Information and Directions

This instrument is designed to collect information about the activities of the community partners for the Strategic Prevention Framework -State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Initiative. This information will be collected every 6 months, with a select number of questions being asked only once throughout the life of the grant.

The CLI is designed as a two-part survey. Part I collects data about the community’s progress through the strategic prevention framework. Part II collects information about the specific intervention(s) being implemented by the community. The community will complete a separate Part II form for each intervention implemented. For example, if the community is implementing both a participant-based education intervention and an environmental intervention, they will complete two Part II forms. Data collected from the survey will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Strategic Prevention Framework.

Completion of this survey is a requirement of accepting funding from CSAP under the SPF SIG grant initiative. However, respondents may choose not to answer a specific question and respondents may end the survey at any time. Each community partner will be assigned a unique numerical identification. This identification will be used to ensure that communities cannot be identified. In addition, no individuals will be identified in the reporting of results.

Items 1 to 11 are to be answered by the state SPF SIG reviewer. If the state is conducting the community level evaluation, questions 41 through 44 in Part II, on evaluation outcomes, will also be completed by the state. The remaining questions are to be answered by the community partner.

Make sure to read all of the directions and examples, which are provided in italics.

Directions for skipping questions are indicated where appropriate to minimize the time needed to complete the questionnaire. This web-based survey is designed to automatically take you to the appropriate question, but you should still follow the directions closely.

Throughout this instrument, words that are underlined are hyperlinked to a list of definitions. In addition, if you click here you can access SAMHSA’s prevention glossary. (Web programming note: include link to: http://preventionplatform.samhsa.gov/MacroHQ/Glossary2/dssglossary.cfm?sect_id=1&topic_id=99&CFID=261427&CFTOKEN=54631918 .)

Throughout this document, the term “you” refers to the community partner that has received SPF SIG funding from the state. This could be an organization, coalition, or other entity. If this community partner is a community coalition, the Project Director for the SPF SIG project is required to complete the instrument, with input from other coalition members as needed.

You are strongly encouraged to obtain input from others involved with the SPF SIG funded project. Each section of the instrument includes a list of individuals whom you may want to consider asking to assist you in this data collection process. As part of this process, we encourage you to print out a hard copy of the instrument and review it with key individuals, such as the project coordinator, evaluator, intervention delivery staff, and others, as appropriate.

Prior to completing the survey, you may find it helpful to gather the following materials to help answer questions:

• Budgets

• Results of needs/resources assessments

• Strategic plans

• Meeting minutes

• Memorandums of understanding

• Intervention implementation materials (curricula, programs, etc.)

• Evaluation findings/reports

• Policies regarding cultural competence

As you enter your data, you will be able to save your work and come back to it at another time. You may also write your responses to the narrative response questions in advance using a word processor and copy and paste them into the web-based survey.

If you need assistance in completing this instrument, contact Shelly Kowalczyk at (301) 587-1600 or via e-mail at skowalczyk@mayatech.com

Strategic Prevention Framework

Each component of the Strategic Prevention Framework (needs assessment, capacity building, strategic plan development, intervention implementation, and evaluation) is addressed in this section. You will have the opportunity to describe your activities within each of the five components of the framework.

People you may want to include in responding to this section:

• Project Director

• Project Coordinator

• Intervention delivery staff

• Evaluator

For questions 32 and 33 below, indicate which of the five steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework you worked on during this reporting period and indicate the approximate percentage of time you spent on this component during this reporting period. If you are responding as a community coalition, estimate the amount of time members of the coalition, collectively, spent on a particular component of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). Make sure the percentage of time spent on each component adds up to 100%. For example, if all of your time this reporting period was spent conducting the needs assessment, you would respond that 100% of your time was for needs assessment. If you divided your time equally between all five components, you would respond that you spent 20% of your time on each component. We understand that you probably spent some amount of time on administrative tasks that are not technically part of one of the SPF components; however we are not capturing that information here. (Select all that apply and indicate a percentage. Total should equal 100%.)

Contextual Factors

Contextual factors are conditions that exist outside the scope of the intervention activities, but nevertheless influence the SPF process and intervention delivery. While you can incorporate knowledge of these factors into your planning and interventions (Web programming note: definition link), they typically cannot be changed through intervention activities. Understanding the nature of contextual factors, however, is still helpful in evaluating the success of the intervention (Web programming note: definition link). For purposes of the cross-site evaluation, contextual factors are categorized by demographic factors (Web programming note: definition link), cultural factors (Web programming note: definition link), community factors (Web programming note: definition link), and environmental/systems factors (Web programming note: definition link).
