Copper Country Coalition for a Drug-free Community Logic Model

Assumptions
In order to reduce alcohol, marijuana and other drug use by youth, a community-wide intervention is needed.

To ensure that the intervention will be relevant to youth, they must be involved in planning and implementation.

Current community norms are accepting of alcohol, marijuana and other drug use in the community.

Reduced availability of alcohol will reduce alcohol, marijuana and other drug use by youth.

Use of alcohol by youth can be reduced through:
  • An outreach campaign that addresses alcohol, marijuana and other drug use in youth
  • Education about the penalties of selling and/or supplying alcohol to underage youth
  • More stringent monitoring of sales of alcohol to underage youth

Unstructured time leads to experimentation with alcohol, marijuana and other drugs by youth.

Protective factors decrease the risk of alcohol, marijuana and other drug use by youth.

Risk factors increase the risk of alcohol, marijuana and other drug use by youth.

Providing a variety of youth programs will

  • increase protective factors and decrease risk factors
  • reduce unstructured time
  • reduce alcohol, marijuana and other drug use by youth

Increasing parental understanding of protective and risk factors will lead to increased protective factors and reduced risk factors in their children.
