3. Public Comment.
Citizen Carla Hokstra of Bend said she has been talking with Commissioner
Baney regarding a problem she has often noticed of dogs being left in cars
during hot weather. She explained that people get defensive or brush her off if
she says anything about it, although animals can die in hot cars. She called 911
and was told to contact the non-emergency number, but she feels that it is an
emergency. There are laws protecting wildlife and dogs in the back of pickup
trucks, but this is an ongoing problem. She is tired of confronting people who
do not take it seriously.
Becky McDonald explained that 911 refers calls regarding animals to the non-
emergency number, but they answer immediately as well. Protocol is that each
call goes to the appropriate agency. This kind of call is considered more urgent
than, for instance, a dog at large call.
Sheriff Blanton added the Sheriff's Office responds to those calls immediately
and remedy the situation. There are laws on the books dealing with this, and
citations can be issued. The cities probably get more calls of this type than the
Sheriff's Office does. Chief Sandi Baxter stated that Bend Police officers do
respond as quickly as possible. The CSO's are equipped with temperature
gauges. It is serious and is taken as such. She suggested that the woman not
get personally involved due to potential danger to herself.
Chief Ron Roberts said that a lot has to do with individuals' personal
responsibility for their pets. It is important to the people on the force, but they
are somewhat limited in resources and have to follow legal guidelines.
Judge Sullivan said that this is taken seriously by law enforcement. There are
people who spend a lot of money in the pursuit of protecting animals in the
area. The District Attorney's Office also takes it seriously. Law enforcement
might be a long way off on a call and have to finish what they are doing before
responding a new call, and staffing limitations are a problem as well.
Commissioner Baney thanked Ms. Hokstra for attending and speaking to the
group about this.

4. Correctional Mental Health - Local System Services
Judge Sullivan stated that NAMI was kind enough to provide some books
authored by former Judge Sol Wachtler. The Chief Justice and others judges
who attended a recent meeting were quick to grab a book.
Commissioner Baney said that the Sheriff's Office put together training on
mental health issues and "whose problem is it". She left the meeting feeling
excited about the work being done at a regional level. There were
representatives of various agencies in attendance.
She said that there are some great successes - two treatment courts, mental
health specialists, a mobile clinic, drug & alcohol treatment for those in jail, and
good communications between mental health and the jail. However, a lot of
things still need work. A lot of things need work. Communication needs to be
enhanced, as well as developing the next steps in the process regarding things
that can be added.
Sheriff Blanton stated that this was nationwide training, three to four hours via
satellite, regarding issues involving the mentally ill, not just those in custody
but others as well. One thing to note is that Deschutes County is eons ahead of
many other places, but still has to stay on top of the issue.
Dee Hansen added that it is important to look at what is in place, but also what
might be added to make it better.
Ken Hales stated that they wanted to generate information from staff and do a
self-examination of how this issue is addressed. Sheriff Blanton said that
dealing with mental health issues in the jail is difficult. Typically the people are
not in jail for that reason, but the District Attorney and the courts feel they need
to be for whatever reason. The underlying root of the problem is directly
connected. As part of the judicial system, it is hard for his agency to get
involved in that part. Some people are obviously suffering from mental illness,
so the District Attorney, the public defender and the Sheriff's Office try to work
together to fast-track treatment for these individuals. It has to involve all of the
agencies to work. The jail is not a mental health institution, so it is a daily
challenge for his agency.
Minutes of LPSCC Meeting Monday, August 3, 2009

Judge Sullivan stated that the Sheriff's Office does not put people in jail due to
mental health issues, but does based on community safety. There is an
increasing commitment to treat these folks properly, including counseling and
medication, referrals and programs. What makes this community different from
others is that the Sheriff's Office, the District Attorney, the defenders, Parole &
Probation and the courts work together. It is not a perfect system, but they are
able to find some ways to help, and at times things can be expedited as needed.
Roger Olson added that he learned at the recent convention that the fact that this
group even talks about it is unique when compared with other places in the
country.
Chief Roberts observed they spend a lot of time working on mental health
issues to create greater awareness, based on available resources. Some places
offer little training or resources. His officers encounter people on the streets all
the time with obvious mental health issues.
