Community Assessment; Hillsboro, OR
The technical definition of a community assessment is; an evaluative study that uses objective data to assess the current social conditions of a specified community or targeted area. We are trying to do just that, but more specifically with regards to alcohol and drug use in Hillsboro youth.
In facilitating a community assessment, HEY! wanted to help address the growing concerns of substance use by our youth. We wanted to help define our communities needs, address gaps in current resources, and establish a baseline for our work.
In 2009 a community assessment committee collected, analyzed, and evaluated data from the greater Hillsboro area about youth attitudes and behaviors regarding substance use and abuse. Local, state and national demographic information was reviewed. Included in the assessment were responses from high school Student Focus Groups and Key Informant interviews with school counselors and administrators, law enforcement agency officials, Washington County Juvenile Department staff, and substance abuse treatment professionals. Also included is information and data about local and school policies related to youth substance abuse.
Below you will find the link to a PDF version of our 2009 Report on youth substance abuse. We hope you find this information engaging and if you’d like to get more information, or find out how you can get involved, please contact us!
