Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Nevada's Underage Drinking Prevention Grant
The Grant to Support Prevention and Reduction Activities of Underage Drinking, funded by the Federal Government, aims to prevent and reduce alcohol use among youth and young adults aged 12 to 20 in Nevada. The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, in collaboration with regional partners, has identified key priority outcomes to measure the success of this grant.
Targeting High-Risk Areas: Rural Nevada and Tribal Communities
Nevada's vast rural areas and tribal communities face unique challenges in preventing underage drinking. The state's frontier counties, such as Esmeralda and Nye, have limited access to healthcare services and substance abuse treatment programs. To address this, the grant will focus on implementing evidence-based interventions in these high-risk areas. For example, the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health has partnered with the Nevada Rural Hospital Partners to provide training and technical assistance on Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) in rural hospitals and clinics. By targeting these areas, the grant aims to reduce the prevalence of underage drinking and related consequences, such as motor vehicle crashes and violent behavior.
Reducing Underage Drinking-Related Consequences in Clark and Washoe Counties
Clark and Washoe counties, which account for the majority of Nevada's population, will also be a priority focus for the grant. These urban areas face distinct challenges, including high rates of underage drinking and related consequences. To address this, the grant will support community-based initiatives that promote awareness and education about the risks of underage drinking. For instance, the Las Vegas Grants Office has collaborated with local law enforcement agencies to implement compliance checks and shoulder tap operations to deter retailers from selling alcohol to minors. By reducing underage drinking-related consequences in these counties, the grant aims to create a safer and healthier environment for Nevada's youth.
The Nevada Governor's Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse is also playing a crucial role in guiding the state's underage drinking prevention efforts. By leveraging the expertise and resources of this council, the grant will be able to achieve its priority outcomes more effectively.
As Nevada works to address the issue of underage drinking, it is clear that a data-driven approach is essential. According to the Nevada Youth Risk Behavior Survey, in 2019, 29.4% of high school students reported drinking alcohol in the past 30 days. By using data to inform grant strategies and interventions, Nevada can make meaningful progress in reducing underage drinking.
Applicants for this grant in Nevada should be aware of the state's specific needs and priorities. Nevada is seeking innovative and effective solutions to address the issue of underage drinking, particularly in rural and tribal areas. By understanding the state's priority outcomes and target areas, applicants can develop proposals that are tailored to Nevada's unique needs.
