1 111 Priority: (B) Key Data Findings Regarding alcohol related issues such as drinking and driving, alcohol abuse by persons age 21+, and alcohol use among those under age 21, adults in the St. Cloud Metro area have a higher degree of concern about these issues than adults in the greater Stearns County area. Stearns County adult males are more likely to binge drink than Stearns County adult females. Males were five times more likely to have binge drank 7 or more times within the past 30 day period than females. One third of all Stearns County adults drank at least one alcoholic beverage on three or more days in the past 30 days. Within the past 30 days, 6.5% of Stearns County adults have gotten in their car and driven when they thought that they perhaps had too much to drink. The age category to most likely drive when they have had too much to drink is in the category of age Males are also more likely to drink and drive than females. Between 2007 and 2010, alcohol use by sixth graders increased, yet it decreased for the 9 th and 12 th graders. More Stearns County sixth graders reported drinking in the last 30 days compared to their peers across the state. 8% of Stearns County ninth graders in 2010 reported binge drinking behaviors in the last two weeks. In 2010 in Stearns County, 12.5% of six graders; 7% of 9th graders and 6 % of 12th graders who reported drinking, identified that their first drink of alcohol took place at age 10 or younger. Stearns County youth access their alcohol from multiple places. Most frequently they get it from friends, family, or at parties, secondly they take it from home or other places, and least frequently they purchase it. 9 th graders take it from home more often than 12 th graders. All ages most frequently access their alcohol from friends or at parties. In 2010, 20% of Stearns County 12 th graders identified driving after using either alcohol or drugs. In 2010, 15% of 9th graders and over 30% (almost 1/3) of all 12th graders report having ridden with a friend who may have been impaired with alcohol or drugs. Thirty three percent (33%) of the males and 27% of the females at 12th grade report their parents would not care or would approve of their use of alcohol, as opposed to 10% of both males and females at the 9 th grade level. [need source Stearns County, MN, or nationwide students???] From 2008 through 2012, Stearns County had a steady increase of fatal car crashes with blood alcohol level above the legal limit. From 2008 through 2012, Stearns County has consistently had over 400 gross misdemeanor DWIs filed in court. In 2012, Stearns County spent over a half a million dollars for detox services at the detox center at the Central Minnesota Mental Health Center.
2 112 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan Data GRAPH B1: ADULT ALCOHOL RELATED CONCERNS Percent Frequency In Stearns County, Alcohol Related Concerns identified by adults as moderate or serious problems (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey, February 2013) Stearns County all Greater Stearns St. Cloud Metro 10 0 Drinking and Driving Alcohol Abuse 21+ Alcohol Abuse 21 and less This graph shows where alcohol related concerns ranked in priority. While drinking and driving ranked in the top 10 of the overall concerns for all of Stearns County, this concern ranked higher in those who live in the St. Cloud area versus those in the greater parts of Stearns County. Also, concerns related to alcohol abuse for Residents again were listed as a greater concern in the metro parts of Stearns than in the Rural communities.
3 113 GRAPH B2: ADULT FEMALE BINGE DRINKING Considering all types of alcoholic beverages, how many times during the past 30 days did Stearns County adult females have 4 or more drinks on one occasion? (Considered binge drinking) (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey, February 2013) 100.0% 80.0% 60.0% 63.3% 40.0% 20.0% 0.0% 33.7% 2.0% 1.0% 0 times 1 3 times 4 6 times 7+ times Four or more drinks on one occasion fits within the definition of binge drinking for females. While not a large difference between males and females when it comes to binge drinking, we do see an approximately 10 percentage point difference. This 10 percentage points gets split evenly between the other three categories, making males much more likely to binge drink than females. Of those females who did report binge drinking not quite 40% report doing this one (1) time or more per month. Only 1% reported more than 7 times per month compared to the males of which over 5% reported this behavior.
4 114 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B3: ADULT BINGE DRINKING 80.0% Considering all types of alcoholic beverages, how many times during the past 30 days did Stearns County adult males have 5 or more drinks on one occasion? (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey, February 2013) 60.0% 53.9% 40.0% 36.0% 20.0% 4.6% 5.5% 0.0% 0 times 1 3 times 4 6 times 7+ times 5 or more drinks in the last 30 days fits within the definition of binge drinking for men. According to the survey, almost ½ (46.1%) of the respondents indicated they identified at least once during the past 30 days they had engaged in this risk factor. Over 10% of the respondents report having participated in this behavior four (4) or more times with over ½ of those (5.5%) reporting seven (7) or more times in a month. This compares to 1% of women reporting binge drinking behaviors.
