SPF SIG Cross-Site Evaluation, Community Level Instrument, Part I

Information and Directions

The Community Level Instrument (CLI) is designed as a two-part survey. Part I collects data about the subrecipient community’s progress through the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Initiative. Part II collects information about the specific prevention intervention(s) and strategies being implemented by the community. Data collected from the survey will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Strategic Prevention Framework.

Completion of this survey is a requirement of accepting funding from CSAP under the SPF-SIG grant initiative. However, respondents may choose not to answer a specific question and respondents may end the survey at any time. Most of this information will be collected once per fiscal year. To minimize respondent burden and decrease completion time this web-based survey allows information entered in previous reporting periods to be pre-filled where possible and skip patterns are used to automatically take you to the appropriate question based on your responses.

Each subrecipient community will be assigned a unique identification. This identification will be used to link together all the data collected from a community throughout the grant period without the need to identify the community by name. In addition, no individuals will be identified in the reporting of results.

Sections 1–3 are to be answered by the primary grantee (that is, the state/tribe/jurisdiction) SPF SIG reviewer. This reviewer is someone who is directly involved with administering the SPF SIG grant to subrecipient communities, such as a Project Director. Sections 4–9 are to be answered by the subrecipient communities. Throughout sections 4–9, the term “you” refers to the subrecipient community that has received SPF SIG funding from the SPF SIG Primary Grantee. The subrecipient community could be an organization, coalition, or other entity.

Make sure to read all of the directions and examples, which are provided in italics. You are strongly encouraged to obtain input from others involved with the SPF SIG funded project. Each section of the instrument includes a list of individuals whom you may want to consider consulting in this data collection effort. As part of this process, we encourage you to print out a hard copy of the instrument and review it with key individuals, such as the project coordinator, evaluator, intervention delivery staff, and others, as appropriate.

Prior to completing the survey, you may find it helpful to gather the following materials to help answer questions:

  • Budgets

  • Results of needs/resources assessments

  • Strategic plans

  • Meeting minutes

  • Memoranda of understanding

  • Prevention intervention implementation materials (curricula, programs, etc.)

  • Evaluation findings/reports

  • Organizational policies

As you enter your data, you will be able to save your work and come back to it at another time. You may also write your responses to the open-ended questions requiring narrative information in advance using a word processor and copy and paste them into the web-based survey.

If you need assistance in using the web-based data entry system, contact the Help Desk by phone at 1-888-DITIC-4-U or by e-mail at [email protected].

There are several terms used throughout this instrument for which CSAP provides the definitions on the following pages. In addition, the link below provides access to SAMHSA’s prevention glossary.

Definition of Terms

  • Capacity building refers to activities conducted to improve the ability of an organization or community to deliver substance abuse prevention services, such as improving organizational resources; improving awareness about substance abuse problems; building new relationships or strengthening existing relationships among coalitions, groups, and organizations involved in substance abuse prevention; and working to ensure prevention intervention activities and outcomes continue after funding ends.

  • Community coalition is a union of people and organizations working for a common cause.

  • Community needs and resources assessments examine needs external to the organization and include community readiness, rates of substance use, prevention resources (e.g., call centers and trained counselors), partnerships, community prevention experience, and other monetary and non-monetary resources.

  • Community readiness is the community's level of awareness of, interest in, and ability and willingness to support substance abuse prevention initiatives. More broadly, connotes readiness for changes in community knowledge, attitudes, motives, policies, and actions.

  • Consequences are defined as the social, economic and health problems associated with the use of alcohol and illicit drugs e.g., illnesses related to alcohol (cirrhosis, fetal effects), drug overdose deaths, crime, and car crashes or suicides related to alcohol or drugs.

  • Consumption patterns are the way in which people drink, smoke and use drugs. Consumption includes overall consumption, acute or heavy consumption, consumption in risky situations (e.g., drinking and driving) and consumption by high-risk groups (e.g., youth, college students, and pregnant women).

  • Cultural competence is the attainment of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enable administrators and practitioners to provide for diverse populations. This includes an understanding of that group’s or members’ language, beliefs, norms, and values, as well as socioeconomic and political factors that may have a significant impact on their well-being, and incorporating those variables into programs.

  • Environmental approaches are efforts to establish or change community standards, codes, and attitudes and thus influence incidence and prevalence of substance abuse. Approaches can center on legal and regulatory issues or can relate to service and action-oriented initiatives. Examples include TA to communities to maximize enforcement of laws governing availability and distribution of legal drugs, product pricing strategies, and modification of practices of advertising alcohol and tobacco.

  • Evaluation plans are systematic blueprints detailing all the evaluation aspects of the project including the database structures to manage the project data.

  • Intervening variables are factors that have been identified through research as being strongly related to and influencing the occurrence and magnitude of substance use and related risk behaviors and their subsequent consequences. These variables are the focus of prevention strategies, changes in which are then expected to affect consumption and consequences.

  • Intervention-level evaluation activities are activities to measure the impact and assess the implementation of specific interventions or strategies within the overall set of selected interventions.

  • Interventions are funded activities carried out under the auspices of the SPF SIG grant, and target a variety of subpopulations with the objective of improving substance use outcomes.

  • Key stakeholders are all of the members of the community who have a vested interest (a stake) in the activities or outcomes of a substance abuse intervention.

  • Logic models are graphic depictions of the components of a theory, program, initiative, or activity that shows the program's components and plausible linkages between the program components.

  • Media literacy programs foster the ability to analyze and evaluate messages in the media (e.g., working with children to teach them to evaluate the images and messages in a beer ad).

  • Organizational needs assessments examine an organization’s internal needs and include assessments of leadership, human resources, technical resources (e.g., telephones, computers, or appropriate software), infrastructure (e.g., facility, staff offices, conference rooms), funding sources, etc.

  • Prevention system is the entire set of agencies, organizations, and persons that contribute to efforts to prevent substance abuse and related problems within the community.

  • Primary grantee refers to the administrative entity of a jurisdiction (such as the state, tribe, or territory) receiving SPF SIG funds for delivery of substance abuse prevention programs.

  • Social marketing uses the principles of commercial marketing to develop, implement, and evaluate programs designed to influence the behavior of a target audience. Rather than dictating the way that information is to be conveyed, social marketing involves listening to the needs and desires of the target audience and building the program from there.

  • Strategic plans at a minimum will: specify the priorities that will be targeted; articulate a vision for activities to address needs; describe infrastructure needed to select and implement interventions; identify resources and training requirements; include plans for sustaining the infrastructure and services; and identify milestones and outcomes against which to gauge performance. Strategic plan development is Step 3 of the SPF.

  • Subrecipient communities are the entities (usually community based organizations, schools, or coalitions) that receive funds from the grantee to carry out SPF SIG activities or prevention interventions.

  • Sustainability is the process through which a prevention system becomes a norm and is integrated into ongoing operations. Sustainability is vital to ensuring that prevention values and processes are firmly established, that partnerships are strengthened, and that financial and other resources are secured over the long term.
