Michele Basen, MPH

States vary dramatically in their ability to collect and analyze National Outcome Measures (NOMs) and other substance abuse-related epidemiological and program monitoring data in a systematic and consistent manner. The ability to collect and analyze these data is vitally important to SAMHSA given the Agency’s commitment to enable all States to report these NOMs data to SAMHSA and to utilize NOMs and other relevant data for planning and programming purposes. The purpose of the State Epidemiological Outcome Workgroups (SEOW) is to collect, analyze, report, and utilize the NOMs data in a manner aligned with the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), which is SAMHSA guiding framework for prevention. The SPF requires data-driven decision-making within each step of the SPF process, including needs assessment, capacity assessment and mobilization, strategic planning, implementation, and evaluation.

The National Family Partnership (NFP) was created in 1980 by parents across America in response to the rising level of youth drug use. NFP’s mission is “to lead and support our nation’s families and communities to nurture the full potential of healthy, drug-free youth.” NFP works to accomplish its mission through parent training and networking and sponsoring the National Red Ribbon Campaign. SAMHSA is one of the sponsors of this Campaign. The Red Ribbon Campaign was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent, in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of wearing and displaying red ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment toward the creation of a DRUG-FREE AMERICA.

The Communities That Care (CTC) Survey instruments are posted on the home page of the Prevention Platform as Word and PDF files for easy downloading and local reproduction.