Sandi Baxter said that the people who go to jail have resources available to
them. However, one group with a problem that is largely not addressed is
individuals who are not doing crimes but suicides, attempted and completed.
Family members and friends call on this problem often. The mobile unit is not
nearly enough. Taking someone to the hospital involves a minimum of two
officers and several hours. Sheriff Blanton added that everyone would be
shocked at how many there are. It is out of control. If someone is arrested and
there are signs of a mental health issue or self-destructive behavior, they are
taken to the hospital. That is a burden on which ever agency is involved.
Sheriff Blanton added at that point they are in custody, so they cannot be left
alone. His agency does not forcibly medicate, but some agencies do. His
officers take the individual to Sageview or St. Charles. Unfortunately, there are
a lot of things that get ignored because there is no way to deal with it.
When asked about the increase in the number of suicides and how many of
those individuals might have made contact first, Sheriff Blanton replied that
some are just death investigations, and the report comes from the District
Attorney. Some you can't absolutely say were suicides, but in his opinion they
were. These represents perhaps 25% of the ones that are handled.
Minutes of LPSCC Meeting Monday, August 3, 2009

Jack Blum said that he is glad to hear emphasis on this has changed. He did a
ride-around with a deputy, during which time they got one of these calls, took
the individual to the jail, then realized he should go to the hospital, and they
spent at least three hours doing this. They were told that there was nothing that
could be done at the hospital, so the individual ended back at the jail at that
point. That deputy was working on this issue for five or six hours.
Sheriff Blanton added that when a person is not in custody, they can be in an
officer hold for evaluation and then released to the mental health. team. This
situation is very difficult to manage. Chief Baxter said that sometimes by that
point the person has become violent, if he or she was not already. This is often
why the police agency is called in.
Sheriff Blanton stated that he and others toured jails in Utah, and the agencies
there talked about having suicides in the jails, sometimes several a week. He
did not even ask how this can be allowed to happen. However, if someone is
intent on suicide, sometimes it is hard to stop them.
Judge Sullivan noted that this was an attitude more than not being well-run.
Overall he felt the environment at these facilities was cynical and harsh.
5. "Smart Response in Tough Times" - Report from Mental Health Court
Team
Mike Dugan said that some locations operate a 24/7 safe house to hold people
with a mental health issue instead of holding them at the jail. Mental health
specialists know what the police have to do, so often will stay long enough to
make sure there is no potential physical violence.
Mental Health has received a grant for a rural mental health court. A team was
sent to a conference in Washington DC, including a defense attorney, District
Attorney representatives and others. There were some top-flight names in
mental health services. The Constitution does not provide a right for mental
health treatment if you are not incarcerated. If you are on the streets, you are
mostly out of luck. In the United States, correctional facilities are the largest
mental health facilities in the country.
Minutes of LPSCC Meeting Monday, August 3, 2009
Page 5 of 8 Pages
Everyone attending the conference understood one thing: law enforcement
agencies are first responders, but because something illegal has been done,
minor or not, it has to be treated as a criminal activity. A lot of work can be
done locally to help the first responders. Much can be handled by local mental
health providers. It is a problem for everyone.
The Mental Health Department is very proactive here. Mental illness affects
about 6% of the general population, and 72% of those have substance abuse
problems. Veterans and juveniles have higher numbers. The first responders
are the most important, as they have to identify the problem.
Mr. Dugan stated that NAMI does not believe him when he says they don't
arrest people for being mentally ill. Everyone needs to identify areas needing
improvement. Everyone wants a safe, violence-free, crime-free society, at a
low cost. The first responders don't get the funding they need to handle this
issue.
There are a wide variety of mental health courts in the nation now. In regard to
dealing with juveniles with mental health issues, nationally there is a lack of
efficient planning or programs to identify and help them. There needs to be
smooth transitions on police officer holds. If someone has not done anything
illegal, they can't be held even though they may need help.
Commissioner Unger said that he has been attending County College, learned a
lot about the problem there.
