JEFFERSON COUNTY UPP PROJECT TO PREVENT AND REDUCE MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL USE AMONG COUNTY YOUTH - PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES FAMILY RECOVERY CENTER, INC., (THE APPLICANT) HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH JEFFERSON COUNTY UNITED PREVENTION PARTNERSHIP (UPP) TO EFFECTIVELY STEWARD DFC SUPPORT PROGRAM FUNDS TO ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING: ESTABLISH AND STRENGTHEN COLLABORATION AMONG PUBLIC AND PRIVATE NON-PROFIT AGENCIES SUPPORT A COUNTY-WIDE EFFORT TO PREVENT AND REDUCE MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL USE AMONG YOUTH (18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER) REDUCE MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL USE AMONG JEFFERSON COUNTY YOUTH AND ULTIMATELY REDUCE MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL USE AMONG ADULTS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. KEY FEATURES OF THE COMMUNITY JEFFERSON COUNTY IS LOCATED IN EAST CENTRAL OHIO, PART OF THE APPALACHIAN REGION BORDERING WEST VIRGINIA ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. THE 2018 CENSUS BUREAU ESTIMATES THE POPULATION OF THE COUNTY AT 65,767; OF WHICH 27.2% OF THE RESIDENTS LIVE IN THE COUNTY SEAT, THE TOWN OF STEUBENVILLE. 90.4% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE WHITE, 5.4% ARE AFRICAN-AMERICAN, 1.5% ARE HISPANIC OR LATINO, AND 2.2% ARE TWO OR MORE RACES. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 10,850 K-12 (PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL) STUDENTS, 18 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER. THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE IS POORER AND LESS WELL-EDUCATED THAN OHIOANS AS A WHOLE. 15.3% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS AGE 25 AND OLDER HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER COMPARED TO 27.8% OF OHIOANS. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE COUNTY WAS 17.8% LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE WITH 19.0% OF COUNTY RESIDENTS LIVING IN POVERTY. SHIFTS OR EVENTS IMPACTING YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE ONCE A VIBRANT MANUFACTURING AREA WITH MANY EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE STEEL AND AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIES, THE EROSION OF JOBS IN THESE SECTORS STEEPENED THE LAST 30 YEARS, GOING INTO A TAILSPIN FROM WHICH IT HAS YET TO RECOVER. THE PAST FEW YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT REBOUND DUE TO INNOVATIONS IN THE SHALE AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY. IN ADDITION, THE COUNTY IS RICH IN CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS AND FAITH COMMUNITIES. MOST LOCALES HAVE THEIR OWN POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHICH ALSO YIELDS COMMUNITY COHESION. APPALACHIAN VALUES PROMOTE A GENERAL SUSPICION OF OUTSIDERS AND EXPERTS AND A PREFERENCE FOR LOCAL CONTROL. THERE IS LIMITED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. LOWER INCOME RESIDENTS THEREFORE HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO AMENITIES, SERVICES, AND SUPPORTS THAT DO NOT EXIST IN THEIR SMALL COMMUNITY. BELIEF THAT "FATE," RATHER THAN INDIVIDUAL ACTION OR INITIATIVE, DICTATES LIFE OUTCOMES, IS PREVALENT. THE CULTURE ENDORSES THE MEDICINAL USE OF ALCOHOL. THE COUNTY'S PROXIMITY TO PENNSYLVANIA AND WEST VIRGINIA HAS MADE IT VULNERABLE TO OUT-OF-AREA DRUG DEALERS WHO CAN MOVE EASILY BACK AND FORTH AMONG THESE STATE BORDERS TO AVOID DETECTION. MARIJUANA IS THE MOST WIDELY USED ILLEGAL DRUG. THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FARMLAND MAKES GROWING MARIJUANA RELATIVELY EASY. DATA COLLECTED BY THE COALITION REFLECT THAT MANY RESIDENTS ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT UNDERAGE DRINKING AND MARIJUANA USE. JEFFERSON COUNTY UNITED PREVENTION PARTNERSHIP HAS CHOSEN STRATEGIES TO MEET DFC SUPPORT PROGRAM GOALS AND LEAD TO SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY-LEVEL CHANGE BY LIMITING ACCESS TO ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA, CHANGING THE CULTURE AND CONTEXT WITHIN WHICH DECISIONS ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE ARE MADE, AND SHIFTING THE CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE.
