1 Changing the Culture of Risky Drinking Behavior A Strategic Plan to Reduce Alcohol-Related Injuries Among Year-olds in La Crosse County, Wisconsin A Partnership of: La Crosse Medical Health Science Consortium Medical College of Wisconsin s Injury Research Center Coulee Council on Addictions CESA #4 La Crosse County Health Department
2 Changing the Culture of Risky Drinking Behavior Strategic Plan 1. Title: Changing the Culture of Risky Drinking Behavior 2. Timeframe: January 2009-December Coalition The mission of the Changing the Culture Coalition is to reduce and prevent alcoholrelated injury among year-olds in La Crosse County. Primary Contacts: Catherine Kolkmeier, Director La Crosse Medical Health Science Consortium 1300 Badger St., Office 3065 La Crosse, WI (608) Fax: (608) Stephen Hargarten, MD, MPH, Director Injury Research Center Medical College of Wisconsin 8701 Watertown Plank Road Milwaukee, WI (414) Fax: (414) Description of local situation Project History This project, Changing the Culture of Risky Drinking Behavior, began in 2007 with the award of a $50,000 Development (planning) Grant from the Healthier Wisconsin Partnership Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The grant was awarded to a partnership of the La Crosse Medical Health Science Consortium (a collaboration of Franciscan Skemp Healthcare/Mayo Health System, Gundersen Lutheran, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Western Technical College, and Viterbo University) and the Injury Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Additional partners included Coulee Council on Addictions, CESA #4, and the La Crosse County Health Department. Together, this group assembled a diverse Community Coalition to take on the task of developing this strategic plan, which outlines steps that can be taken over the next three to
3 five years to reduce the incidence of alcohol-related injuries among year-olds in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. Overarching Goal The overarching goal of this one year planning effort was to develop a plan for reducing alcohol-related injuries among year-olds in La Crosse County. The key components completed as part of the planning process were the development of: A Community Coalition representing a variety of age groups, public and private sectors, and other stakeholders in La Crosse County A written Burden of Alcohol-Related Injury Report An Inventory of Assets in La Crosse County A written 3-5 year Strategic Plan for accomplishing the overarching goal Burden of Injury Report Summary One of the key tasks before completing this strategic plan was to collect actual data on the burden that alcohol-related injuries have on the resources of La Crosse County, including law enforcement efforts, emergency room and inpatient hospital treatment, and license violations. Below are some highlights from the report, Risky Drinking Behavior Alcohol Use and Injury in La Crosse County : There were 14 alcohol-related injury deaths for year olds in La Crosse County for the five year period For year old La Crosse residents, 10% of all emergency department visits for intentional injury and 3% of all emergency department visits for unintentional injury were alcohol-related. For the same group, 34% of all inpatient hospital stays for intentional injury and 21% of all inpatient hospital stays for unintentional injury were alcohol-related. 4,517 police calls in La Crosse County were alcohol-related for In the city of La Crosse, underage drinking violations were the most common violations. According to the data in the burden report, the most apparent burdens on La Crosse County year-olds that were alcohol-related were: Unintentional/accidental deaths Intentional assaults Self-harm injuries and suicides Motor vehicle crashes: o especially on local roads o especially from 2:00-4:00 a.m. o especially in mid-winter and early fall
4 Asset Inventory Summary Knowing the burden that alcohol-related injuries have on the community offers half of the full picture for La Crosse County. The other, and equally important, half is an inventory of the community s assets those organizations, programs, and projects that help offset the injury burden by offering prevention and treatment services, alternative activities, counseling and self-help options, and community education. One of the key assets of La Crosse County with regard to alcohol-related injuries is the Great Rivers system, a comprehensive resource database and referral service that connects residents of the La Crosse/Winona region with assistance for substance abuse, mental health, natural disaster, and other human services information. A complete (and updatable) list of community assets was compiled as part of the Changing the Culture project and listed on their website at Assets we identified in the community tended to focus on treatment of alcohol addiction and abuse and the resulting effects on individuals and their families more than prevention or providing alternatives to the culture of drinking. Assets geared toward the year-old population tended to fall into the following categories: Policies and ordinances (community, school, and organizational) Penalties and court programs Counseling programs Activities for youth Training and mentoring programs Informational campaigns, such as Parents Who Host Lose the Most In reviewing these assets, suggested improvements were: Effective geographical coverage for policies that have shown success Consistency in how policies are enforced and penalties issued in the county Non-alcohol-related activities that are attractive to year-olds The public health issue approach One of the key reasons our planning efforts to date have received the community and media support they have is that we have addressed the issue of changing the culture of risky drinking not as one of individual behavior but as a public health issue. Public health issues can be viewed as arising from three different areas of influence: the population involved (the host ), the environment in which it occurs, and the vehicle (the agent ) at the root of the issue (in this case, alcohol, its packaging, its contents, etc.). Using the public health model, our planning effort identified problems, assets, and solutions within each of these three areas and found that environmental influences are most within our control and easiest to change at a community level. These are also the most likely to find
5 broad-scale support from the community because they do not focus on blame and individual behavior, but on the circumstances and environment that allows and encourages a culture of risky drinking. Selecting evidence-based strategies In defining the goals to be accomplished in this strategic plan, we will focus most of our energy on environmental aspects of the culture of risky drinking that is, determining strategies that will impact the burdens we have measured, reinforce the assets we already have and add more as needed, and bring change to the environment that encourages under- 21 youth to drink illegally and youth up to 24 years to drink in a risky and dangerous way. To accomplish this, we will adopt and apply evidence-based strategies that have been proven by scientific studies to have been effective in other communities with similar conditions to ours. These are strategies that, based on data, have been shown to reduce risk in a community. Usually these have been studied through tightly controlled research studies. Such strategies can include education, media campaigns, or alcohol control policies and can influence how beverages are manufactured, packaged, distributed, sold and consumed. We understand that every community is unique, and thus we will focus on strategies that are based on the unique assets and problems within our community of La Crosse County.
