All Board members were present with the exception of Commissioner Johnson. All Staff members were present with the exception of Julia Danskin. There was a quorum. APPROVAL OF AGENDA IIICommissioner Rodgers moved to approve the Agenda with one change. New Business was changed to reflect Tobacco-Next Steps being presented before the scheduled Methamphetamine Abuse agenda item. Member Buhler seconded the motion,which carried by a unanimous vote. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Member Masci moved to approve the Minutes as written. Commissioner Rodgers seconded the motion,which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chair Sullivan called on the public for comments. Beth Wilmart, Jefferson County Community Network Program Manager, introduced Holly Carlson, the Community Network Board, Chair. Holley Carlson read and submitted a letter to the BOCC written by the Community Network Board. The letter was written requesting JCPH to release the 2004 Healthy Youth Survey data, as well as the Community Readiness Survey conducted by JCPH in . the summer of 2005. John Chiles, from the Jefferson County Substance Abuse Advisory Board,requested the release of data from the 2004 Healthy Youth Survey and the 2005 Community Readiness • Survey in order to prepare for community presentations. Chair Sullivan stated that the time it takes to analyze and release community health reports is a funding issue. Jean commented that past studies have been funded by a City, Hospital District, and County partnership. An effort is being made to renew this funding partnership. Jean stated that Kellie was in the final stage of analysis of Healthy Youth data comparison of Jefferson County and the state using other program dollars. OLD BUSINESS Solid Waste/Junk Cars Public Meeting Report Mike McNickle reported on the public meeting held February 23`1. He stated that approximately 70 people were present. A 20-minute presentation was given at the meeting followed by questions. There were many questions and comments from interested parties and Mike felt there was productive dialogue. There is going to be ongoing work to clarify language in the solid waste ordinance and implementing policies. Application has been made to Department of Ecology for$30,000 towards moving junk cars out of the county. This should move 800 cars. Negotiations with community tow truck drivers have begun. Projected sites are in Quilcene and Brinnon. EH continues to work to help those on a limited income who want to remove a car but can't tow it from their house to the site. An event is tentatively scheduled for the end of summer at the • county gravel pit. Member Westerman questioned whether substantive changes in the ordinance need to take place and expressed concern as to whether or not the $30,000 would cover the entire junk car cleanup effort. She expressed the desire not to have the event be too heavily subsidized to aid people who are violating ordinances. Immunization Program Site Visit Report Jean pointed out that these reports are not generally made a part of the Board of Health packet but wanted to share this information because the report provided a through review of the program and highlighted the excellent work being done by program staff. Member Westerman complimented the staff on a job well done. Region 2 Public Health Newsletter—Winter 2006 Dr. Locke shared the Quarterly Newletter that is put out by our three county emergency preparedness region. The target group for this newsletter is healthcare providers. He pointed out that changes in the Communicable Disease Surveillance data were prompted by a request from the Jefferson County Board of Health to facilitate comparisons between counties. Swamp Nurse • • Jean Baldwin talked about the Nurse Family Partnership aka the Timber Nurse program. She pointed out that the article came from the New Yorker Magazine that addressed the personal side, not the science side of the program. Jean reported that one of JCPH's Timber Nurse staff was at University of Washington making a film on ways to do `depression screening' for other nurses through UW and for the Maternal Child Health program for the state. 2005 Community Health Performance Measures Jean Baldwin reviewed the four components of Community Health Performance Measures. The report for each program includes the mission, goals and objectives for 2005 and performance indicators for which the county gives JCPH the funds to provide these services. She pointed out that these numbers are used for preparation of the budget. Member Masci asked for clarification on what percentage of the population was being reached by these programs and if there is a way to publicize this information. He suggested a press release, so the public would have a better understanding of the amount of money JCPH has to work with to perform these services. Commissioner Rodgers reminded us that there is a story in each one of those numbers. Kellie Ragan clarified the Family Planning report stating the comparison showed that about two-thirds of the 15-24 age population would have seen some sort of service. • Jean Baldwin introduced Jefferson County Public Health's new Prevention Specialist, Kelly Matlock. Kelly will be working with the prevention team to work on strategic planning and community forums. NEW BUSINESS Tobacco—Next Steps Kellie Ragan reviewed the Tobacco Workplan Rationale. The data presented on the work plan is from state funds. The state does an oversampling of a minimum of 200 people per county to determine smoking prevalence rates. In November of last year, voters amended the Clean Indoor Air Act. The Jefferson County Board of Health passed its Clean Indoor Air Ordinance in February. As a consequence, indoor smoking was addressed on this report. The next step will include supporting employers to promote cessation among their employees. With tobacco funds, JCPH sent Brenda Plouse,pharmacist from Jefferson Healthcare,to a tobacco specialist training. Brenda Plouse summarized the training of national researchers and explained changes in the prescription of nicotine replacement therapy. She touched briefly on nicotine gum, the inhaler, the patch,nasal spray and Zyban as therapy replacement. Brenda stated that providers are generally under-dosing their patients with nicotine replacement and usually • use only one form of therapy. Research has found that you can use several different replacement therapies together, even with some smoking,because you don't really reach the level of nicotine that a 1 pack-a-day smoker is getting. The plan focuses on • counseling combined with nicotine replacement therapy and providing enough nicotine therapy so patients don't have to go through cravings. Brenda said the next step to come after I-901 is helping employers help their employees. This information was presented to clinical staff at the hospital. Brenda drafted an order sheet for nicotine replacement therapy to be used by the doctors as a checklist,which gives them choices of therapies and dosages that they can check off and give to the patient. Brenda talked about starting a support group in Port Townsend and will be talking to the press. Dr. Rotchford remarked that some studies show that some people who have not quit smoking will live longer if you give them the nicotine replacement and are less likely to have a stroke or heart attack. Commissioner Rodgers remarked that Hadlock Building Supply gave monetary incentives to employee who quit smoking,knowing it was good business. Methamphetamine Abuse—A Public Health Approach Dr. Rotchford, who is the liaison appointed by the Substance Abuse Advisory Board to the Board of Health, gave a power point presentation and spoke on the county wide epidemic of methamphetamine and effect that meth has on the brain. Methamphetamine use causes brain cell death. It affects judgment. Dr. Rotchford explained that every medication is different and needs a unique approach. 411 Methamphetamine is a chemical dependency disease and a nervous system disease. Dr. Rotchford explained the difference in terms between using and abusing meth. Dr. Rotchford discussed depression associated with meth use and the persistence of depression weeks or months after stopping the drug. When asked by Member Buhler whether depression was a result of drug use or the reason why they took the drug, Dr. Rotchford explained that drugs like methamphetamine can have initial anti-depressant effects but the cumulative toxic effect eventually becomes a cause of further depression. Dr. Rotchford stated, "It is a disease that needs treatment and chronic relapse prevention." Treatment can improve health,reduce recidivism and reduce criminal activity by abusers. He stated that this is a public health crisis and asked that the Board of Health intervene,treating it as an epidemic and using well established epidemic control measures. He recommended that the tools of epidemiology be used to combat the meth epidemic and that is was not a problem that could be effectively dealt with only by law enforcement and treatment providers. Member Westerman expressed concern over the statement relating to the meth epidemic could be like a flu epidemic stating that with methamphetamine abuse we have people out in the community that are choosing a behavior. Strategies like isolation we use for a communicable disease epidemic would not be useful in responding to a drug abuse epidemic. She asked how