5 115 GRAPH B4: ADULT ANY ALCOHOL 80.0% During the past 30 days, on how many days did Stearns County adults have at least one drink of any alcoholic beverage? (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey 2013) 68.4% 60.0% 40.0% 20.0% 0.0% 23.4% 6.5% 1.7% 1 2 days 3 4 days 5 6 days 7+ days The above graph outlines the number of days in the past 30 days respondents report having at least one drink. Of those who responded to this the majority (68.4%) reported only 1 2 days per month. However, almost 1/3 of the respondents (31.6%) report 3 or more days. While it is not known how many drinks this involves, we know from previous responses that several of the days likely involves binge drinking behaviors.
6 116 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B5: ADULT DRINKING AND DRIVING During the past 30 days, how many times have Stearns County adults driven when they ve had perhaps too much to drink? (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey, February 2013) 100.0% 93.5% 80.0% 60.0% 40.0% 20.0% 0.0% 3.8% 1.1% 1.6% 0 times 1 times 2 times 3+ times While any numbers in this category are not good for public health, and are cause for concern in the county, almost 94% of people do not believe they have driven when they have had too much to drink. Yet, this means that 6.5% have gotten into their cars and have driven while possibly intoxicated. Education and community norm is clear that this is not an acceptable behavior. More education will only go so far, and may help keep more and more people from getting behind the wheel but more still needs to be happening to prevent this high risk behavior from occurring.
7 117 GRAPH B6: DRINKING AND DRIVING BY AGE 100.0% 90.0% During the past 30 days, how many times have Stearns County adults driven when they ve had perhaps too much to drink broken down by age (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey, February 2013) 3.4% 3.9% 4.5% 2.8% 0.5% 5.6% 80.0% 70.0% 92.1% 93.3% 93.9% 100.0% 3+ times 2 times 1 time 60.0% 0 times 50.0% When breaking drunk driving data down by age group, we see a very similar percentage of people who haven t driven drunk in the past 30 days up through 70 years old. Respondents above 70 years old reported to never do this. The breakdown within age groups is very different between the three age groups. We see the only age group with a population claiming to have driven drunk 3 or more times being 31 50, and almost 4% reported doing it that often.
8 118 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B7: ADULT DRINKING AND DRIVING BY GENDER 100.0% 90.0% During the past 30 days, how many times have Stearns County adults driven when they've perhaps had too much to drink broken down by gender (Source: Central Minnesota Community Health Survey, February 2013) 2.8% 1.8% 1.9% 0.5% 0.3% 5.9% 93.5% 93.3% 3+ times 2 times 1 time 0 times 80.0% Male Female When looking at males and females in this topic, we see almost no difference between those who reported not drinking and driving at all. It s the breakdown in frequency between males and females that s interesting. Almost all females who responded did drive after having too much to drink one time in the past 30 days, where the largest percentage of males who reported driving while drunk, did so at least 3 times in the past 30 days.
9 119 GRAPH B8: YOUTH ALCOHOL USE WITH PAST 12 MONTHS Source: Minnesota Student Survey, 2007 & 2010 Data taken from the Minnesota Student Survey Data shows that the number of students reporting one or more drinks in the past 12 months decreased in both the 9 th and 12 th grade respondents but increased consistently in the 6 th grade respondents. This is in comparison to the Minnesota aggregated data where in each age group, there was a decrease in reported drinks in last 12 months.
10 120 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B9: YOUTH ALCOHOL USE WITHIN PAST 30 DAYS Source: Minnesota Student Survey, These data show a decrease in the number of Stearns County youth reporting one or more drinks in the past 30 days consistently except in the 6 th grade respondents from 2007 to 2010 reporting where it increased from 3.5 % to 5 %. This is in comparison to the data at the state level in which a consistent decrease was noted across all ages. It also should be noted that the Stearns County 6 th grade data is higher in comparison to the state; 5% compared to 3.5% respectively. More 6 th Graders in Stearns County in 2010 reported drinking in the last 30 days compared to their peers across the state. Other grade data comparatively between Stearns and the State in other ages (9 th and 12 th grades) is relatively close with 9 th graders slightly higher than the state.
11 121 GRAPH B10: YOUTH BINGE DRINKING Source: Minnesota Student Survey, These data show a consist reduction in 9 th and 12 th graders reporting 5 or more drinks (the definition of binge drinking for males) in the last two week as well as a lower than the state average percent. However, it still shows that 8% of 9 th graders in 2010 reported binge drinking behaviors in the last two weeks a risk factor for chronic drinking in the future.