Ron Roberts said that there are ways to address this, but his officers deal with
individuals with mental health issues all the time
Mr. Dugan pointed out that the local shelters, Shepherd's House and Bethlehem
Inn, cannot take these individuals in due to the risk factor.
Commissioner Baney stated that regarding detox in general, this has to be
scheduled in advance but should be in place. Rick Treleavan added that there is
land available, but it is not big enough for a facility. Dave Kanner asked about
the operational costs; Mr. Treleavan said it would be between $500,000 and $1
million a year. This type of facility should be run 24/7.
Minutes of LPSCC Meeting Monday, August 3, 2009
Page 6 of 8 Pages
Judge Sullivan asked that Mr. Treleavan dust off the report and update the cost
figures. He would also like to get updated numbers from the law enforcement
agencies. Bev Clarno suggested that they get information from the hospital as
well, perhaps through the Mental Health Department.
Mr. Kanner asked if other counties have a detox center. Ken Hales will
investigate this and coordinate a report in this regard.
Commissioner Baney reminded everyone that anything they do is vulnerable to
what happens at the State level.
6. Commerce in Metal Property Bill - SB 570
Mr. Dugan said that he will discuss this at the next LPSCC meeting, as the Bill
is not effective until January 2010.
7. Redmond Police Dept. Alcohol Sales Report
Hillary Saraceno briefed everyone on the 2009 report regarding the sale of
alcohol to under-age youth. She said it was alcohol awareness month, and they
conducted a tag-team with the Redmond Police Department, who worked on
compliance issues. Of the 62 stores visited, 85% were in compliance. Nine
stores sold alcohol to minors.
It was felt that parental control is an area that really needs work.
Chief Roberts said that the feedback from businesses is that they work hard
with their staff to comply. Ms. Saraceno indicated that compliance in a
previous report done four years ago was just 55%, so it has improved. Chief
Roberts said that part of this is that funding was made available to address the
issue. Ms. Saraceno stated that there is a desire of the TAPS team to do this
again, perhaps around teen events such as prom night. She added that there is
more training available, and they partner more with the Commission on
Children & families and the Sheriff's Office on this issue.

8. Oregon Healthy Teen Survey Report - Deschutes County Update
Ms. Saracen said that the survey was done on grades 8 and 11 across the State,
with standardized questions regarding ongoing behaviors, substance abuse, etc.
They got more schools to participate this time. It was to be done on a limited
basis due to a lack of funding, but they were able to go from three to fourteen
schools. The data is used for grant writing and funding purposes. The
addictions and mental health group is focusing primarily on substance abuse
issues, including children in the 6t grade.
They worked with the schools in Sisters, Redmond and southern Deschutes
County to purchase sentios, which are electronic devices on screen that can
provide immediate feedback from students. One misperception is that "all of
the kids are doing" whatever it is, and they were able to show this is not the
case.
9. Other Business
Judge Sullivan asked if anyone wanted to offer suggestions regarding topics for
the next meeting. Mr. Dugan said that items #6 and more on #5 could be
addressed at the next meeting.
Being no further items discussed, the meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m.

SMART RESPONSES
In
TOUGH TIMES
Achieving better outcomes for people with mental illnesses
Involved in the criminal justice system
This was the title of the conference sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
held in Washington D.C. July 15-17, 2009. As part of a federal grant, Deschutes County
designated as a Rural Grantee, sent part of its Mental Health Court team to participate in
the training and technical assistance event. Members included two criminal defense
attorneys, Alana Brown-Brenneman and Karla Nash, the Deschutes County Health
Services director of court services Amber Clegg, and me.
The conference focused on the implementation and operation of programs to
better serve those persons with mental illnesses who find themselves in the criminal
justice system. Deschutes County operates a "mental health treatment court." There are
numerous specialized treatment courts around the nation and while most have
similarities, no two are exactly alike. The primary emphasis is to be able to identify those
persons who need mental health services and provide them with wrap-around resources to
address their health issues. It is also apparent that no two persons have the same level of
mental health illness nor do they need the same services. One size does not fit all.
Keynote speakers included Peter Early a journalist and author who published his
own experiences in the justice system with the book Crazy: a Father's Search through
America's Mental Health Madness and The Honorable Steven LeifMan a Special Advisor
on Criminal Justice and Mental Health and a member of the Supreme Court of Florida.