will we fund it and would we give up some other important priority. Member Westerman feels there needs to be more clarification about the public health role before the Board of Health can act. . . Jean Baldwin addressed concerns by saying, that we are uniquely positioned to deal with this disease using community based approaches. Increased screening in doctors offices and clinics and talking about the health effects of drug use is occurring. There are many norms that are being set by behavior around meth, so as community norms change, individual behaviors change. Community mobilization and prevention programs have a chance to change community norms around meth use. Chairman Sullivan brought up Senator Hargrove's bill, 6239,that passed, which will give $100,000 a year for years 2008, 2009 and 2010 to counties for methamphetamine treatment. Funding will be given to the counties that have passed the Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders sales tax, which Jefferson County has done. We start collecting that tax on April 1st and part of that money will go to treatment. Dr. Locke asked the board to look at three essential questions. One—Is this really in your mission and within your responsibilities? The authority of a local board of health in the state of Washington is very broad and virtually all diseases are covered. A more specific question would be, is this one of the diseases you would want to tackle? We have been battling drug epidemics for a long time and the methamphetamine epidemic is particularly hazardous. Two —Does Public Health have a distinctive capability that we can bring to this task? The most powerful tool we have is the science of epidemiology, which is the study of human disease and how it affects population. Three—What options are available?New resources and initiatives are going to be started up and need to be focused on the area with the greatest • impact. Epidemiology is one of the tools you can use to target those efforts. This would be one way to look at treatment outcomes, the dollars saved on criminal justice systems, and other community impacts. Member Masci spoke about the need for more tools and resources and believes that this issue should be continually brought before Jefferson BOCC and Port Townsend City Council to request funding. The constant struggle as a board is trying to find every possible funding source just to be able to afford to provide the services that are already in place. Joint Board Assessment Project Proposal Dr. Locke reported that he and Vic Dirksen spoke on this issue this week. Jean Baldwin and Dr. Locke drew up a draft project proposal to present to Jefferson Healthcare Board of Commissioners suggesting project activities, a timeline and the funding necessary to get this project started. At a minimum the two Boards would look at and analyze the new community health data and use it for joint and individual organizational decision-making. Member Masci reminded the board of the timeliness of pitching this project to the City Council because the City has already accelerated its budget process. The project needs to be presented to the City council between March and June, as the City will start to work • on their budget in July/August. Member Masci asked for a show of support for consensus on the format of the project • proposal as it was written so it can be presented to Jefferson Healthcare Commissioners. There was a majority in agreement. It will be presented as an agenda item to the hospital commissioners. Legislative Session Summary Dr. Locke reported that new funding for Pandemic Influenza planning will be available for local health departments. Over two million dollars was appropriated for the 35 local health jurisdictions. There is also a small amount of federal funding for this effort that must be spent in the next several months. Discussions were held at a Regional Public Health Emergency meeting about the most effective way to spend one time only dollars by combining education efforts for the region. Substance Abuse Advisory Board Reappointments Member Masci made a motion to reappoint Laurie Strong to the Substance Abuse Advisory Board. Member Buhler seconded the motion,which was carried by unanimous vote. She will be appointed to a three-year term. Activity Update/Agenda Planning Member Westerman requested that the changes to bylaws be discussed at the board meeting in April. She would like to see every member on the board having equal voting authority. Jean would like to include discussion about the Strategic Planning Process as an FYI. • Kellie Ragan will have the Healthy Youth Data ready to be released to the Board of Health and the schools. Chair Sullivan adjourned the meeting at 4:34 p.m. Next Board of Health meeting is April 20, 2006. JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH David Sullivan, Chairman Jill Buhler, Member Patrick M.

Port Hadlock, WA 98339 Dear Sheriff Brasfield, I am enclosing a copy of the Jefferson County Board of Health Ordinance for enforcement of the Initiative 901 Clean Indoor Air Act (RCW 70.160). Jefferson County Public Health is following up on all complaints related to indoor air. A copy of the flow sheet we utilize to deal with complaints is also enclosed for your reference. • Per RWC 70.160, Jefferson County Public Health will be limiting education and compliance efforts to establishments. The intent of the 25-foot rule is to prevent smoke from entering a building. Smoking is prohibited in outside areas that are less than twenty-five (25) feet away from building entrances, exits, ventilation intakes or windows that open. When these areas are owned by or within the control of a business, such as a deck, the person in charge is responsible for ensuring compliance with the law. People on the sidewalk or outdoors in public space are beyond the scope of the jurisdiction of Public Health.

The following editorial appeared in today's Kitsap Sun newspaper: "More Funding Is Needed to Fight TB" March 24, 2006 To most of us, tuberculosis is archaic. We know it only as a disease generally mentioned in historical references - perhaps in period-piece novels and movies when an expendable, impoverished character dies of "consumption. " But tuberculosis is not a disease of the past. In 2006, it has a life-and-death reality that annually kills about 2 million people in the world. As it grows into another millennium, this age-old disease is evolving into alarming forms that are far more difficult and costly to treat. Last year, Washington state had more than 250 reported cases of tuberculosis. Although most were concentrated in heavily urban areas - King County had 127 - other counties, including Kitsap, were not immune. Dr. Scott Lindquist, director of the Kitsap County Health District, said that in 2005, six IIIor seven persons suffering from active tuberculosis were reported here - including two who died of it. Treatment is expensive, typically about $10,000 per case, in part because of the disease's highly infectious nature. By coughing, a TB carrier easily can infect 10 to 15 other people before his disease is discovered and treated. Lindquist also noted that in Washington, unlike elsewhere in the nation, state funds are not provided and individual counties must use their own funding for tuberculosis control. In Kitsap County, the health district budgeted $100, 000 for tuberculosis last year, and spent all of it. Across Puget Sound, the King County health department's tuberculosis budget was overspent by $300, 000. Although TB overall is decreasing in the U.S. , the number of cases of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis is rising, primarily due to recent immigrants. When a case of "normal" TB develops into MDR, the two main drugs used for curing tuberculosis are ineffective. Resultantly, curing the TB carrier becomes far more complex and costly - if it is possible at all. In some cases, tuberculosis becomes even more extensively drug-resistant, with microbes that can't be treated by several of the secondary drugs used against TB. This is a deadly strain of TB, described as "virtually untreatable", and it's growing both in the U.S. and globally. Treating one case of drug-resistant tuberculosis can easily cost $250, 000, and in some cases up to $1 million. In Washington state, one rural county's health department went bankrupt treating an MDR case of tuberculosis. Scientists around the world have been making headway toward creating potential new vaccines - but such work is expensive, and funding is always a problem. Strong financial support in the fight against TB is channeled through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria - an international partnership between governments, the private sector and affected communities. •Congress is considering increases in funding to the Global Plan and other organizations involved in the fight against TB. Without adequate funding, some effective programs will have to be halted, and promising new ones could not be launched. 1 We strongly urge our members of Congress to support increased funding for the fight against tuberculosis. In Olympia, legislators should provide targeted state funding to ease the burden on individual counties in TB treatment and prevention. If ample government funding is provided by the U.S. and other developed nations, millions • of lives can be saved and tuberculosis may become - in reality - a disease of the past.

