The coalition has been in existence since 2010, and has received both Drug Free Communities (DFC) and Texas Health and Human Services \u2013 Community Coalition Partnership funding since 2013.\u00a0The coalition also receives funding from the Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking (STOP) Act grant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 problemas \u00fanicos enfrenta su coalici\u00f3n?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 1 in 4 (22%) of FBISD students drink alcohol (Pride Surveys, 2018), making underage drinking the most prevalent substance misuse problem in our current service area,\u201d said coalition coordinator <strong>Payal Patani<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cFort Bend County has over 900 alcohol retail establishments (Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission, 2019) and FBCPC\u2019s environmental scan found that many continually display advertisements promoting social norms favorable to drinking in young adulthood, such as consuming hard liquor in party settings.\u00a0Key informant interviews with the Fort Bend County Sheriff\u2019s Office reveal social hosting \u2013i.e., parties hosted by parents where minors are served alcohol\u2013 occurs regularly in the county. Parents tend to lack the knowledge that providing alcohol to persons under 21 years of age is a Class A misdemeanor (FBRC Community Survey, 2018). In fact, most students who drink do so at home (52%) or at a friend\u2019s house (35%; Pride Surveys, 2018).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about this PSA- the idea behind it and what purpose you hope it serves. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coalition\u2019s service area is one of the most diverse in the nation,\u201d said <strong>Patani<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cCounty demographics are 35% White, 20% African American, 19% Asian, 24% Hispanic, and 2% other. Lending to its diversity, more than 40% of residents are foreign born, coming from Asia (46%), Latin America (40%), Africa (5%) and Europe (7%).\u00a0A recent study by the Rice University Kinder Institute declared Fort Bend County to be the most diverse county in the nation.\u00a0Their Houston Area Asian Survey found more than 95 languages and dialects are spoken within Fort Bend ISD geographic area. It is crucial to prepare and provide culturally and linguistically appropriate substance misuse prevention messages. Therefore, our coalition created the multi-lingual PSA to remind community members about the consequences of serving alcohol to minors in four different languages: English, Mandarin, Spanish and Hindi. The PSA was recently unveiled at our fourth annual Drug Symposium.\u00a0We hope that providing relevant and culturally appropriate information and services will promote positive outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What outcomes has your community has experienced as a result of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years, the coalition has successfully reduced drug use among youth as follows: a 34.0% reduction in annual underage drinking rate from 2014 to 2018; a 29% reduction in youth marijuana use; and a 44% reduction in prescription drug use among youth in the FBCPC\u2019s service area,\u201d said <strong>Patani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 consejo le dar\u00eda a otras coaliciones que puedan estar abordando algunos de los mismos problemas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coalition\u2019s primary focus should be on influencing environmental and social policies to improve conditions in which people live, work, and socialize,\u201d said <strong>Patani<\/strong>. \u201cUsing community-based processes will enhance the ability of the coalition to effectively provide substance misuse prevention services.\u00a0The coalition should promote coordination and collaboration to make efficient use of community resources.\u00a0Outreach and recruitment should remain a focus for the coalition.\u00a0As a result of these efforts, the coalition will build strong partnerships with key stakeholders who will help move the needle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will you be attending the 2019 Mid-Year Training Institute? If so, what lessons do you hope to take back to your coalition from the event? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, our coalition will attend the 2019 Mid-Year Training,\u201d said<strong> Patani<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cWe hope to receive training in policy, advocacy and sustainability.\u00a0We will continue to implement strategies to change policies, social norms and behaviors to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors. Therefore, having appropriate skills and tactics is very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Texas coalition, having Mid-Year in Grapevine, Texas is ideal because \u2018everything in Texas is bigger
