Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Hawaii's Substance Use Prevention Capacity Building Grant
The Nonprofit Grant To Strengthen State And Community-Level Prevention Capacity To Substance Use aims to enhance Hawaii's ability to address local substance use prevention concerns. The Hawaii Department of Health's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD) is a key state agency involved in this effort, working closely with community organizations to identify and address substance use issues. Hawaii's unique geographic feature as a island chain with rural and isolated communities, such as those found in the Neighbor Islands, presents distinct challenges in delivering substance use prevention services.
Priority Outcomes for Hawaii
The primary target outcomes for this grant in Hawaii focus on reducing substance use among its residents, particularly among Native Hawaiians and other vulnerable populations. The state's priority outcomes include decreasing the prevalence of underage drinking, tobacco use, and opioid misuse. To achieve these outcomes, grantees will need to develop evidence-based prevention programs that are culturally responsive to Hawaii's diverse population.
Hawaii's cultural context, with its strong emphasis on 'ohana (family) and community, can be leveraged to support substance use prevention efforts. For example, programs that engage Native Hawaiian cultural practices and involve family members in prevention activities have shown promise. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) has been instrumental in promoting Native Hawaiian health and wellness initiatives, including those related to substance use prevention.
Measuring Success in Hawaii
To measure the success of the grant, Hawaii will track key performance indicators such as the number of individuals served by prevention programs, the percentage of youth reporting substance use, and the rate of substance-related emergency department visits. Grantees will be expected to collect and report data on these indicators, which will inform statewide efforts to address substance use. By focusing on these target outcomes, the grant will help build Hawaii's capacity to prevent substance use and promote a healthier environment for its residents.
Grants for Hawaii, including those focused on substance use prevention, often require a deep understanding of the state's unique cultural and geographic context. The USDA grants in Hawaii, for instance, have supported rural development initiatives that can be adapted to address substance use prevention in rural areas. Similarly, business grants for Hawaiians and Native Hawaiian grants for business have promoted economic development that can be linked to health and wellness outcomes.