We now partner with three Jefferson County school districts; Port Townsend, Chimacum and, Quilcene. In a one-year period, our 74 mentors will dedicate an estimated 5,106 hours to Jefferson County children in one-to-one mentoring. This non-paid program activity is valued at $88,895 (Independent Sector, 2005, based on a $17.41 per hour volunteer value for Washington State). Mission—Big Brothers Big Sisters of King and Pierce Counties partners with actively involved community members to match caring adults with children, both of whom benefit from our one-to-one mentoring programs. Purpose—Our purpose is to help children, living primarily in single-adult families with below poverty income, to build the developmental assets necessary to manage daily challenges, succeed in school, and create promising futures. Programs—Community-based mentors meet with their Little Brother or Little Sister for 3-4 hours per week, 3-4 times a month for one year. During their time together, the pair chooses activities that are mutually enjoyable (rollerblading, camping, rock climbing, watching a movie, going to the Pacific Science Center, etc.). School-based mentors meet with their Little Brothers and Little Sisters for one hour each week throughout the school year. School-based mentors dedicate twenty minutes of each hour together to academic assistance and choose a wide variety of recreational and enrichment activities on school grounds for the remainder of the hour. Jefferson County Program Results County's Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs have achieved dramatic success in •Jefferson ecruiting, enrolling, and matching caring, trustworthy, and committed adults to mentor children in their communities. The growth in mentorships is significant: 3 matches in 2004, 74 mentorships in 2005 –25 times the number of matches. At present, there are 19 children waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister. Jefferson County children in the school-based program attend the following schools: Grant Street Elementary, Mountain View Elementary and Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend; Chimacum Elementary and Chimacum Middle School in Chimacum, and Chimacum Creek Primary in Port Hadlock In February 2006 we will provide mentoring services in partnership with the Quilcene School District, as well. Our match goal for 2006 is to create and support 100 matches in Jefferson County. While we are delighted with our significant recruitment results, our Jefferson County Recruiter's success also challenges our ability to provide high quality match support services at the mentor enrollment rate of 2005. To be successful, each match requires professional case management (described below). In Jefferson County, one Program Coordinator (0.85 FTE) provides match support and directs assessment activities for each of the 74 matches. Serving 100 matches, our 2006 goal, will require the equivalent of one full-time employee dedicated to match support. Our Recruiter works half-time recruiting caring, committed, community members. Match Support Specialists make ongoing contact with the mentors, the children, and their parents/guardians and/or teachers throughout the year: 24 contacts per child per year in the community-based program; 12 per child per year in the school-based program. For an average "case load" of 100 matches, each MSS makes approximately 1,850 person-to-person contacts each year. In addition to supporting the child in the mentorships, Match Support Specialists work to give the inentors a meaningful volunteer experience, answer parent/guardian questions, and provide referrals o other County resources. Match Support Specialists also administer our Performance Outcomes Evaluation (POE) survey. The POE mirrors the instrument used across the country by other Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations to assess outcomes for children. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jefferson County 2004-2005 Project Summary page 1 of 2 Jefferson County community members have stepped forward to serve as mentors for children in need. In 2005, 74 mentors dedicated an estimated 5,244 hours to local children in one-to-one mentoring. Volunteer Mentors—While individual mentors' stories reveal the personal impact of mentoring, studies identify meaningful outcomes for mentors. These benefits include: making sense of their own past, • gaining insight into the day-to-day lives of youth, enhancing self-image (seeing themselves as competent, helpful, visionary, and loved), and improving personal health (Rhodes, 2005). Personal Impact—It is often the day-to-day comments from our mentored children, their Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and their parents that bring life to the impact of our programs. The following quotes provide a peek into their experiences. Children—Youth are referred to the program for many reasons including: behavior, poor relationships with peers, self-esteem issues, academic underperformance, or general unhappiness. One school- based mentor describes her and her Little Sister's experiences best. "I was about to meet my Little Sister. I prepared myself for the time it would take to have an elementary school girl warm up to me, but I never should have worried. Edwina was open, outgoing, and enthusiastic. The moment I met her, I realized there would be no "getting to know you"period. From the very start, it was like we'd known each other for forever.Edwina and I hung out in the computer room, drew on the chalk boards, worked on her math homework and spent time out on the playground. She proudly introduced me to all of her friends, who immediately then wanted Big Sisters themselves. I was Edwina's buddy, and as I got to know her, I came to realize how badly she needed a buddy. She was always very open about the events going on in her life. She'd seen violence. She'd seen drug abuse. She'd gone through at least 3 or 4 dads. Edwina had two sides to her life—a tough side and a happy side. By being her Big Sister, I helped make her life at school the happy part. As our time together progressed, Edwina's teacher told me how she improved in math, became more • focused, and had a better attention span. The best part, though, was hearing about how her personality changed. By having a Big Sister, Edwina began to show that she had a happy spirit. " Mentors—The power of our mentoring program is manifest in simple acts that nurture trust, respect, and fun. "When you ask me my favorite memory with Damian this year, it's hard to choose just one.

Teachers—Teachers see the impact of Big Brothers and Big Sisters as they appear at their classroom doors. They also see positive changes in mentored students' behavior, class participation, social interactions, and academic performance. One teacher's words capture the types of changes repeated in classrooms across King, Pierce, and Jefferson Counties. "I have three students who have benefited tremendously from having a Big Sister. The first is an only child who came to my class with few social skills and little awareness of the world. The impact on her friendships and academic performance was significant, and she developed into a truly cheerful young lady. The second student had few strong attachments and very low self esteem. She made some breakthroughs with her Big Sister, and I am sure that the strength of their relationship contributed to • them. I have seen a lot of growth from the last student. She has become more involved in class, completes far more work, and now takes pride in her accomplishments." Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jefferson County 2004-2005 Project Summary page 2 of 2 Jefferson County community members have stepped forward to serve as mentors for children in need. In 2005, 74 mentors dedicated an estimated 5,244 hours to local children in one-to-one mentoring. Volunteer Mentors—While individual mentors' stories reveal the personal impact of mentoring, studies identify meaningful outcomes for mentors. These benefits include: making sense of their own past, • gaining insight into the day-to-day lives of youth, enhancing self-image (seeing themselves as competent, helpful, visionary, and loved), and improving personal health (Rhodes, 2005). Personal Impact—It is often the day-to-day comments from our mentored children, their Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and their parents that bring life to the impact of our programs. The following quotes provide a peek into their experiences. Children—Youth are referred to the program for many reasons including: behavior, poor relationships with peers, self-esteem issues, academic underperformance, or general unhappiness. One school- based mentor describes her and her Little Sister's experiences best. "I was about to meet my Little Sister. I prepared myself for the time it would take to have an elementary school girl warm up to me, but I never should have worried. Edwina was open, outgoing, and enthusiastic. The moment I met her, I realized there would be no "getting to know you"period. From the very start, it was like we'd known each other for forever.Edwina and I hung out in the computer room, drew on the chalk boards, worked on her math homework and spent time out on the playground. She proudly introduced me to all of her friends, who immediately then wanted Big Sisters themselves. I was Edwina's buddy, and as I got to know her, I came to realize how badly she needed a buddy. She was always very open about the events going on in her life. She'd seen violence. She'd seen drug abuse. She'd gone through at least 3 or 4 dads. Edwina had two sides to her life—a tough side and a happy side. By being her Big Sister, I helped make her life at school the happy part. As our time together progressed, Edwina's teacher told me how she improved in math, became more • focused, and had a better attention span. The best part, though, was hearing about how her personality changed. By having a Big Sister, Edwina began to show that she had a happy spirit. " Mentors—The power of our mentoring program is manifest in simple acts that nurture trust, respect, and fun. "When you ask me my favorite memory with Damian this year, it's hard to choose just one. I love to play basketball with him. I love it when he smiles when I come into his classroom. I love his drawings of motorcycles. He is a great spirit! I know that sometimes, you just need to "be"with another person. Even if no words are spoken,just knowing that someone cares for you is enough. Dedication is a hard thing. It takes time and effort.