Their remarks and experiences related in their Keynote addresses provided the basic
backdrop for the conference participants.
One of the plenary sessions was entitled "Why Prioritize Criminal Justice and
Mental Health Collaboration in tough times?
Statistically we learned some startling information from studies done in
Maryland.
1. 6% of the General Population suffers from a serious mental illness;
2. 14% of the male population in jails and prisons suffered a serious
mental illness;
3. 31% of the female population in jails and prisons suffered a serious
mental illness;
4. 72% of those with a serious mental illness also suffered co-occurring
substance abuse.
The Constitution of the United States does not provide a right to have health
treatment of any kind unless you are in a jailor prison. In order for the mentally ill
person to come to the attention of the Mental Health treatment community through the
criminal justice system, that person must have "Done Something." Whether that is a
quality of life or nuisance "Done Something" or a horrific "Done Something", the person
must have been arrested and lodged in order to receive the right to treatment. It was not
too long ago when mental health services were not available to inmates. But now, those
services are mandated by court decree. This all works out until the person is released
from custody, back into the community, where treatment is not a matter of right.
Law enforcement officers are the first responders to the "Done Something" event.
Law officers can help identify those who are mentally ill, but they have responded to the
event, not because the person is mentally ill, but because a mentally ill person (they don't
know it at the time) has committed an act that is a crime. In many instances the first
responder may not recognize the person has a mental illness. Without the community
taking an affirmative act in providing treatment services, whether the person is in jail or
not, public safety is endangered.
Public safety is endangered because the mentally ill person has had multiple
opportunities to be in contact with the public safety community, beginning in many
instances in the juvenile system. Too many times the person has been arrested and
released without treatment. Resources of the law enforcement community are over-
extended, yet the police continue to respond in the same way time and time again. The
first chance is in the juvenile system, but is too often missed. There are little or no
services available in the Juvenile Justice System for mental health treatment. The reasons
are many and varied:
1. They are just kids
2. The system is designed to rehabilitate, not treat
3. 70% of juvenile offenders suffer from a mental health disorder
4. 50% of juveniles suffer from some mental illness.
a. Mental Health Services has to be part of the solution.
5. 60.8% of juvenile offenders have a substance abuse disorder
6. 27% require immediate and significant treatment.
Public safety is endangered because we do not recognize the juvenile criminal justice
system as a mental health treatment center. Treatment in juvenile facilities is generally
below standard and there has been a substantial lack of training for juvenile detention
officers and staff. If we do not recognize the juvenile population who need mental
health services, we will end up using more and more resources for the adult mentally
ill offenders.
2
The underlying points are two-fold: 1. Law enforcement plays a huge role in the
identification of those who need mental health services. The first responders have
become one of the most important partners in the mental health community; and 2.
Access to mental health treatment begins at the time of arrest. First responders do not
arrest because the person is mentally ill, they arrest because the person has done
something criminal.
AMERICAN VETERANS
The criminal justice system must take a serious look at how veterans are
prosecuted for criminal acts. This look necessarily requires additional training for the
first responders, correction officers, prosecutors, judges and treatment providers. During
the last 40 years the United State has been involved in numerous armed conflicts. Most
notable are the Vietnam War, the Gulf war, Iraqi Freedom, and now Afghanistan.
Statistically, Veterans are becoming more involved in the criminal justice system.
1. 134500 Veterans were incarcerated in 2004
a. 24% of Gulf War Veterans are incarcerated
b. 35% of Vietnam War Veterans are incarcerated.
c. 26% of Federal prisoners in 2004 were veterans,
d. 20% of State prisoners in 2004 were veterans
2. 85% of Iraq/Afghanistan veterans are under the age of 30
The mental illnesses veterans suffer from most often are combat stress related.
PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder and anger related instances including instances of
domestic violence, reckless driving, weapons offenses, are most commonly seen amongst
veterans.
