Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (SPF-Rx)
Cross-Site Evaluation, Annual Implementation Instrument
Information and Directions
Purpose
The Annual Implementation Instrument collects data annually from primary SPF-Rx grantees and
their subrecipient communities about SPF-Rx implementation, including:
■

Subrecipient communities’ progress through the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF); and

■

The specific prevention interventions being implemented by subrecipient communities and
primary grantees. For SPF-Rx, interventions may be implemented by primary grantees as well
as their community subrecipients.

Subrecipient communities will complete the whole survey, while primary grantees will mainly report
on prevention interventions that they implement. Data collected from the survey will be used to
monitor subrecipient and state, tribal entity, or jurisdiction performance and evaluate the
effectiveness of the Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (SPF-Rx) program
across states, tribal entities, and jurisdictions. The overall goal of the cross-site evaluation is to
document and assess the effectiveness of the SPF-Rx approach to SAMHSA’s mission of
reducing prescription drug misuse and abuse.

Requirements
Completion of this survey is a requirement of accepting funding from CSAP through your state, tribal
entity, or jurisdiction under the SPF-Rx grant initiative.

Organization of the Survey
Make sure to read all of the directions and examples, which are provided in italics. Primary
grantees and subrecipient communities will complete this form once for each Federal fiscal year
(annually). To minimize respondent burden and decrease completion time, this Web-based survey
allows information entered in previous reporting periods to be prefilled where possible and uses skip
patterns to take you automatically to the appropriate question on the basis of your responses.
You will need to complete separate forms related to implementation information for each set of
prevention intervention activities implemented. For example, if your community/jurisdiction
implements both a participant-based education prevention intervention strategy and an
environmental prevention intervention strategy, you will complete implementation information for
both of those interventions. Similarly, if your community implements two different participant-based
prevention education intervention strategies, you will complete implementation information for both
of those interventions.
Information provided in this instrument focuses on communities, so no individuals will be identified in
the reporting of results.
Throughout this instrument, the term “you” refers to the primary SPF-Rx grantee (state/tribal
entity/jurisdiction) or the subrecipient community that has received SPF-Rx funding from the
state/tribal entity/jurisdiction. The SPF-Rx subrecipient community could be an organization,
coalition, or other entity.

Definition of Terms
There are several terms used throughout this instrument for which CSAP provides the definitions on
the following pages. Links to the definitions list can be found on each page of the Web-based
survey.
■

Capacity refers to the quality and/or level of skills (e.g., workforce) and resources needed to
achieve a desired outcome. For SPF-Rx, capacity refers to the demonstrated ability of
subrecipients to implement each SPF step effectively (e.g., implementation of evidence-based
interventions) and the resources (human, organizational, and fiscal) to support the
implementation of the SPF model.

■

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

■

Community refers to the politically or geographically defined area or culturally or
epidemiologically defined target population that the subrecipient chooses for prevention
intervention.

■

Community needs and resources assessments examine needs and resources external to the
organization and include community readiness, rates of prescription drug and opioid misuse,
prevention resources (e.g., call centers, trained implementers), partnerships, community
prevention experience, and other monetary and nonmonetary resources.

■

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

■

Consequences are defined as the social, economic, and health problems associated with
misuse and abuse of prescription drugs—for example, overdoses and deaths related to
prescription drugs.

■

Consumption patterns are the ways in which people misuse prescription drugs.

■

Cultural competence is the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable administrators and
practitioners to provide for diverse or culturally distinct populations. It 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 the ability to
incorporate those variables into interventions.

■

Dosage describes the level of exposure to an intervention, as defined by the number of
sessions, number of media spots, or other measures.

■

Environmental approaches are efforts to establish or change community standards, codes,
and attitudes and thus reduce the incidence and prevalence of prescription drug misuse.
Approaches can center on legal and regulatory issues or can relate to service and actionoriented initiatives. Examples include technical assistance (TA) to communities to increase
health care provider’s use of prescription drug monitoring program data when prescribing opioid
pain medication.

■

Federal fiscal year goes from October 1 through September 30 of the following year.

■

Intervening variables are risk or protective factors that have been identified through research
as being strongly related to and influencing the occurrence and magnitude of prescription drug
misuse and related risk behaviors and their consequences. These variables are the focus of
prevention interventions, changes in which are then expected to affect consumption and
consequences.

Program Evaluation for Prevention Contract (PEP-C) February 2017

SPF-Rx Cross-Site Evaluation, Annual Implementation Instrument

■

In-kind resources include labor that supports the SPF-Rx grant at subsidized or no cost to the
grant or other resources donated to the SPF-Rx grant, such as equipment, supplies, or office
space.

■

Interventions are funded activities carried out under the auspices of the SPF-Rx grant. They
target a variety of subpopulations with the objective of improving outcomes related to
prescription drug and opioid misuse and abuse.

■

Key stakeholders are all the members of the community who have a vested interest (a stake) in
the activities or outcomes of a prescription drug misuse prevention intervention.

■

Leveraging resources is the process of combining SPF-Rx-funded resources with other
resources to augment prevention intervention delivery (i.e., to do more together than with SPFRx resources alone). For example, subrecipients combine SPF-Rx funding with funding from
another source (e.g., CDC Prevention for States) to augment the implementation of their SPF-Rx
intervention. In many instances, leveraging functions through collaborative relationships.