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jefferson County 2004-2005 Project Summary page 2 of 2 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Jefferson County 2004-2005 Project Summary Prepared by Janet Heuback_Big Brothers Big Sisters of King and Pierce Counties liroject Results Summary: Community-based and school-based matches increased dramatically from 26 active matches in June 2005 to 74 children being served by December 31, 2005 in Jefferson County. We now partner with three Jefferson County school districts; Port Townsend, Chimacum and, Quilcene. In a one-year period, our 74 mentors will dedicate an estimated 5,106 hours to Jefferson County children in one-to-one mentoring. This non-paid program activity is valued at $88,895 (Independent Sector, 2005, based on a $17.41 per hour volunteer value for Washington State). Mission—Big Brothers Big Sisters of King and Pierce Counties partners with actively involved community members to match caring adults with children, both of whom benefit from our one-to-one mentoring programs. Purpose—Our purpose is to help children, living primarily in single-adult families with below poverty income, to build the developmental assets necessary to manage daily challenges, succeed in school, and create promising futures. Programs—Community-based mentors meet with their Little Brother or Little Sister for 3-4 hours per week, 3-4 times a month for one year. During their time together, the pair chooses activities that are mutually enjoyable (rollerblading, camping, rock climbing, watching a movie, going to the Pacific Science Center, etc.). School-based mentors meet with their Little Brothers and Little Sisters for one hour each week throughout the school year. School-based mentors dedicate twenty minutes of each hour together to academic assistance and choose a wide variety of recreational and enrichment activities on school grounds for the remainder of the hour. Jefferson County Program Results County's Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs have achieved dramatic success in •Jefferson ecruiting, enrolling, and matching caring, trustworthy, and committed adults to mentor children in their communities. The growth in mentorships is significant: 3 matches in 2004, 74 mentorships in 2005– 25 times the number of matches. At present, there are 19 children waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister. Jefferson County children in the school-based program attend the following schools: Grant Street Elementary, Mountain View Elementary and Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend; Chimacum Elementary and Chimacum Middle School in Chimacum, and Chimacum Creek Primary in Port Hadlock In February 2006 we will provide mentoring services in partnership with the Quilcene School District, as well. Our match goal for 2006 is to create and support 100 matches in Jefferson County. While we are delighted with our significant recruitment results, our Jefferson County Recruiter's success also challenges our ability to provide high quality match support services at the mentor enrollment rate of 2005. To be successful, each match requires professional case management (described below). In Jefferson County, one Program Coordinator (0.85 FTE) provides match support and directs assessment activities for each of the 74 matches. Serving 100 matches, our 2006 goal, will require the equivalent of one full-time employee dedicated to match support. Our Recruiter works half-time recruiting caring, committed, community members. Match Support Specialists make ongoing contact with the mentors, the children, and their parents/guardians and/or teachers throughout the year: 24 contacts per child per year in the community-based program; 12 per child per year in the school-based program. For an average "case load" of 100 matches, each MSS makes approximately 1,850 person-to-person contacts each year. In addition to supporting the child in the mentorships, Match Support Specialists work to give the 'mentors a meaningful volunteer experience, answer parent/guardian questions, and provide referrals o other County resources. Match Support Specialists also administer our Performance Outcomes Evaluation (POE) survey. The POE mirrors the instrument used across the country by other Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations to assess outcomes for children.

Scientific reports on early childhood development suggest that social and emotional devel- opment is a strong predictor of school performance and a child's overall ability to thrive."2 Experts agree that children who are emotionally well-adjusted have a significantly greater chance of achieving success in school compared with those who have emotional difficulties.3'4 The benefits of good infant mental health extend beyond school.Evidence shows that the development of healthy social and emotional skills in the early years make it possible for adults later in life to form intimate relationships,effectively care for their own children, and hold a job. Cost-benefit analyses confirm that nurturing young children's social,emotional, and behavioral skills through quality early educational programming produces an economic return to society. This occurs over time through a contribution of labor force skills that generate national economic growth and lower crime rates that keep down taxpayer costs.s,s Long before they enter the workforce or begin school,young children begin to acquire social and emotional skills.They rely on parents or other primary caretakers to provide a safe envi- ronment,create positive,new experiences,and guide their emotions.Decades of research on maternal mental health show that maternal depression can impact a mother's ability to meet these needs.The condition may pose serious mental health problems for mothers and jeop- ardize their ability to provide safe,responsive, and nurturing care to their young children. • The incidence of maternal depression is high,placing many young children at risk for devel- oping mental health and behavioral problems.Yet the majority of maternal depression cases goes undetected,is left untreated,and may reach the attention of professionals only after something serious goes wrong. This paper discusses the impact of maternal depression on the social and emotional health of young children.It recommends specific steps that early childhood program and public health administrators can take to address the unmet mental health needs of mothers ultimately pro- moting the social and emotional health,school readiness, and future functioning of very young children. Fast Facts on Maternal and Infant Mental Health: • Maternal depression is a multifaceted illness that describes a range of physical and emotional changes that many mothers can have during pregnancy or after giving birth. The condition has varying consequences for a woman's mental health,her functioning as a mother,the family's functioning,and her child's development.?The term is used to describe a spectrum of conditions:prenatal depression,postpartum blues,postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. • Postpartum blues, a form of maternal depression,is considered normal.It is experienced by 50 percent to 80 percent of all mothers within the first 10 days after childbirth.8 • The Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project of 2002 found that 48 percent of mothers reported enough depressive symptoms to be considered depressed at the time of their enrollment in the project.9 • • Factors that can place mothers at risk for maternal depression include prior history of depression,family history of depression,hormonal changes experienced during pregnancy, 3 • genetics,poor environment (e.g.,food insecurity,poor housing conditions,lack of financial supports,uninvolved husband or partner), and the absence of a community net- work.10,11,12,13 • Babies depend on the emotional nurturance,protection,and stimulation that depressed mothers may not consistently provide.14 ■ Infants of clinically depressed mothers often withdraw from daily activities and avoid inter- action with caregivers,which in turn jeopardizes infant language,physical,intellectual, and emotional development. ■ Evidence of infants experiencing symptoms of depression has been found in children as young as four months of age.15 ■ Older children of mothers depressed during infancy often exhibit poor self-control,aggres- sion,poor peer relationships,and difficulty in school,increasing the likelihood of special education assignment,grade retention, and school dropout.16 Policy Recommendations: Each policy strategy is described in greater detail in the following pages. 1. Increase maternal depression awareness to providers in the health care community,early care and education, and family support. 2. Perform outreach and education to expectant and new mothers to address stigma and patient barriers. 3.Assure earlier identification of maternal depression in health care settings by addressing barriers to recognition,screening,assessment,and referral. • 4. Invest in evidenced-based interventions that improve the mother-child relationship. 