This workshop will focus on electronic means of data collection and coalition evaluation. It will feature the SAFE IMPACT project, where SAFE youth coalition members use geographic information systems (GIS), to map substance use prevention activities completed around their community in the SAFE IMPACT Map. The SAFE IMPACT Map helps SAFE in Northern Michigan monitor and evaluate youth programs. The information from the SAFE IMPACT map is then shared to the IMPACT Dashboard, which includes invaluable information about current activities, the outcome of each activity, and the changes to community health indicators over time. SAFE in Northern Michigan measures outcomes across 16 youth led activities and 20 indicators. This criteria measures the actual achievements against set goals and program aims. Presented by Susan Pulaski, Project Director for SAFE in Northern Michigan, and Community Health Coordinator II with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. August 24, 2021

Coalitions are change agents and have endless opportunities to grow and sustain new partnerships to improve the systems of prevention in their communities. With any systems change effort we must effectively communicate with our stakeholders to promote what we do, highlight the identified needs of the community as well as the change we want to see. How do coalitions communicate or report out efforts to the community? Coalitions that establish communication plans, annual reports, and sustainability plans are more effective and are better equipped to sustain efforts over time than those that don't. Templates, instructions, and practical application tools for coalitions on multiple items referenced will be shared and discussed.

In 2019, MCRUD approached the Kalamazoo County Substance Abuse Task Force (KCSATF) about participating in an alcohol outlet density study. The coalition was immediately interested, and dove in to our first steps of visiting and verifying every alcohol retailer in the city of Kalamazoo. We quickly realized, as we moved forward, that we were building the bike as we were learning to ride it, so we often had to correct, adjust, and ask for help from our many partners. We will share how the project came about, what our goals for the project were, how we built the partnerships we needed to complete the project, what we learned along the way, and what we are doing with the final product. Coalitions will walk away with an understanding of how to begin an alcohol outlet density study, as well as what they may need to successfully complete this project.
