Attachment 4:

Proposed Revisions to Drug-Free Communities Progress Report and Core Measures


Summary of Proposed Changes to the

Drug-Free Communities Progress Report


We have proposed a change to move to annual reporting for Drug-Free Communities (DFC) recipients (reducing from two reports each year to one report each year. The online system provides supports to allow coalitions to add data throughout the year to support their annual report. In addition, for those who prefer, the National Evaluation Team has developed an excel file macro where coalitions can track their implementation data and then generate a summary report for inclusion in the annual progress report.


In addition to the shift to annual reporting, the following is a summary of proposed item changes included in this document: 

  1. Modified wording of various items to clarify language, align with CADCA, CDC, or ONDCP preferred language, or split items to differentiate between previously combined responses.

  1. Added items:

    1. Added a section on diversity and equity. This built on prior questions reflecting who coalitions focus activities on being appropriate for to more broadly understand coalition efforts to address local health equity issues. This is in line with CDC and ONDCP expectations around health equity and includes open-text sections for coalitions to describe efforts. Coalitions indicating not currently working to address health equity will not be required to answer additional questions.

    2. Revised the section on Risk and Protective Factors. The list now includes a broader range of potential risk and protective factors and there is better alignment between the two. For each factor, coalitions will be asked the extent the factor is in the community and then to indicate if they engaged in efforts to address/enhance the factor in the community. That is, some factors may be an issue, but the coalition is not working on, while others may be both. This better aligns this section of the report with the broad range of factors that have been associated with substance use. In addition, work on risk and protective factors generally has suggested the importance of both identifying factors and then clarifying which factors are being focused on to potentially impact outcomes.1 This section also provides opportunity for coalitions to share description of their efforts in this area.

    3. Items added for grant monitoring purposes to assist Project Officers in their role of monitoring the grant:

      1. Information to identify Key Personnel assigned to more than one coalition to assess effort in each.

      2. Added questions to link implementation activities to action plans and for coalitions to assess progress on action plans throughout the strategy implementation section of the report.

    4. Local evaluation efforts: items revised to better understand what efforts coalitions are engaged in locally rather than only broad items indicating effort.

    5. Emerging Drug Threats: Deleted yes/no items and instead integrated into strategy implementation. In addition, a new section was added where coalitions can self-identify new emerging drug threats as they arise (beyond opioids/methamphetamine and vaping sections that already exist.

    6. Additional Open-Text fields: Throughout report, coalitions have opportunities to describe efforts.

    7. Data Management Plans: This section may be built as part of Progress Report or as a separate report in the system. Coalitions are required as grant recipients to assess need for a data management plan and to provide a plan if needed. This provides supports to recipients in meeting this requirement.

  2. Deleted items (identified by red font):

  1. Items on ranking strategies removed and replaced with items to better understand innovation by strategy type.

  1. Removed item asking about use of STOP Act funds to support strategy implementation as this data was not utilized.

  1. DFC Progress Report: Deleted items in section on local drug crisis opioids/methamphetamine asking if yes/no engaged in strategy and instead included in examples of strategy type and/or added strategy type within the strategy implementation section. These items retained in CARA progress report.

  2. Items on coalition technical assistance and support needs were merged with items deleted based on low indication of need previously.

  1. Core Measures Updates: Core measure primarily have modified wording, but we have also added an option to collect past year use for heroin and methamphetamine.

Then, in the Progress Report Community & Population Level Outcomes Section, click the box next to the name of your core measures report to attach the measures to the progress report.

You must submit the survey used to collect the data that you are submitting in order to be able to submit core measure data. You will receive a survey review guide from the DFC National Evaluation team once their review of your survey is complete. Be sure to leave adequate time prior to core measure data submission to complete this step in the process. Surveys can be submitted at any time. Your survey review guide provides you with information on what data the grant award recipient is expected to submit (which core measures have been approved for which substances) as well as guidance on how to calculate percentage use. For substances labeled as Optional, data may be submitted if available but are not required. Core measure recommended wording is provided at the end of this document.

Core Measure Items Wording

The following is the recommended wording for each of the core measure items, in place since 2012. DFC coalitions submit surveys for review to ensure they are collecting each given core measure item. For example, many DFC coalitions collect past 30-day prevalence of use by asking the number of days (0 to 30) in the past 30 days the youth used the given substance. Any use is counted as “yes,” and therefore the data are approved to be submitted.

  • Propose change to make it clear that marijuana use includes edibles/vaping in marijuana items (any delivery of marijuana). Note that coalitions with existing data will be encouraged to continue to collect data in same manner over time.

  • Replaced parent with parent/caregiver/guardian (Coalitions may also make this clear in directions)

Table A.1. Core Measure Items Recommended Wording (2012 to Present)

Past 30-Day Prevalence of Use

Yes

No

During the past 30 days did you drink one or more drinks of an alcoholic beverage?

During the past 30 days did you smoke part or all of a cigarette?

During the past 30 days have you used marijuana or hashish? (e.g., smoked, vaped, edibles)

During the past 30 days have you used prescription drugs not prescribed to you?

PAST Year (12-Month) Use


During the past year (past 12-months) have you used heroin?

Yes

No


During the past year (past 12-months) have you used methamphetamines?

Yes

No

Perception of Risk


No risk

Slight risk

Moderate risk

Great risk

How much do you think people risk harming themselves physically or in other ways when they have five or more drinks of an alcoholic beverage once or twice a week?