5.Build a comprehensive network of community perinatal service providers to strengthen mental health in the pregnant and postpartum family. WHAT IS INFANT MENTAL HEALTH? Infant mental health is the capacity of infants and toddlers to experience,regulate,and express emotions;form close and secure interpersonal relationships;and explore the environ- ment and learn. Infant mental health is synonymous with healthy social and emotional devel- opment. Infant mental health also refers to the mental wellness of the actual caregiving rela- tionship between caregiver and child. How Does Infant Attachment Impact Development? Babies are hardwired to develop strong,emotional connections, or attachment,with their primary caregivers.The ability to attach to a significant adult allows young children to become trusting, confident, and capable of regulating stress and distress.The most important part of attachment is the quality of attachment formed, as it predicts later development. Ideally, children develop secure attachment(a healthy emotional bond) with caregivers.Infants who develop secure attachment with a primary caregiver during the early years of life are more likely to have positive relationships with peers,be liked by their teachers,perform better in school, and respond with resilience in the face of adversity as preschoolers and older children.Attachment is integral to the emotional development of the young child;17,is babies need to become attached to at least one close,trusting adult.In fact,the innate need to attach is so strong that an infant will even develop an emotional connection with inconsis- tent and insensitive caregivers if optimal care is unavailable. Infants who develop insecure attachment are at risk for a more troublesome trajectory.These children are at risk of devel- 4 oping learning delays,relationship dysfunction,difficulty expressing emotions,and future • mental health disorders. Caregiving Environment Can Shape Infant Mental Health • Infants develop in the context of relationships and are highly sensitive to the quality of care they receive from caregivers.As early as 6 weeks of age, newborns become distressed if their interpersonal relationships with caregivers are even slightly disrupted.19 ■ Research confirms that family functioning (a family's ability to cope with life stressors and its likelihood of experiencing difficulties) can promote or hinder a young child's development.20 ■ Studies show that the relationship between a mother and father influences how they both interact with their child.21 • Other family members such as grandparents, siblings,and even non-relatives who are responsive and connected to the family also positively or negatively impact the social and emotional development of young children.22 • • ENROLLMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PARTICIPANTS AND FAMILIES AT INTAKE MATERNAL EXPERIENCE OF ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS Home visitors assess at intake the extent to which participants have experienced domestic and/or family violence (i.e. physical, emotional,and/or sexual abuse)within important relationships at various times in their lives.This information is presented in Figure 3. It should be noted that domestic violence data are based on self reported information which may not be divulged until the nurse/client relationship has developed and is more trusting.All interpretation of domestic violence data should take this into account.

Since its inception,WIC has demonstrated consistent success in improving birth outcomes and child health. The nutrition assessments,counseling and education,breastfeeding support and promotion,and prenatal and pediatric health care referrals provided with NSA grants are critical to achieving these results. NSA grants also provide for efforts to ensure program integrity,properly manage WIC food vendors,and contain food costs. • State WIC agencies have been effective at significantly reducing WIC food costs,primarily through competitively bid contracts for infant formula under which formula manufacturers provide substantial rebates. These rebates saved the federal government about$1.65 billion in 2005. As a result of such cost-saving measures,the federal cost of providing WIC food over the last sixteen years has grown at only half the rate of inflation for food purchased in grocery stores. The proposed NSA cap would make it extremely difficult for states to continue to provide the current level of critical,direct client services and to pay for costs related to eligibility determinations,voucher issuance and redemptions,vendor management,and cost containment,while creating a disincentive to contain program costs. The attached letter also states our opposition to the Administration's proposals to limit Medicaid adjunctive eligibility and to require a 20%state match for nutrition services funding in fiscal year 2008. These proposals would cause irreparable harm to WIC and the mothers and children WIC serves. And,the letter states our support for essential management information systems and health outcomes research. The letter requests $188 million to redress the savings suggested in the President's request from capping NSA and Medicaid adjunctive eligibility, as well as to provide for essential management information systems and for health outcomes research.

Lynn Woolsey James Walsh Senior Democrat PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Member of Congress Subcommittee on Education Reform JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH 615 Sheridan Street • Port Townsend •Washington • 98368 • www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org Date The Honorable Henry Bonilla,Chair The Honorable Rosa DeLauro,Ranking Member House Committee on Appropriations House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture,Rural Development,Food Subcommittee on Agriculture,Rural Development,Food and Drug Administration,and Related Agencies and Drug Administration,and Related Agencies 2362 Rayburn House Office Building 1016 Longworth House Office Building Washington,DC 20515 Washington,DC 20515 Dear Chairman Bonilla and Ranking Member DeLauro: Your Subcommittee wisely rejected the Administration's proposal to cap grants for nutrition services at 25 percent of total grants to states under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,Infants and Children,known as WIC last year.We urge you to do the same this year. That funding approach was abandoned in 1989 because it proved to be a disincentive for states to reduce food costs. We believe that WIC funding policy should support efforts to reduce food costs and to encourage states to serve more people within program funding limitations. Under cupent law,Nutrition Services and Administration(NSA)grants are determined on a per-participant basis.,the per-participant amount was set in 1989 based on expenditures in 1987. Since then,it has been adjusted only for inflation. Since its inception,WIC has demonstrated consistent success in improving birth outcomes and child health. The nutrition assessments,counseling and education,breastfeeding support and promotion,and prenatal and pediatric health care referrals provided with NSA grants are critical to achieving these results. NSA grants also provide for efforts to ensure program integrity,properly manage WIC food vendors,and contain food costs. State WIC agencies have been effective at significantly reducing WIC food costs,primarily through competitively bid contracts for infant formula under which formula manufacturers provide substantial rebates. These rebates saved the federal government about$1.65 billion in 2005. As a result of such cost-saving measures,the federal cost of providing WIC food over the last sixteen years has grown at only half the rate of inflation for food purchased in grocery stores. The Administration's proposal to restore the NSA cap not only would create a disincentive for states to reduce WIC food costs and a barrier to serving more participants for the same cost,but also would reduce access to important nutrition and health services,such as immunization referrals,nutrition counseling,and breastfeeding support. A 2001 GAO report on NSA funding found that: Since the late 1980's, a number of requirements have been placed on the[WIC]program aimed at,among other things,containing the cost offood benefits,promoting hreasy'eeding,encouraging immunizations,and controlling program abuse. While these requirements have placed additional ser delivery and administrative demands on WIC staff,they have not been accompanied by more fimding per participant. The proposed NSA cap would make it extremely difficult for states to continue to provide the current level of critical,direct client services and to pay for costs related to eligibility determinations,voucher issuance and redemptions. vendor management,and cost containment,while creating a disincentive to contain program costs. We are also writing to signal our opposition to the Administration's proposal to limit Medicaid adjunctive eligibility and require a 20%state match for nutrition services funding in fiscal year 2008.WIC has been a national priority since its inception 32 years ago.States are experiencing difficulties meeting their health and social services budgets and would be unlikely to be able to provide the 20%match resulting in irreparable harm to WIC and the mothers and children WIC serves.We urge you to not support this proposal that the Administration has offered for fiscal year 2008. In conclusion,we urge you not to include an NSA cap in the Subcommittee's appropriations bill and to add$188 million to the President's budget request to redress the suggested savings in that request from capping NSA and Medicaid adjunctive eligibility,as well as to provide for essential management information systems and for health outcomes research.