Problems that exist today:
1. There is no accurate count of the number of veterans in the United States
today. It is estimated that there are over 23 million;
2. 44% of the Gulf War Vets are registered with the Veterans Administration;
3. 900 veterans die every day;
4. Veterans carry guns, much like a security blanket;
5. Law enforcement is not trained to recognize veterans;
6. District Attorneys lack training on the issues surrounding veterans;
7. Public Defenders lack training on the issues surrounding veterans;
8. Judges lack training on the issues of veterans;
9. 7.8 million veterans are enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration;
a. 1.6 million have mental health illness diagnosis.
What are the goals relating to the specialized treatment courts regarding veterans?
On May 27, 2009 the Federal Government directed that every VA hospital is required to
3
employ a Justice Outreach Specialist. The Veterans Administration has been ordered to
do outreach to veterans and locate veterans who are incarcerated. There are now 38
federal employees working solely on reintegration of veterans into the community after
release from jailor prison. There are 153 VA medical centers nation-wide. There are 752
out-patient clinics. There are 232 veterans' centers solely for combat veterans. Mental
Health services are required to be available at each of these locations. Mental Health
Courts should make an effort to have separate (separated from non-vets) court
proceedings for veterans.
The Veterans Justice Outreach coordinator is Mr. Sean Clark. He can be reached
at: sean.clark2kva.gov
MENTAL HEALTH COURTS:
There is a wide variety of mental health courts throughout the nation. No two can
be said to be exactly alike. The goals and services of each court program have been
developed pursuant to the needs of and resources available in each jurisdiction. There is
probably no absolutely right way to build a mental health treatment based court.
Most common are "Diversion" models. The offender is given an opportunity to
avoid or radically reduce jail time be using community based treatment as an alternative
to incarceration. While the community based services for the treatment of the mentally ill
person are available to all persons, many do not or cannot avail themselves of those
services without the intervention of the criminal justice system. Ergo, the person has to
have "Done Something" to get into the program.
Any program must be designed to address a target population of offenders with
mental illnesses. What types of cases will be acceptable to the prosecutor, the court and
to the public? Should the cases be limited to misdemeanors, restricted to non-violent
offenses, or expanded to address felonies. Should probation violators be included in the
target population? Can the program be flexible enough to reach out to the more seriously
impaired offenders? Must the program be limited to one type of mental illness, such as
Bi-polar disorder? Does it require a co-occurring substance abuse? Many questions with
no absolutely correct answer.
Programs range from pre-filing diversions to post-sentencing probation
conditions. Models include:
1. pre-filing
2. post filing, deferred prosecution
3. post filing, deferred sentencing
a. stipulate to police reports
b. plead guilty to all charges
c. plead guilty to some charges
4
4. condition of probation
The desired results are to improve mental health outcomes and to improve public safety
outcomes. The public expectation is summed up by one word: Reduction.
1. reduction of recidivism
2. reduction of violence
3. reduction of jail days
4. reduction of costs
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Law enforcement agencies (LEA) have a large stake in the identification and
treatment of those with mental health disorders. Mental Health Courts should focus on
law enforcement. First responders have the greatest risk and greatest need for mental
health intervention. Over the past 50 years prisons and jails have become the largest
psychiatric inpatient facilities in the United States. Law Enforcement Agencies care
because:
1. Call Load: 7-10% of all calls are related to a mental disturbance;
2. LEA only provides a temporary solution;
3. Mental disturbances take more time;
4. Mental disturbance calls have a greater risk of harm or injury to the officer
and to the offender;
5. 16% of arrested offenders have a mental illness;
LEA also has an interest in the outcomes affecting both public safety and the public
budget. Those outcomes include:
1. Reduced officer injury
2. Reduced "SWAT" team call outs
3. Reduced arrest rates
4. Reduced call loads
5. Increased access to mental health services.
The experts do agree that some people with mental illnesses need to be arrested
and incarcerated for long periods of time. The public will insist that some types of
crimes are so horrible, so dangerous or so out of character for the community that the
offender must be incarcerated.
