Program Description: ASAP provides substance abuse screening, case management, and accountability for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and other alcohol/drug-related misdemeanor cases. This involves screening cases referred from the district court into drinker classification categories, as well as thoroughly monitoring cases throughout education and/or treatment requirements. ASAP operates as a neutral link between the justice and health care delivery systems. This requires a close working relationship among all involved agencies: enforcement, prosecution, judicial, probation, corrections, rehabilitation, licensing, traffic records, and public information/education. The benefits of ASAP monitoring include: •Increased accountability of offenders. •Reduced recidivism resulting from successful completion of required education or treatment. •Significant reductions in the amount of resources spent by prosecutors, law enforcement officers, judges, attorneys, and corrections officers enforcing court-ordered conditions. •Increased safety for victims and the larger community; offenders are more likely to receive treatment, make court appearances, and comply with other probation conditions. Much like the adult program, the Juvenile Alcohol Safety Action Program (JASAP) receives referrals for those under age 18 who have three or more minor possession or consuming offenses, or who have a driving under the influence (DUI) type offense. In Alaska, ASAP is an integral part of the criminal justice and behavioral health care service systems, providing invaluable and necessary monitoring and tracking of clients referred to substance abuse services throughout the state. Five probation officers and five community grantees handle traditional adult misdemeanor ASAP referrals; an additional seven community grantees are funded to handle juvenile cases. In addition to the Anchorage office, adult and juvenile grant programs are located in Fairbanks, Juneau, Kenai/Homer, Kotzebue, and Wasilla/Palmer. Juvenile-only programs are located in Anchorage, Dillingham, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Seward, Nome, and Bethel. The ASAP program provides a standardized statewide network of alcohol screening and case management for cases referred by the criminal justice system. It offers a consistent process to ensure that clients complete required substance abuse education or treatment programs as prescribed by the courts. The ASAP programs, including the Anchorage office, monitor these cases to confirm with the court and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when clients have completed court-ordered assignments. In FY 2010, the ASAP program incorporated motivational interviewing (MI), an evidence-based practice, as a model for increasing the engagement of clients during their first encounter with ASAP staff. Through the use of MI-styled interviews, the expected outcome is that clients will be motivated to change their personal behaviors and attitudes related to alcohol and drug use, thereby increasing their completion and success rates following the receipt of required services. Grantees are also responsible for engaging their community prevention coalition and for being involved in ASAP program outreach and education efforts in schools, community forums, and other appropriate venues.

Program Description: ADIS programs provide education to first-time DWI and Minor Consuming offenders, as well as those convicted of other alcohol/drug-related offenses if those persons would not be diagnosed as a substance abuser. ADIS programs aim to reduce subsequent alcohol- and/or drug-related offenses and associated high-risk behaviors. ADIS programs cover the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving and social behaviors, as well as health and legal consequences. Each ADIS program conforms to the same standards and is approved and monitored by the Division of Behavioral Health. These programs are designed to be available to all Alaskans involved in alcohol- and/or drug-related offenses. Each Adult or Youth ADIS program uses an identical core curriculum that combines the most recent research in early intervention and prevention. Each program includes regionally specific information and is designed to be relevant to all segments of Alaska’s diverse population while ensuring uniformity of the core ADIS program content statewide. The adult program uses a core curriculum developed by the Change Company and the State of Alaska. Adult ADIS programs are appropriate for all adults over age 18.

Program Description: The youth program, PRIME for Life-Under 21, is similar to the ADIS course but was developed by the Prevention Research Institute (PRI) and is used for individuals between 14 and not yet 21 years old. There are two providers for this program: Volunteers of America Alaska and the Alaska Native Justice Center (ANJC). The numbers below reflect their combined information. Approximately 90 percent of all of the cases referred to the ANJC community diversion panel program are required to take our PFL-Under 21 class. ANJC uses the PFL course to educate clients on the dangers of alcoholism and drug addiction. ANJC is the only state-certified program approved to administer this class with a cultural component added to it. PFL is a nationally recognized Best Practices therapeutic educational risk reduction model that is recognized by the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). ANJC enhances the PFL experience with a “talking circle,” a culturally based component that identifies and celebrates the cultural values of the indigenous Alaska people.

Program Description: The grant program funds a comprehensive array of promotion, prevention, and early intervention approaches that focus on community-designed and community-driven services. These services are based on concepts and program strategies that have proven to be effective in the prevention of behavioral health concerns. These grant dollars “blend, braid, and pool” resources and programming concepts into an integrated approach to behavioral health prevention. The program is aware that substance abuse, mental health, suicide, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, family violence, juvenile delinquency, and other issues are interrelated. Consequently, one of the program’s goals is for communities to have the freedom to connect these issues, to partner and collaborate with community members working on connected and related issues, and to focus on what it will take to develop overall community health and wellness. Agencies throughout the state receive funding through this grant program in remote or rural, as well as hub and urban, communities. Each community applying for these funds must use the SAMHSA CSAP Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) planning model to assess, plan, strategize, implement, and evaluate community-based services. Prevention strategies must be identified based on a clear assessment of local/regional data, selecting programs or practices that are data driven. This model promotes a better connection between program selection and the critical issues facing the community, as evidenced by the available data.

Program Description: Alaska currently funds this underage drinking prevention campaign, operated by the Alaska Wellness Coalition (AWC). The AWC is a statewide coalition, representing rural and urban communities across the entire state. The goal of the program is to conduct a coordinated media campaign to reduce underage drinking that accounts for messages and efforts at the local, state, and federal level. The campaign will focus on evidence-based environmental prevention strategies to change social norms regarding youth alcohol. Using this approach, the Coalition will maximize communication, outcomes, and economic use of resources while at the same time reducing duplicate and ineffective approaches. To prevent underage drinking, the Media Campaign will employ a strengths-based approach utilizing the positive community norms model. It will begin a long-term dialogue with the public that increases parent and youth understanding of the social norms surrounding underage drinking as well as educate both youth and adults across Alaska, cultivating a culture that decreases underage drinking and delays the early onset of alcohol use. The AWC plans to launch the campaign in 2014 and continue community conversations and the media campaign for a minimum of 3 years. Although this is a statewide campaign, the media components will be designed so that local coalitions can include regional data and messages into the overall campaign format; local tags and information can be included to maximize reach effectiveness. The campaign will be designed to reach multiple target audiences, including youth and adults. As a party to the media campaign, coalitions will continue their work at strengthening laws and regulations aiming to reduce and prevent underage drinking. Where legislation is enacted and/or enforcement strengthened, the campaign will strive to include education in these areas within the media plan. Where possible, the media campaign will be used to energize the population around the state and to promote policy changes designed to further reduce opportunities for underage drinking.

Program Description: In 1998, Congress acknowledged the seriousness of underage drinking and related problems by appropriating funding to encourage the enforcement of underage drinking laws throughout the country. The EUDL program was established to support and enhance the efforts of state and local jurisdictions to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages by minors (defined as under age 21). EUDL’s strategic goal is to reduce the availability of alcoholic beverages to minors. The initiative includes four programmatic elements: (1) block grants to each state and the District of Columbia to fund the establishment of a statewide taskforce and innovative programs to prevent underage drinking with a strong emphasis on law enforcement; (2) discretionary grants to selected states to fund enhanced activities at the local level; and (3) technical assistance to guide states and communities in their efforts; and (4) national evaluation of the EUDL program. Although EUDL funding supports a wide range of activities, most states focus on enforcement. EUDL funding has also helped states promote community awareness of underage drinking, encourage changes in norms regarding underage drinking, and develop organizational structures and relationships to support coordinated efforts.