12 122 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B11: YOUTH AGE OF FIRST DRINK, 2007 & 2010 Source: Minnesota Student Survey, 2007 & 2010 These data outline the age of first drink not including instances that may be related to a religious ceremony. These data show that in % of six graders; 7% of 9 th graders and 6 % of 12 th graders who reported drinking, identified that their first drink of alcohol took place at age 10 or younger. This is higher than the state percent for each of these grades except the 9 th graders. For Stearns County youth, each age group decreased from 2007 to 2010 except the 6 th graders which increased. Similar changes were noted in Stearns County youth at the other age levels identified. These data show a trend in younger aged children engaging in using alcohol.
13 123 GRAPH B12: YOUTH ACCESS TO ALCOHOL, 2013 Sources of alcohol for Stearns County 9th Graders by gender (Source: Minnesota Student Survey, 2013) 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 1% 2% 6% 0% 5% 4% 1% 0% 31% 39% 13% 21% 10% 20% 18% 22% 31% 40% 37% 22% 14% 8% 4% 1% 9th Grade 2013 Male 9th Grade 2013 Female When students were asked where they received alcohol from if they had consumed it within the last 30 days, the students could give multiple responses, and this graph shows the percentage in each category broken down between males and females (which is the default reporting method of the Student Survey results). These numbers across the board are significantly lower than when this same question was asked over the past 9 years of surveying, specifically those students who reported getting it from friends of theirs, down 20 percentage points in both males and females from 2007 (51% and 60% respectively).
14 124 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B13: YOUTH NINTH GRADE ACCESS TO ALCOHOL, Source: Minnesota Student Survey, Graphs B13 and B14 show the percent of students in 9 th and 12 th grade who identified how they obtained alcohol if they reported using in the past 30 days. Slight differences between male and female can be seen but even more interesting is that in most instances, the alcohol was obtained by someone else for the youth; particularly the older the student got. More 9 th Graders reported taking the alcohol from the home setting than their counter parts at grade 12. However, more 12 th grade students reported getting it from friends than did their peers at 9 th grade.
15 125 GRAPH B14: YOUTH TWELFTH GRADE ACCESS TO ALCOHOL, Source: Minnesota Student Survey, Graphs B13 and B14 show the percent of students in 9 th and 12 th grade who identified how they obtained alcohol if they reported using in the past 30 days. Slight differences between male and female can be seen but even more interesting is that in most instances, the alcohol was obtained by someone else for the youth; particularly the older the student got. More 9 th Graders reported taking the alcohol from the home setting than their counter parts at grade 12. However, more 12 th grade students reported getting it from friends than did their peers at 9 th grade.
16 126 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B15: YOUTH DRINKING AND DRIVING Source: Minnesota Student Survey, This graph outlines how many times youth in 9 th and 12 th grade have driven a vehicle after they used alcohol or drugs. Stearns County is about at the state average for both age groups. Each year, the numbers have decreased but there are still over 20% of 12 th graders identifying driving after using either alcohol or drugs.
17 127 GRAPH B16: YOUTH RIDING WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS DRIVING AFTER DRINKING Source: Minnesota Student Survey, Graph B16 is different than Graph B15. It identifies the risk factor of riding with a friend after use. In all cases, Stearns County youth are at about the state average with decreases consistently each year. However, it is still concerning that around 15% of 9 th graders and over 30% (almost 1/3) of all 12 th graders report having ridden with a friend who may have been impaired with alcohol or drugs.
18 128 Stearns County CHIP, Community Health Improvement Plan GRAPH B17: YOUTH PARENTS PERCEPTION OF YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE How do you think your parents/guardian would feel if you used alcohol, marijuana or illegal drugs Male 6-Fe 9-Male 9-Fe 12-Male 12-Fe Approve/Not Care-Alcohol Approve/Not Care-Marijuana Approve/Not Care-Illegal drugs Source: [need source] Was this a survey of Stearns County, MN, or nationwide students This graph speaks to the youth s perception of parental concerns related to alcohol versus drug use. Consistently, youth feel parents would not approve of their use of illegal drugs with Marijuana following closely regardless of age. Yet, there is a drastic difference, particularly at 12 th grader, as it relates to alcohol use. Thirty three percent (33%) of the males and 27% of the females at 12 th grade report their parents would not care or would approve of their use of alcohol compared to 4% marijuana use for males and 6% females

None of these data reflect the percent of possible at risk populations such as homeless, LGBTQ, race; nor any related to rural compared to urban or education disparities.