By providing access to this survey data, we hope to influence the plans, choices, and decisions of individuals and organizations who plan or implement services for youth. The Goal: Increasing Access to Quality Local Data to Support Prevention Efforts and Services that Improve the Lives of Area Youth Key Survey Support Organizations We would like to recognize the people and organizations who made this report possible because they worked to provide and gather the data. It is because of the willingness of area public school students, who participated in the Healthy Youth Survey 2004, that we have any data at all. Students had the opportunity to participate due to the time and effort of area public school staff, school district support and assistance provided by the Educational Service District 114 serving Jefferson County. Numerous local and state agencies provided the financial resources, technical assistance, and project oversight that was needed to assure that the Healthy Youth Survey process was conducted successfully in the State of Washington. Agencies that sit on the Joint Survey Planning Committee (JSPC) and govern the survey planning process are the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Social and Health Services' Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (DASA), Office of Community Development (OCD), Family Policy Council (FPC), and the contractor, RMC Research Corporation. Without these organizations, state and county level data on these valuable topics would not have been available to for Jefferson County to use.

In order to make the best use of resources, data is often used to factually inform plans, choices and decisions about what services should be provided. How do we gather data on youth behaviors and beliefs? When it comes to youth and their behavior and beliefs, a narrow amount of data exists about education, health, and social issues that affect them. Surveys can be a helpful way to provide new information, as well as enhance the context in which we view existing available data. For example, we may know how many youth are arrested each year for being in possession of alcohol, but we do not know how many youth drink alcohol regularly unless we ask them. How often is the Healthy Youth Survey administered? I The Healthy Youth Survey is scheduled to be given every 2 years with the next survey occurring in Fall 2006. For more detailed information about the background of the survey, visit the Washington State Department of Health Healthy Youth Survey website at http://www3.doh.wa.gov/HYS/default.htm How representative is this survey of youth in Jefferson County? The Jefferson County Public School participation rates by grade are as follows: Grade 6-75%; Grade 8-72%; Grade 10-61%; Grade 12-56%. Are students required to participate? Students are informed of the purpose of the survey and that their participation is voluntary. If interested in seeing how these assurances are explained, please see Appendix H-Survey Forms. 1 Does this report compare schools within the same county? This report only presents county-level and state-level data. Did all school districts in Jefferson County participate? Chimacum, Port Townsend and Quilcene School Districts participated in the survey. Due to small numbers of enrolled students in participating grades, Brinnon and Queets-Clearwater School Districts did not participate. For additional information about student participation, please see Appendix C-About Student Participants. How does Jefferson County compare to other rural counties or Washington State as a whole? All fact sheets contain Jefferson County/Washington State comparisons. To see how Jefferson County compares to other counties, visit the Washington State Department of Health Healthy Youth Survey website at http://www3.doh.wa.gov/HYS/default.htm Why are confidence intervals displayed on some items and not on others? To simplify data presentation, on some items responses have been grouped. In those instances, confidence intervals were not provided by the state. For additional information about confidence ' intervals, please see Appendix B-About the Data. Does this report cover all items that are covered in the survey? Limited time, talent and resources prohibited analysis of all items covered on the Healthy Youth Survey. Placeholders have been included in the report to note fact sheets that will be prepared during the next few months and posted at http://www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.orq. Additionally, Appendix E- Additional Items lists items not presented in this report. How can I get data on items that are not covered in this report?

Jefferson count Public School Students Res and Survey Overview Why Gather Data? Numerous local organizations use funding that comes from taxpayers via local, state or federal government sources to provide services to area youth and/or their families. As stewards of public monies, many organizations strive to use these funds to address key issues in the geographic area they serve or key needs among specific groups of people they serve. In order to make the best use of resources, data is often used to factually inform plans, choices and decisions about what services should be provided. Data can be defined as a set of facts or statements collected in a standard way. When data is organized, it becomes usable information. Many organizations have legal or contractual obligations that require them to review or collect relevant data to document community needs and results of service activities. To be competitive in securing funding for services in local communities, access to data and using data to create profiles of people living a particular community is a typical requirement. Data is used in organizations to assist with five key functions: providing accountability, securing funding, providing direction, documenting services, and demonstrating outcomes. Why do a Survey? There are many different ways to gather data. A survey is one commonly used way in which information about a specific group of people and topic of interest is gathered. Surveys can provide a scientifically sound and proven way to gather dependable data. Surveys are often used when there are no other existing sources of information available on the people or topic of interest. When it comes to youth and their behavior and beliefs, a narrow amount of data exists about education, health, and social issues that affect them. Surveys can be a helpful way to provide new information, as well as to enhance the context in which we view existing available data. For example, we may know how many youth are arrested each year for being in possession of alcohol, but we do not know how many youth drink alcohol regularly unless we ask them. Why do This Survey? The Healthy Youth Survey was conducted to gather reliable and current data about the perceptions, behaviors, and influences of youth on key topics affecting them. Data resulting from this survey feeds into many processes and planning efforts across the State of Washington. This survey targets public school students in 6th Stn 10th and 12th grades. The survey is conducted so that state level data is consistently available. When enough students from a county participate in the survey, data may then be available at that geographic level. The Fall of 2002 was the first year in which a broad comprehensive survey of youth issues was completed in Washington State. In previous years, different state agencies asked public school students to complete smaller and more topic focused surveys. By request of the Governor, state agencies formed a planning group to consolidate survey efforts so that one, rather than several youth surveys, was done statewide. The planning group gathered input from organizations around the state to help them design the 2002 survey process. The Fall of 2004 was the second time the survey was given. The Healthy Youth Survey is scheduled to be given every 2 years with the next survey occurring in Fall 2006. For more detailed information about the background of the survey, visit the Washington State Department of Health Healthy Youth website at http://www3.doh.wa.gov/HYS/default.htm Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org 145 Protecting Surveyed Youth Accepted and standard survey methods were used with the Healthy Youth Survey. These standards required that individuals responding to a survey be guaranteed anonymity and choice. Students who took the survey were given the assurance that their individual identity would not be connected to their answers and that their answers could not be traceable back to them. Students were informed of the purpose of the survey and told that it was completely voluntary to take it. If interested in seeing how these assurances were explained to survey takers, please see Appendix H which contains the actual survey forms used and look at their cover pages. This survey, as with many other surveys, was reviewed by a state board called the Washington State Institutional Review Board (WSIRB). The WSIRB reviews survey content, assures that procedures in the process are appropriate, and strives to assure that people who are surveyed are protected. For more information about the WSIRB, visit the Washington State Department of Health & Social Services Department website at http://wwwl.dshs.wa.gov/rda/hrrs/default.shtm Content of the Survey The Healthy Youth Survey was designed to collect unavailable or inaccessible data on key topics including: * Alcohol, Tobacco, Other Drug Use * Other Health Concerns such as Nutrition, Fitness, Health Care, Safety, Injury, and Depression * School Climate, which addresses the learning environment of schools * Quality of Life for youth * Risk and Protective Factors, which are associated with key youth problems such as substance use. The content and questions for the survey were taken from or based on other well known national youth surveys. Surveys used to develop the Healthy Youth survey forms were: Monitoring the Future, Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Communities That Care, Youth Tobacco Survey, and the PRIDE survey. Input from numerous organizations was used to finalize the questions asked of students and to assure the data gathered met as many data needs as possible. Key Elements of the Survey The survey is designed to allow youth to self-report behavior, perceptions, and influences. Several steps were taken when the Healthy Youth Survey was given to try and improve the quality of data being reported. Students taking the survey completed it during one class period on one specific day to eliminate the possibility of students discussing the survey's content. Prior to filling out the survey, students were asked to take the survey process seriously and answer questions honestly. When survey data from schools came back from across the state, it was screened. Data screening included a check for honesty, through the use of questions that could point this out, and for inconsistent/incomplete answers. Surveys that showed problems of high concern were not considered valid which means they were not used to produce the findings in this report. Survey Forms Three different survey forms were used with the Healthy Youth survey. One form was specifically created for students in Grade 6. Two forms were created for use with students in Grades 8, 10 and 12. The 6th grade survey form had about 1/3 fewer questions than the forms for older students; it included some of the same basic questions asked of older students. Two forms were created for Grades 8, 10 and 12 primarily to address the issue of survey length. With numerous agencies involved in designing a broad survey asking questions that met numerous data needs, the number of questions chosen for inclusion were too extensive for a single survey form. Half of students in 8th, 10`h, and 12th grade received one form of the survey (Form A) and the other a different form (Form B). Both forms contained a basic or core set of questions asked of all students, however Form A primarily focused on Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health www.jeffersoncountvpublichealth.org 146 I substance use and Form B health in general. All forms used in the 2004 survey process can be found in Appendix H.

