevention and a series of implementation principles intended to produce population-level outcomes.

 

1.1.3    The state also funds 16 other Regional Prevention Coordinators (RPCs) in order to plan and implement alcohol and other drug prevention services.

 

1.1.4    Through a separate funding stream, the state will fund high need communities for the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grant.  RPCs shall coordinate with SPF-PFS recipients to ensure collaboration, maximization of resources, and that there is no duplication of effort.

 

1.2         Oklahoma’s Approach to Prevention:

 

1.2.1    To prevent the onset and prevent/reduce the problems associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, Oklahoma will work from a theory of change that is supported through research. Research has shown changing population behavior requires targeting resources to issues influencing that behavior (intervening variables, or risk or causal factors). Once these issues have been identified, a comprehensive set of state and community evidencebased strategies can be selected and employed.

 

1.2.2    Achieving significant, populationbased behavior change requires more than making a positive impact on the underlying conditions (i.e., risk and protective factors); it requires significant and measurable reductions in the causal factors related to substance abuse. The idea of multiple influences affecting behavioral outcomes is evident in the causal factor research conducted by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE). PIRE has identified causal factors or areas of intervention that can make drug using behaviors—and therefore the profusion of health, social, and economic problems related to drug use—more or less likely to occur.

 

1.2.3    Oklahoma’s commitment to the risk and protective factor model is in alignment with the causal factor model, which represents a public health approach to prevention and emphasizes prevention effects at the community level. Oklahoma appreciates that communities are complex systems with complicated and shifting interactions among and between their parts, and recognizes that preventing substance abuse requires a comprehensive, systematic approach based on a clear understanding of each contributing causal factor and the relationship between those factors. Knowing how—and where—to effectively intervene is essential to achieving population outcomes.

 

1.2.4    The SPF model employs a public health approach that focuses on achieving population-level outcomes. In instituting the SPF process, Oklahoma has transformed from a focus on services to individuals or small groups of consumers to populationbased approaches that view community wellbeing as the unit of outcome measurement, and from agencycentered services to coordinated, multi-sector systems approaches that use evidencebased practices to achieve change.

 

1.2.5    RPCs are the backbone of Oklahoma’s substance abuse prevention system and are therefore best suited to coordinate a comprehensive prevention system at the local level.

 

1.3         The Problem:

 

1.3.1    Alcohol and other drug consumption is a serious public health problem in Oklahoma, driving a multitude of community problems and social consequences. According to the Oklahoma State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW), a group that compiles and reports on state alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data, Oklahoma is above the national average in multiple indicators.

 

1.4         State Priority:

 

1.4.1    The State conducted a thorough review of available alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data and identified the following priorities. It is the intention of the ODMHSAS to fund prevention services that address these defined priorities at the community level. It is the responsibility of the RPC to conduct a local-level needs assessment to determine which of the following priorities will be addressed and the priority populations/communities of focus to be served. RPCs are required to select at least one priority from the state’s list of Regional Block Grant/State Funded Priorities. The ODMHSAS may prescribe communities of focus and/or priorities.

2.0       DEFINITIONS

 

            2.1       RPC – Regional Prevention Coordinator

 

2.2       SPF-PFS – Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership For Success Grant

 

 

3.0       WORK REQUIREMENTS

 

3.1       In order to fulfill the purpose of this contract, the ODMHSAS expects RPCs to systematically:

 

                        3.1.1  Assess their communities’ prevention needs based on epidemiological data;

 

3.1.1    Build community prevention capacity;

3.1.2    Develop strategic plan(s) and work plan(s);

 

3.1.3    Implement effective community prevention policies, practices, program; and

 

3.1.4    Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.

 

3.2         Although the direct recipients of funds from this contract are an RPC, the ODMHSAS expects prevention services to be implemented in partnership between RPCs, coalitions, strategic partners, and communities. The RPCs shall be accountable for demonstrating community coalition and partner planning and implementation of the project. The ODMHSAS expects the RPCs to have two explicit roles at the community-level:

 

3.2.1    Provide expertise and guidance via training and technical assistance to communities and community coalitions to build substance abuse prevention capacity; and

 

3.2.2    Strategically coordinate the implementation of prevention services at the local-level in partnership with community stakeholders.

 

3.3         Coalition Memorandums of Understanding (MOU):

 

3.3.1    The provider should identify the partner coalition(s) for the selected construct(s) and community indicator(s). RPC and SPF-PFS Contractors should not use the same coalition to address the same priority issue. The coalition must be located in the priority community. The Contractor must maintain an MOU with the coalition. The MOU will agree to (1) allow the RPC to provide capacity building services for the coalition and the community; (2) plan, implement, and evaluate prevention services related to the prioritized indicators identified in the assessment; and (3) cover the entire contract period. If coalitions do not exist in the priority community or are not the appropriate fit for the prioritized indicator(s), a written plan to address this issue must be submitted to the ODMHSAS for written approval.

 

3.4         Use of Evidence-Based Practices:

 

3.4.1    This contract is intended to fund prevention strategies that have a demonstrated evidence base and that are appropriate for targeted communities/populations. An evidence-based practice (EBP) refers to approaches to prevention that are validated by documented research evidence. 

 

3.4.2    Contractor shall use the criteria developed by the Oklahoma EBP Workgroup and the ODMHSAS when developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s). To achieve population-level outcomes, Contractor will be required to implement evidence-based environmental prevention strategies (all strategies are subject to approval by the ODMHSAS and the Oklahoma Evidence-Based Practices Workgroup), which are those policies or practices that create a community or cultural environment that supports healthy and safe behavior. Other strategies that are not part of the community domain are considered supplemental and may be considered with prior written approval from the ODMHSAS.

 

3.4.3    When developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s), Contractors are expected to provide justification of the evidence that shows the selected practices are effective. Contractors are also expected to justify the population(s) for which the practice has been shown to be effective/appropriate. Selection of evidence-based practices will be reviewed and approved by the ODMHSAS prior to implementation.  Implementation may not begin until the Contractor’s work plan(s) are approved.

 

3.5         Moving SAMHSA’s SPF from vision to practice is a strategic process that the Contractor and community stakeholders must undertake in partnership. Contractor shall provide the leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that the communities of focus are successful in implementing the five steps of the framework listed below. Contractor shall complete required activities for each step of the SPF process at the community site levels. Contractor shall use the SPF to guide all prevention activities throughout the focus community and coordinate and/or leverage all prevention resources whether funded though the RPC or other sources.

 

3.6         This contract shall be executed consistent with the five steps of the SPF.  Contractors complete and submit the RPC community work plans according to deadlines prescribed by the ODMHSAS, before commencing implementation of the strategies.

 

3.7         The ODMHSAS will provide direct support to the Contractors to fulfill the requirements of this contract. However, the Contractors are viewed as the primary deliverer of guidance and expertise to the communities and coalitions. The following requirements and guidelines lay out the five steps of the SPF as they pertain to this contract.

 

3.7.1    Step 1: Profile population needs, resources, and readiness to address the problems and gaps in service delivery.

 

3.7.2    Step 2: Mobilize and/or build capacity to address needs.

 

3.7.3    Step 3: Develop a comprehensive strategic/work plan.

 

3.7.4    Step 4: Implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices, and infrastructure development activities.

 

3.7.5    Step 5: Monitor process, evaluate effectiveness, sustain effective programs/activities, and improve or replace those that fail.