■

Participants are the recipients of the SPF-Rx prevention interventions.

■

Primary grantee or grantee refers to the administrative entity (such as the state, tribal entity, or
jurisdiction) receiving SPF-Rx funds for delivery of prescription drug misuse prevention
interventions.

■

Social marketing uses the principles of commercial marketing to develop, implement, and
evaluate interventions designed to influence the behavior of a target audience.

■

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.

■

Subrecipients are the entities (usually community-based organizations, schools, or coalitions)
that receive funds from the grantee and carry out SPF-Rx 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.

Section 2A. Needs, Target Populations, and Resources Assessments
[GRANTEES SKIP TO QUESTION 7, TARGET POPULATIONS AND OUTCOMES]
Needs Assessment (Subrecipients only)
This section collects information on organizational and community needs and resources
assessments you conducted during this reporting period. You are asked whether or not the needs
and resources of your organization and the community have been assessed. It also provides you
with an opportunity to describe the data you have available and the data you used to conduct your
needs and resources assessment. The section also asks about the consumption patterns,
consequences, intervening variables, and populations you identified to target for your SPF-Rx
activities. Finally, this section includes questions about policies that have been developed that
address health disparities.
5.

Has your organization completed an assessment of community needs and resources during
the past Federal fiscal year? A community needs and resources assessment examines needs
external to the organization and includes community readiness, rates of substance use,
prevention resources (e.g., trained intervention implementers), partnerships, community
prevention experience, and other monetary and nonmonetary resources.E
 Yes
 No

Data Sources (Subrecipients only)
This set of questions asks about the availability of community-level prescription drug-related data for
data-driven planning (e.g., needs assessments, identifying priority issues and intervening variables
to target, performance monitoring). We want you to focus on local-level data that are available to
your subrecipient community.
Under each of the categories Consumption, Consequence, and Intervening Variables, list the
data sources, including local surveys and administrative data collection systems, that are currently
available for your subrecipient community.

Indicate the population(s) you will be focusing on for your SPF-Rx prevention activities. In the
first column, we would like to know if you have very specific groups of people at whom your
prevention interventions will be aimed. For example, if you are delivering a prevention
intervention to all middle schools in an area, then you would select only “middle school
students”; you would not have to select all the possible race/ethnicity categories that might be
enrolled in the schools. If, however, you are delivering a prevention intervention specifically
designed to target high-school-age Latinos, then you would select Hispanic and high school
students. (Note: If you are targeting the whole community or jurisdiction, then choose that
answer option [9.1], and do not check all the subpopulations.)
In the second column, check any specific subpopulation your SPF-Rx prevention activities
are focused on to reduce prescription drug misuse-related behavioral health disparities.

Section 2B. Capacity Building and Sustainability (Subrecipients only)
In this section, we ask you about your activities related to capacity and sustainability. Capacity refers
to the quality and level of skills (e.g., workforce) and resources needed to achieve a desired
outcome. For SPF-Rx, capacity refers to the demonstrated ability of subrecipients to effectively
implement each SPF step (i.e., assess needs, build capacity, plan, implement, and evaluate) and the
resources (human, organizational, and fiscal) to support the implementation of the SPF model.
Capacity building refers to activities conducted to improve the ability of an organization or community
to deliver prescription drug misuse prevention services, such as improving organizational resources,
seeking and receiving relevant training and technical assistance (T/TA), building new relationships or
strengthening existing relationships among groups and organizations involved in prescription drug
misuse prevention, and ensuring that prevention intervention activities and outcomes continue after
SPF-Rx funding ends.

Current Capacity (Subrecipients only)

This section collects information about the prevention interventions you selected for implementation
in your service area. A prevention intervention is an activity or set of activities to which a group or
community is exposed to change their behavior. For SPF-Rx, these activities should aim to prevent
or lower the rate of prescription drug misuse and abuse and related problems. Interventions include
activities related to community-based processes (e.g., holding meetings or training with community
members, reallocating funds for prevention in the community, reorganizing local agencies and
organizations to address prescription drug misuse prevention), prevention education, alternative
activities, problem identification and referral, environmental strategies (e.g., training of environmental
influencers, policy change, enforcement), and information dissemination and other communication
activities (e.g., raising community awareness, conducting social marketing campaigns). Refer to the
Annual Implementation Instrument manual for more information.

For Questions 32.1 through 32.7, indicate the locations and population of focus being served
by this prevention intervention-service type. You are required to include ZIP codes
(Question 32.4) for all locations being served by this prevention intervention-service type. For
Question 32.4, if your target population is the entire state or county, you may enter
“statewide” or “county-wide,” (along with the name of the county in Question 32.3). If you are
implementing in separate settings (e.g., schools, workplaces), list each setting separately.
(Note: If you are implementing a media campaign that reaches the whole county, you may
enter “county-wide” for location (Question 32.1).)
Use one line to describe each location served by the intervention-service type. Other than ZIP
code (Question 32.4) and estimated target population (Question 32.7), you need to complete
only those categories that are appropriate for this prevention intervention-service type and
community served.E (autofill after first completed)

target population of the intervention strategy is likely smaller than the total population in the community. For
example, if 10,000 individuals live in the area (total population), but only 3,000 of those are in the target 12- to 20year-old age group for this prevention intervention strategy, your estimated target population is 3,000. If your target
population for this prevention intervention strategy is more specific (e.g., Hispanic high school students or non-college
