RICHMOND ROSENBERG COMMUNITY COALITION - RICHMOND AND ROSENBERG ARE TWO CITIES LOCATED WITHIN THE GREATER HOUSTON METROPOLITAN AREA INCLUSIVE OF NEARLY 7 MILLION PEOPLE. WE ARE SITUATED ALONG ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE DRUG TRANSPORTATION ROUTES (INTERSTATE 59) AND SUBSEQUENTLY ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL CENTERS FOR DRUG ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTY. (HIDTA ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS, 2022.) THE 2022 HIDTA REPORT GOES ON TO STATE THAT THE REGION HAS EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN METHAMPHETAMINE AVAILABILITY HEIGHTENING THE THREAT LEVEL TO OUR COMMUNITIES. THE TARGET COMMUNITY CLOSELY RESEMBLES THAT OF HOUSTON IN MANY WAYS INCLUDING DEMOGRAPHICALLY. LAMAR (LHS) AND TERRY (THS) HIGH SCHOOLS SERVE RICHMOND AND ROSENBERG RESPECTIVELY AND ARE THE TARGET OF OUR PREVENTION EFFORTS. THE STUDENT POPULATION IN GRADES 9 THROUGH 12 ARE 65% HISPANIC, 11% WHITE, 19% BLACK, 3% ASIAN, AND 1% TWO OR MORE RACES. ADDITIONALLY, 63% ARE CONSIDERED AT OR BELOW POVERTY. THE INFORMATION FROM THE YRBSS INDICATED THAT OUR YOUTH ARE MORE LIKELY TO USE HEROIN (3.8 V. 1.3), PRESCRIPTION DRUGS (17.5 V 16.6); COCAINE (6.0 V. 4.8), AND TO BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR GIVEN AN ILLEGAL DRUG ON SCHOOL PROPERTY (28.5 V. 24.6), ABOVE THE STATE AVERAGE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FEEDBACK FROM BOTH YOUTH AND PARENTS INDICATING THAT UNDERAGE DRINKING AND INCREASING MARIJUANA USE (56% LIFETIME USE; 34.4 V 33.5 RESPECTIVELY) ARE THE MOST PRESSING CONCERNS IN AND AROUND RICHMOND AND ROSENBERG. THE DATA, HOWEVER LIMITED, CLEARLY ESTABLISHES ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA, AND OPIOIDS AS THE DRUGS OF CHOICE FOR OUR YOUTH. FOR THESE REASONS, RRCC HAS DEVISED AN ACTION PLAN THAT FOCUSES ON INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA, AND OPIOID USE AS WELL AS IN PROVIDING MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES TO YOUTH AS ALTERNATIVES TO SUBSTANCE USE/MISUSE AND MAKING PARENTAL SUPPORT RESOURCES MORE READILY AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE. RRCC HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES IN RESPONSE: • TARGET DRUG 1: ALCOHOL - REDUCE 30-DAY ALCOHOL USE AMONG 12TH-GRADE STUDENTS FROM THE 2019 BASELINE OF 28.9% BY 5 POINTS BY 2028 AS MEASURED BY THE YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (TWO-YEAR TARGET: 2-POINT REDUCTION.) • TARGET DRUG 2: MARIJUANA - REDUCE 30-DAY MARIJUANA USE AMONG 11TH-GRADE STUDENTS FROM THE 2019 BASELINE OF 26.9% BY 5 POINTS BY 2028 AS MEASURED BY THE YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (TWO-YEAR TARGET: 2-POINT REDUCTION.) • TARGET DRUG 3: OPIOIDS - DECREASE 30-DAY OPIATE AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE AMONG 9TH-GRADEL STUDENTS FROM THE 2019 BASELINE OF 18.4% BY 3 POINTS BY 2028 AS MEASURED BY THE YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM. (TWO-YEAR TARGET: 1-POINT REDUCTION) TO ACHIEVE THIS END, RRCC WILL TARGET MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AGE YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE FIRST YEAR AND SUSTAINED THROUGH THE 5-YEAR PROJECT: 1) SECURING THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPACITY TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION THROUGH WIDE-RANGING COMMUNITY COLLABORATION, 2) IMPROVING COALITION COMPETENCY THROUGH TRAININGS AND EDUCATION, 3) INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE ISSUES AROUND ALCOHOL, MARIJUANA, AND OPIOID MISUSE WITH MULTIMODAL COMMUNICATIONS, 4) ENHANCING PARENTING SKILLS TO BUFFER EXPOSURE TO NEGATIVE INFLUENCES, 5) IMPLEMENTING A COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTION MEDIA CAMPAIGN TARGETING ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA, 6) ENHANCING SCHOOL-BASED STUDENT PREVENTION CLUBS WITH TRAINING AND ACTIVITY SUPPORT, 7) ADVOCATING FOR SCHOOL DRUG AND ALCOHOL RESPONSE POLICY REVIEWS AND UPDATES, 8) CONDUCTING OUTREACH TARGETING UNDER-RESOURCED, UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES, AND 9) IMPROVING ACCESS TO PREVENTION RESOURCE FOR PARENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