The methods used to collect, analyze, and report data influence the way it is best understood or the context in which it is best used. Data caveats are underlying issues or circumstances that may affect the way in which the data could be viewed or used. In this report there ' are three general caveats and several data display issues to be aware of. 1. The Students Represented by the Survey: For the Healthy Youth Survey, only public school students in Grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 were selected to participate in the process. Private school students and home-school students were not included in the survey. The survey therefore does not represent all youth in the grades selected, but only those in public education settings. In 2004, approximately 97% of all students (kindergarten through 12th grade) in Jefferson County were enrolled in a public school. Students served in alternative, correctional, or vocational public school settings were asked to participate in the survey. However, students in these categories did not participate as fully as students in traditional school settings. An additional group of students that may have been less likely to participate in the 12th grade survey were Running Start students. Running Start students attend all or a portion of their classes at a local community college campus, which means that many may not have been present when the survey was given. Students who dropped out of school were not included in the survey because the survey was school-based. 1 Dropping out of school has been associated with some of the issues of concern in this survey, such as substance abuse, which may mean that troubling behaviors may be slightly under-reported. In the 2003-2004 school year, about 8.5% of students between grades 9-12 dropped out of public school in Jefferson County. For more information on school enrollment or dropout data, visit the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Schools website at http://www.k12.wa.us/dataadmin/ 2. Language of Survey: The survey was primarily given in English, however other language versions of the survey were developed. Guidance on how to address student language issues was not given to participating schools uniformly from the state rather, local arrangements were made to address language barriers. The way in which accommodations were addressed for students who have difficulty with English is not known and may vary. Approximately 5% of Jefferson County students completing the Healthy Youth survey said that a language other than English was usually spoken at home. This figure closely mirrors findings from Census 2000 which showed about 8% of the county's residential population spoke a language other than English at home. 3. Level of Participation by Grade: County level data is included in this report for all grades. The planning group overseeing the survey determined that 70% of students in each grade of interest needed to complete a survey to met the ideal participation standard set for Healthy Youth. If this standard was met it helps assure the data collected truly represents youth across the county. When a participation standard fell between the 40-69% range, it may still have been suitable for use, but needed to be examined first to determine how representative it was. For more information about student participation, please see Appendix C—About Student Participants. The Jefferson County participation rates by grade are as follows: Grade 6-75%; Grade 8-72%; Grade 10-61%; Grade 12-56% I Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org 148 I I Data Display Issues Several decisions were made when designing this report around the display and arrangement of data from the Healthy Youth Survey. It may be helpful to the reader to know more about these choices and how they affect the data that is presented. * Percentages not Counts Data from the survey was presented as percentages (for example 10%) rather than counts (for example 200 students). It is more helpful to know a percentage than a count because it is generally easier for people to use data presented this way. Percentages provide a way to make comparisons between answers to questions or differences between age groups. For example, if we know that 400 12th grade students said they used marijuana in the past month, that is all we know. Rather than report this number, we report that 23% used marijuana. By knowing this figure we can use mathematics to work out other things such as, this means about 1 in 4 grade 12 students used marijuana and that 77% or 3 in 4 did not use marijuana. We can also compare this percentage to another, such as recent use of alcohol, and see which substance 12th graders are more likely to use. The formula used to calculate percentages follows: Number of People with a Specific Answer– Divided by Total Number of People Answering the Question – Multiplied by 100 (Number/Total X 100). * Rounding Data from the survey was presented as percentages rounded to the nearest whole number, for example 77% or 5%. It is possible to display percentages using whole numbers with decimal points (for example 77.3% or 5.1%). However, the choice was made to round all figures to the nearest whole number(for example 77.3% rounded becomes 77%)for this report because it is easier for most people 1 to use rounded data. This rounding standard meant that any percentage that was 0.1-0.4 above a number(for example 33.1%)would be rounded down to the nearest whole number(for example 33%). Any percentage that was 0.5-0.9 (for example 22.9%)would be rounded up to the nearest whole number(for example 23%). When percentages are rounded it can affect how a series of answers appears to add up. Each survey question should have answers that add up to 100%which means they account for all of the given 1 answers. In this report it is possible to see percentages accounting for slightly more or less than 100% (101% or 99%) due solely to rounding. Below is an example drawn from the report which illustrates how this can happen. The data sheet titled "Social Support: Get Along With Parents" appears to show that 101% of Jefferson County 8th grade students provided answers. 0 to 3(Not True) 12% 12.0% I 4 to 6 17% 16.5% 7 to 10(True) 73% 72.6% Total 101% 101.1% In general, it is easier for data users to respond and work with whole numbers which is why this decision was made. The data in this report is accurate regardless of the type of rounding used to produce graphs and tables. If interested in accessing un-rounded data, please contact Kellie Ragan, Assessment Coordinator—Jefferson County Public Health, using the contact information provided at the end of this section. * Combining Survey Answers In the report, some tables included data that was obtained by combining question answers. The choice to combine answers was made primarily for the following reasons: A)to collapse a long list of possible answers into a more user-friendly set of answers, B)the given breakdown of answers was not particularly meaningful, and C) combined answers provided more instructive data for graphing or developing highlight statements for the topic. �._.....-Tx..7 t P...;:.A»' Sx'M'y,..6 3f r. <,..9/w T"..r.. :.. ::'. `+ ::.✓ 1'R :s " .— -...a;6^-?-..1:'..e<, o:..ik.' s„ — .x':..$h9....::..,<K,S.e•::.: Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org 149 I I Examples of situations were this might have occurred are as follows: A. When asking students if they had ever used a particular drug, it is helpful to know if they started using at an early age. Therefore, data was organized to also include a category showing the percentage of youth who first tried the drug of interest by age "12 or younger". B. A series of questions asked students to choose from the following answer format NO!, no, yes, YES! An explanation of the difference between these answers (no versus NO!) is given at the beginning of the survey, but can be found nowhere near the actual questions using the answer format. Due to this survey design issue, all questions using this answer format were collapsed to show only whether a student said No or Yes. C. With some questions it seemed useful to create a new category that summarized the percentage of students who had used a substance "any" time in the last month rather than just knowing they used once or even five times over a month. By creating the "any" category, a more descriptive graph and highlights section could then be developed. If interested in seeing the original question answer options used in the survey, please see Appendix H—Survey Forms. If interested in accessing data by the original answer option breakdowns, please contact Kellie Ragan, Assessment Coordinator—Jefferson County Public Health, using the contact information provided at the end of this section. * Missing 6th Graders When using data in the report, several topics have no data listed for 6th grade students. If these students are missing from tables and graphs it is due to one of following reasons: A) the question was not asked of 6th grade students on their survey form or B)the question 6th graders were asked differed enough in how it was worded from the one asked of older students that the answers were incomparable. The 6th grade survey had fewer questions than the 8th, 10th and 12th grade survey forms, which means that less data was collected overall for this group. Students in 6th grade were asked several similar but differently worded questions in the Healthy Youth Survey. Question wording greatly affects how individuals respond which in turn may affect the percentages assigned to