Oversight of Prevention Services are provided through the Washtenaw
County Public Health Department. Providers deliver services to priority
populations through the use of evidenced-based programming (link to CSAP -
central substance abuse prevention) a division of SAMHSA. Services are
provided across both counties and in a variety of venues; such as schools,
community coalitions, after-school programming and other community sites.
Its mission is to provide county citizens with the tools and means to make
healthy choices and to mitigate the effects of challenges to their

Strategic Prevention Framework
The Livingston Washtenaw Substance Abuse Coordinating Agency (CA)
received a Michigan Department of Community Health/Office of Drug Control
Policy Strategic Prevention Freamework State Incentive Grant (SPF-SIG) to
address the federal initiative of reducing underage drinking. This
process involved bringing together community stakeholders to form a
Community Epidemiological Workgroup (CEW) to examine data that identifies
contributing factors and conequence of use factors. Alcohol related
crash deaths was selected by the State as a key indicator for consequence of
use. The CEW also found that traffic crash data was also a key
indicator in our region. "Undersage and Under the Influence" Chartbook
2008 presents the results of the data reviewed by the CEW. The CA has
convened a Community Strategic Prevention Planning Collaborative (CSPPC)
consissting of members of the CEW and others to continue to review ongoing
data, programming needs and make recommendations to the Substance Abuse
Advisory Council and the WCHO Board. The CA has designated Dexter and
Pinckney communities as the leads in developing and implementing a community
wide approach to reducing underage drinking.