LEA needs to develop specific training area for officers who frequently deal with
mentally ill persons. This likely requires a system wide change so that all officers can
receive specialized training. LEA needs to partner with the local Mental Health
Department and learn when and how to hand the disturbance or mentally ill person off to
a treatment provider. Because LEA provides the first response, it is clear that LEA is the
link to comprehensive mental health services. However, first responders do not provide
5
treatment and care. A partnership must be built in the community to access appropriate
resources.
Barriers and challenges need to be overcome or avoided. LEA should recognize
that arrest should not be the only option. But this option is generally the only option
available if the community does not have a 24/7 facility that can take a mentally ill
person immediately. The police have a great concern about dangerousness and the
mental health community cannot let confidentiality be an excuse that puts the public and
officer's safety at risk.
CRIMINOGENIC RISK:
In developing any mental health court program the criminogenic risk factors must
be considered. These factors include:
1. Anti social behavior;
2. Family discord;
3. Education and lack thereof;
4. None or too few leisure activities;
5. Substance abuse.
Seventy percent of the offenders nation-wide are on some form of community
supervision, parole or located in local jails. It is known that the rate of arrest is pretty
equal for those with and those without mental illnesses. However, it is also demonstrated
that those with mental illnesses are more likely to have their probation or parole revoked
based on technical violations (no new crime). This is the result of misperceptions and the
individual being supervised.
1. Mentally ill offenders have greater needs;
2. It is perceived that a mentally ill person is more likely to be violent;
3. The mentally ill person is afraid of going to jail so they stop coming to the
probation officer's meeting;
4. Probation officers are under-trained in dealing with the mentally ill offender.
Front line workers believe that people with mental illnesses are in jail or in the
criminal justice system because mental health services have failed. But many who are
actually in the system have not ever accessed the mental health services. In fact, the
psycho-social approach is driven to a larger extent by political considerations. That is
primarily funding.
Every community is different. Just as one size does not fit all, one model does not
fit all. However, the following elements of a successful program have been promoted:
1. Collaborative planning: multidisciplinary
2. Program design
3. Specialized teams
6
4. Dispatcher protocols
5. stabilization-observation-disposition
6. transportation and custodial transfer
7. information exchange between partners
8. treatment, support and services
9. organization support
10. program sustainability.
CONCLUSION:
The first responders are the police. The range of mental health services is not
available until the person is arrested. Some people deserve to be in jail, regardless of
their mental condition. Treating only the mental illness, without addressing the
underlying reasons for community crime will not necessarily lead to reduced criminal
recidivism. Treatment Courts, operated where a full range of services, coupled with
appropriate supervision, can provide for public safety. Working with the police is critical
for success.

Deschutes County, the 2009 Oregon Healthy
Teens Survey, and the Youth Survey Future Plans
The Oregon Health Teens Survey (OHTS) is a survey of eighth and eleventh graders
throughout the state of Oregon and has been offered almost every year throughout the state
since 1997. The survey questions have varied over the years, but in essence it asks health
questions related to health care, chronic diseases, nutrition, sexual behavior, substance use
(alcohol, tobacco and other drugs), physical activity, mental health, suicide, personal safety,
gambling, and violence. The 2009 OHTS had 146 questions and took approximately 45-60
minutes to complete. The data collected from this survey is used by many public and private
stakeholders, and is the basis for outcome measures on the Oregon Progress Board.
This year, the State of Oregon changed its profile for delivering the annual youth survey.
Each year since the Oregon Health Teens Survey started being implemented, the State
epidemiologist has identified a specific number of schools across the state to serve as the
core survey population. Due to funding reductions and less partners involved in
sponsorship, the State had to limit the number of schools it could pay for in each County for
2009. In the past schools who were not selected for the State identified survey sample could
"volunteer" to participate in the survey and the State would pick up the cost of the their
participation. This year, however, "volunteer" schools had to pay their own survey costs.
News of this implementation change reached Deschutes County in mid-February. Without
any intervention, the State survey sample in Deschutes County would have been limited to
one high school and its feeder school(s) - essentially, one high school and up to two middle
schools. Historically, in our county there have been different patterns of participation in the
Oregon Healthy Teen Survey, depending on which school district is involved. Over the past
five years the entire County has gradually been growing the core sample size of eighth and
eleventh grade youth. Since 2004, participation has grown from six schools participating to a
high of sixteen schools participating in 2008.