answers. Results were included from the 6th grade survey if the same basic question wording was asked of all students. An example of inconsistent wording can be found in a I question that asked about seriously considering suicide. Students in 6th were asked if they had ever seriously "thought about killing themselves", however students in 8th, 10th and 12th grade were asked if they ever seriously "considered attempting suicide". The wording used two different ways of talking about suicide and could yield different answers. Data is available on questions not included in this report but asked of 6th grade students. If interested in viewing the 6th Grade survey, please see Appendix H and review Survey Form C. If interested in obtaining data for survey questions not included in the report, please contact Kellie Ragan, Assessment Coordinator—Jefferson County Public Health, using the contact information provided at the end of this section. IEstimates and Confidence Intervals When surveys are conducted, a segment or portion of the population of interest is selected to be surveyed. This is done because the population of interest is rarely small enough to realistically survey everyone. Due to advances in science and statistics, every member of the population of interest does not have to be surveyed to assure that answers reflecting the whole group are obtained. If quality scientific methods are used, such as randomly selecting participants, we can then take the answers of the people who were surveyed and generalize them to describe the entire population of interest. Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org 150 I I Surveys produce estimates, that is an approximate calculation of the true answer. When estimates are produced, an additional statistical calculation is usually done to generate Confidence Intervals. Confidence Intervals give you a range with which to surround your estimate. This range or confidence interval tells you that if everyone was surveyed, not just your sample, the true answer to the question of interest would be highly likely to fall within it. If you picked a different sample of people it is very likely that the way they answer may slightly vary. Confidence Intervals help to quantify this possible variation. An example of how Confidence Intervals are used follows: when 6th grade students were surveyed 9% said they had been told by a doctor that they had asthma. If you are really interested in knowing what all 6`h grade students would say, not just your sample, use the confidence interval associated with the survey answer of interest. In this case that would mean between 8-10% of all students in 6th grade had been told by a doctor that they had asthma because the confidence interval was ±1% (which means you add and subtract 1% from the 9% figure). The purpose of a confidence interval is to allow you to develop a range where the true answer lies—the answer that would be given if every single person of interest was surveyed. For more information about survey methods, confidence intervals for the questions asked, or about confidence intervals in general, please contact Kellie Ragan, Assessment Coordinator—Jefferson County Public Health using the contact information provided at the end of this section. Baseline Data and Past Surveys The Healthy Youth Survey 2002 was best viewed as baseline data. Baseline can be described as the point or line from which change over time begins to be measured. For example, in 2002 we knew that 1 30% of surveyed county 8th grade students felt sad or hopeless. In 2004, 34% said they felt sad or hopeless, allowing a comparison of changes in data over time. Being able to compare data trends over time is very important to organizations that provide services or programs geared towards producing positive change. Being able to measure change over time, that is movement from the baseline, helps to determine whether any long term measurable effects are being seen in actual student behavior or perceptions. ' Due to the differences in how the 2002 youth survey was conducted compared to previous youth surveys, we suggest that data from 2002 be used as a baseline. If there is a need to compare this data to previous or other surveys covering similar issues, we suggest that care be taken. When previously conducted youth surveys are compared to the Healthy Youth Survey 2002, numerous differences in how they were organized and what process was used to conduct them can be found. Examples of the differences between youth surveys include: the forms and questions were provided in different ways to students (in 1992 schools were allowed to volunteer to be part of the survey compared to other years where only randomly selected schools could participate) and different standards were assigned to determine when a county received county level data (for Healthy Youth 70% of students had to participate to be considered valid for the county but in other years only 50% of students participated and county data was made available).

About Survey Participation and Generalization An important purpose of conducting a survey is to determine, in general, what is occurring among a specific group of people. Surveys allow you to generalize, that is to make assumptions about a whole group based on answers from a portion of the group. To assist users of the data, a guideline was developed to establish how much student participation should be seen before generalizations about the whole group are made. A participation guideline or goal is generally adopted and defined for all survey processes. For the Healthy Youth Survey, the student participation rate was calculated using the number of students that were enrolled in public schools at the grade of interest and the number of students that returned a valid survey. All surveys are reviewed for completeness and integrity of the responses. Surveys that meet I the criteria for this review are labeled valid. An example of a survey that would not be valid is where the majority of answers were missing. Additionally, in this survey, students were asked if they answered it honestly. Students who said they were not honest when completing the survey would have their surveys pulled, and their answers are not be included in the findings of this report. For this survey, it was determined that a minimum participation rate of 70% of all students within each of the four grades would most likely assure the findings were representative and generalizable to all students in the county. In essence, when participation rates reached this level for the survey there was a reasonable belief that answers from any missing students would most likely not change the findings. For this survey, it was determined that a student participation rate of 40-69% may be representative of all students in the county. As an extra measure of assurance, the data was reviewed to see what types of students or schools did not participate at all or had low participation. In looking at missing schools or low participation schools, a judgment can be made about whether or not they differed substantially from those who took the survey. Student Participation Standards Jefferson County student participation in the Healthy Youth Survey 2004 met the 70% and above guideline standard for grades 6 and 8. A participation rate of 70% or greater is highly likely to be representative of all students in the county for the grades of interest. A review of the schools and students that did not participate showed that those missing did not greatly differ demographically (for example, racially or ethnically)from those who took the survey. Jefferson County student participation among grades 10 and 12 fell below the 70% standard but within the 40-69% standard. A participation rate in this range means that the results may be representative of all students in the county in the grades of interest. A review of non-participating schools showed that the main difference between those that did and did not participate in the survey was the type of school setting. Students in alternative schools or juvenile correction facility schools were less likely to have participated in the survey. Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health www.ieffersoncountvpublichealth.org 152 I I In 2004, about 56% of all students in 12th grade completed the survey. However, the school type was more likely to account for who was missing from the findings. Students in alternative, vocational, or I juvenile correction facility schools were less likely to have participated in the 12th grade survey. It is also important to note that Running Start students may not be included in the survey. Though counted in enrollment numbers, these students are off the main school grounds a portion or all of the school day taking classes at the community college campus.

Demographics such as the sex, racial identity, and age can help those using the survey data. The Healthy Youth Survey asks Istudents in 6'n 8th 10th and 12`h grade a basic set of questions to capture how they describe themselves demographically. These questions include: How old are you?, Are you female or male?, and How do you describe yourself(racially)? IPublic schools students can vary widely in age, particularly for those in high school grades. Schools are able to serve students up to the age of 21 in various programs such as special education and in the ' alternative school setting.

An unusually high percentage of students chose to select the "other" race category. It may be helpful to know that ethnic identity and racial identity are often difficult for people to separate.
