1 2012 Drug Impact Index Creating safer youth and a safer community through cooperative drug prevention strategies

2 Drug Impact Index Even beyond the often devastating consequences for the individuals involved, severe mental health and substance abuse disorders cost the economy some $ billion in total spending each year and 1,675,582 permanent jobs. Finding ways to reduce these negative effects is clearly a worthy goal. (The Perryman Group, ) The Drug Impact Index profiles local substance abuse trends as early as 2002 and continuing through the most recent available data. It relies on archival data collected at the local level. In addition to specific drug abuse trends, the index contains information about issues that are directly and indirectly related to substance use and abuse, such as HIV/AIDS, sexually-transmitted diseases, crime, family violence, school dropouts, teen mothers, and substance abuse treatment. This project issues a call to action, asking our communities to act now and work to reduce the incidence and impact of alcohol and other drug abuse. The Drug Impact Index was developed by The Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and the Dallas Area Drug Prevention Partnership, with support from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Drug Free Communities Support Program. Dallas Area Drug Prevention Partnership The Dallas Area Drug Prevention Partnership (DADPP) was established in to address growing concern about heroin overdose deaths among our communities youth. Since then, it has expanded its mission and is dedicated to reducing the incidence and impact of all drugs in the greater Dallas area. The Partnership represents a collaborative effort that is based on the simple premise that local people are in the best position to solve specific local problems and change is most likely to occur when the process engages many sectors of a community in a cooperative approach. More than 150,000 Dallas area teens abused alcohol or drugs in. Our goal is to decrease that by 50,000 teens by The coalition is made up of concerned citizens, law enforcement personnel, educators, substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals, health care providers, government officials, faith-based organizations, youth, and other area coalitions targeting youth. Together they facilitate accurate data collection, educate youth, parents and the community, promote healthy media messages, and conduct community outreach. The Dallas Area Drug Prevention Partnership implements environmental strategies that are aimed at population-level change and seek to (1) limit youth access to alcohol and other drugs, (2) change the culture and contexts within which decisions about substance use are made, and (3) reduce the prevalence of negative consequences associated with substance use. These environmental strategies create community-wide change by challenging perceptions and increasing substance abuse awareness.

30 Change Log and Notes from Indexes In addition to adding the most recent data, the following changes or corrections were made when the index was updated for & P5 - Sexually Transmitted Diseases The 2010 Index numbers for syphillis for all years reported have been replaced with the correct numbers for Dallas County. P9 - Estimated Population In the 2010 Index, the population number listed was the estimated adult population of in P21 - Primary Drugs at Time of Admission (Adult and Juvenile) With the change of DSHS reporting systems from BHIPS to CMBHS, the categorization of drugs has been changed. Major changes of note: all types of cocaine are now listed as Cocaine, heroin and other synthetic opiates are all combined under Heroin/Opiates, and a new classification called Polysubstance has been added which refers to admissions with multiple drug dependencies with no primary. Also due to the change in reporting systems for admissions, the number of admissions decreased drastically in This is likely due to a change in the way admissions are tracked in the new system throughout the year and the process of adjusting to a new system of reporting. Admission rates for appear to be returning to more comprable levels.
