3 LUCK Where Preparation Meets Opportunity Opioids: Understanding how we got here How History Repeats Some Opiate History 3400 BC First evidence to cultivation and use of opiate poppy plants in Mesopotamia. Sumerians referred to it as the joy plant 357 BC Hippocrates The Father of Medicine documented the usefulness of opiates to treat a variety of internal diseases. In 1806 a German chemist introduces a new derivative of opium which he named after the Greek god of dreams, Morpheus. Morphine quickly becomes a mainstay in medicine and was used widely to treat a variety of conditions including: pain, anxiety, respiratory problems, consumption and women s ailments. 3

4 Morphine used widely to treat pain from battle injuries during the Civil War Many men returned home from the war with an addiction to morphine, known as soldier s disease Because of the rampant abuse of morphine and the numbers of people who reported being addicted, a safer alternative to morphine was sought Winslow's Soothing Syrup for infants Active Ingredient: Morphine 4

5 Main Effects of Opiates Pain Blocker/Euphoric Effects Cough Suppressant Constipation...morphinism is a disease, in the majority of cases, initiated, sustained and left uncured by members of the medical profession. Dr. Kennedy Foster, New York Medical Journal 1914 In 1916 German scientists formulate oxycodone as a safe painkilling option to heroin which was now no longer in production 5

11 Opioid Receptors in the Brain From MA BSAS OOD Prevention & Reversal Trainers Manual - BPHC Opioid Receptors in the Brain Most Widely-used Opiates in the U.S. Vicodin A powerful pain reliever prescribed for acute episodes of pain (injury, post surgery) and chronic pain. Most abused prescription in the U.S. (Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen) OxyContin A powerful opiate originally formulated to time-release its effects. Easily overridden and abused. New formulations have made OxyContin less desirable on the streets, contributing to an increase in heroin and fentanyl. Heroin The most widely used non-prescription opiate. It is estimated that more than half of people currently using heroin began opiate use from a prescription. 11

12 Strategic Prevention Framework Prevention "Prevention is an active, assertive process of creating conditions and/or personal attributes that promote the well-being of people. (William A. Lofquist) Prevention Continuum 12

Opioid (Heroin, Oxycontin, etc) First Use (50%) AND Abuse (50%) Most commonly used opioids Heroin Codeine Demerol Morphine Darvocet Fentanyl Dilaudid Methadone Opium Hydrocodone Oxycodone Levorphanol Vicodin OxyContin Tylenol 3 Tylox Percocet Percodan 13

14 Key Principles of the SPF Public Health Approach Data-Driven Community-Based Strategic Planning Process Outcomes-Based Prevention Assessment Diagnosis: Needs and risk & protective factors assessment Resource inventory Prioritization of community issues Resource Inventory Current community resources Who is being serviced Overlaps vs. gaps Increase Collaboration Decrease Duplication 14

15 Levels Establish baseline Data Analysis Trends Over time Patterns By age, gender, race/ethnicity Synthesize all 3 sources of data and resource inventory Identify areas of focus Craft problem statements Drug (or other issue) Target population Baseline rate Prioritization of Community Issues Build an inclusive coalition/community movement Capacity Building: The ability to mobilize community & resources Membership Structure/function Engage community, include key decision makers & those affected by the problem 15

16 Sample Organizational Chart Steering Committee General Membership Community X workgroup Community Y workgroup Community Z workgroup Capacity Building Educate the group Leadership Effective prevention Cultural competence Capacity Building Identify and secure resources Human resources Technical resources Management and evaluation resources Financial resources 16

17 Planning Data- driven (based on diagnosis) Multiple strategies in multiple domains Evidence based (policy, practice, system change) Logical Planning What is a Comprehensive Strategic Plan? Vision & Mission Statements Problem Statement & Summary of Data Strategic Goals & Objectives Intervening Variables & Outcomes Logic Models Evidence-Based Strategies Action Plan & Timeline Evaluation Plan Planning Logic Model: Logical connection between the problem, the Risk & Protective Factors and Strategies Implemented Related Problems Substance Use High Rates of Binge Drinking High Rates of Drinking and Driving Risk & Protective Factors Early Initiation of Alcohol Use Social Norms Encouraging Binge Drinking Little Enforcement of Drinking and Driving Strategies High Rate of Youth Alcohol- Related Crashes Communitybased recreation opportunities Media campaign in school to correct perceptions of normal consumption Enforcement Checkpoints 17

18 Implementation Putting your plans into practice Multiple strategies in multiple domains Fidelity Staffing 5. Evaluation Monitor progress and impact on selected change indicators Community is unit of analysis not the individual Trends over time Use evaluation results to realign strategies, as needed Cultural Competence Meets the Needs of the People With Whom You Are Working Eliminates service & participation disparities Improves effectiveness & quality of programs, policies and practices 18

19 Sustainability Sustain outcomes, not necessarily programs Think sustainability from the beginning Look to community resources to sustain outcomes Sustain prevention by making it everyone s job Contact Information Carl J. Alves carljalves@gmail.com 19
