Community Level Outcomes Data - Monitoring the Impact of the 1/10th of 1% Investments
The following pages offer a snapshot of key community-level outcomes that are related to the
intended goals of the one tenth of one percent sales tax for mental health and chemical
dependency. For each outcome measure, current status and trend over time are presented.
These measures are by no means the only measures related to the goals of this sales tax, but
they represent available and reliable data. The intention of the investment of the sales tax fund is
to contribute to the positive impact of prevention and treatment services in order to improve the
community outcomes included in this report and others.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questions assess emotional experiences as children - exposure to violence, drug and
alcohol abuse, mental illness, and detachment. ACE studies have documented that ACEs are related to adult emotional health
and physical health. ACE studies have found adult health conditions related to what happened in childhood: smoking, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, drug use, hepatitis, heart disease, fractures, diabetes, obesity, alcoholism,
occupational health, job performance.*
The ACE score groups (0-3 and 4+) are about the same among adults in Jefferson County, Washington State and Family Support
Clients. On average, Jefferson County and WA State adults reported just under 2 ACEs while Family Support Program clients
reported on average 3 ACEs.

Note: The domestic violence-related offenses, per 1,000 persons. Domestic violence includes any violence of one family member against another
family member. Family can include spouses, former spouses, parents who have children in common regardless of marital status, adults who live in the
same household, as well as parents and their children.
Offenses differ from arrests. While funding and grants are associated with participation, reporting is not mandatory. Offenses are incidence reporting.
When more than one victim is involved an offence is filed for each victim. Multiple property violations performed at the same incident are counted as
one offence. However when both types of events happen, only the victim incidents are reported as offenses. Offenses focus on the nature of the
crime, while arrests focus on the apprehended accused perpetrator. Many offenses occur without arresting perpetrators.
Denominators are adjusted by subtracting the population of police agencies that did not report offenses. In spite of this population adjustment, when
the non-reporting police jurisdiction is where much of the crime occurs, the rate for the county will be lower than it would be if that jurisdiction was
included. For percent subtracted and the agencies not reporting, see the appendix on Non-Reporting Agencies and Population. Suppression code
definitions for yearly rates are explained in Technical Notes.

Note: The children (age birth-17) identified as victims in reports to Child Protective Services that were accepted for
further action, per 1,000 children (age birth-17). Children are counted more than once if they are reported as a victim
more than once during the year. A "referral" is a report of suspected child abuse. Numbers may differ due to
corrections or changes in location definition made in the database extraction process. Child location is derived from
the residence at the time of referral. Suppression code definitions for yearly rates are explained in Technical Notes.

Note: The arrests of younger adolescents (age 10-14) for alcohol and drug law violations, per 1,000 adolescents (age 10-
14). Alcohol violations include all crimes involving driving under the influence, liquor law violations, and drunkenness. For
children, arrests for liquor law violations are usually arrests for minor in possession. Drug law violations include all crimes
involving sale, manufacturing, and possession of drugs.
1) Denominators are adjusted by subtracting the population of police agencies that did not report arrests to Uniform Crime
Report (UCR). In spite of this population adjustment, when the non-reporting police jurisdiction is where much of the crime
occurs, the rate for the county will be lower than it would be if that jurisdiction was included. For percent subtracted,
suppression code definitions and the agencies not reporting, see the Technical Notes and the appendix on Non-Reporting
Agencies and Population.
2) The DUI portion of this measure is likely understated, because arrests made by the State Patrol are not attributable to
counties. State Patrol arrests are included in the state rates.

The number of homeless students reported might be underestimated as reporting homelessness to the school is not required. Differences in data collection by
school likely. These data only represent one homeless experience per individual – students who are homeless more than once during the school year are only
counted one time.

Definition: The proportion is the annual number of deaths, with alcohol- or drug-related causes, per 100 deaths. Evaluation
is based on all contributory causes of death for direct and indirect associations with alcohol and drug abuse.
Alcohol and drug related deaths includes all contributing causes of death. In 2007-09
each year on average 45 Jefferson County resident deaths were related to drugs or
alcohol, that's about 1 in every 7 deaths. The proportion of all Jefferson deaths that were
alcohol or drug related was statistically worse than WA in 2007-09. The Jefferson and
Washington rates have been statistically worsening since 1998-00.