The 2009 implementation of the Oregon Health Teens Survey required community
mobilization and financial leverage from non-school district funds in order to increase the
number of schools participating from three to fourteen (this represents a 367%
increase in participation from the State's sponsored schools to the total number of schools
participating in the 2009 OHTS). The increase in participation is due, in large part, to the
mobilization of the TAPS substance abuse prevention coalitions in Sisters, Redmond and
South County. The Deschutes County Commission on Children and Families spearheaded
the effort with the local Think Again ParentS (TAPS) teams and Deschutes County Health
Services staff to obtain agreement by schools to participate, as well as non-school district
funding for the 2009 surveys where necessary. School district budget reductions in all
districts made partnering to share the cost burden essential. Survey costs were incurred by
C:\Documents and Settings\deborahf\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK1\Att 5 2009 Oregon Healthy Teen Survey.docJAS 7/1/09 Page 1 of 3
TAPS teams in all three TAPS communities at varying levels, depending on the State OHTS
sponsorship and the school district funding availability. The Commission on Children &
Families also contributed financially to make the survey available at four middle schools not
reached through the TAPS team coalitions. In addition to the cost of the survey itself, there
was a financial need in some schools to pay for the mandatory parental notification letter.
The overall local cost (shared between the CCF and TAPS) to increase participation
for 2009 was $10,340.62, not including staff and volunteer time to coordinate the
efforts.
The Future Youth Survey Picture
After this year, the Oregon Health Teens Survey will only be offered every other year
(2009, 2011, 2013, etc). The State's Addictions and Mental Health (AMH) Division
will offer a separate youth survey during the even years (2010, 2012, etc) starting in
2010. This AMH survey will likely NOT include chronic disease questions or general health
questions. The AMH's intent is to offer this survey to sixth graders, eighth graders and
eleventh graders. This will increase the sample size to entirely new grade level (sixth
graders). The survey has not yet been designed, but it will likely include more questions
related to risk and protective factors, as well as substance use questions and possibly mental
health related questions.
In May, the State's AMH Prevention Manager stated that the AMH's intent is to cover the
survey costs for any school wishing to participate in the AMH youth. This will eliminate the
need for local resources to be allocated to a youth survey in the even years. The youth
survey in the odd years, however, will be implemented with the same profile that was
offered in 2009: one high school and its feeder school(s) will be paid for by the State. If
Deschutes County stakeholders wish to have a larger sample size for the Oregon Health
Teens Survey, it is likely that additional funding will be needed. It is unclear exactly which
substance abuse or mental health questions will remain on the Oregon Healthy Teens
Survey, as the diverse partnership has narrowed as of the 2009 implementation. It is
possible that the survey will continue to contain approximately the same questions that were
represented in the 2009 surveys, but at this time there is no draft for the 2011 Oregon
Healthy Teens Survey.
Conclusions:
• The implementation of two youth surveys, delivered on alternating years will provide
different opportunities for data collection.
• The questions included on each survey will likely have some overlap, but not be
identical, and will likely speak to specific stakeholder needs for data collection in
their focus area.
• The sample sizes for each youth survey may vary greatly.
• The local costs associated with each survey may vary from year to year, however, the
alternating year profiles will likely be relatively consistent.
• Regardless of the specific youth survey conducted, making clear connections
between the collection of the data and the impact on community resources for youth
is critical.

4-.
• Partnerships with the school districts are essential for ensuring that sample sizes are
appropriate sizes to help describe our local youth behaviors.
Concerns:
• Limited time with students to implement the surveys may impact the frequency with
which schools participate in one or both of the surveys.
• If a school chooses to only participate every two years in a youth survey, their data
may be less comprehensive than in years past.
• Wide variances in survey participation and sample sizes make comparing data from
year to year challenging-
• Local financial resources may need to be generated to maintain a healthy sample size
for the Oregon Healthy Teens Survey.
• In some cases, implementation of a youth survey has required additional staffing to
proctor the surveys. Depending on the implementation plan, local human resources
may be necessary to continue the implementation of either the AMH or the OHT
youth survey.
