- W202614890 abstract "Abstract The Ohio Substance Abuse Monitoring Network (OSAM) is designed to provide accurate, timely, qualitatively-oriented epidemiologic descriptions of substance abuse trends and emerging problems in state's major urban and rural areas. Use of qualitative methods in identifying and assessing substance abuse practices in local communities is one of main assets of OSAM Network. Qualitative methods are sensitive to local contextual variability, flexible enough to capture emergent trends, and can be implemented with limited financial resources. This paper describes how qualitative epidemiologic methods, like those used by OSAM Network, could be applied to inform substance abuse prevention activities, particularly those directed at adolescents. Introduction Substance abuse is a highly dynamic phenomenon. Across United States and within local communities, the popularity of any one drug waxes and wanes, a drug s availability fluctuates, forms and modes of ingestion of change, new are introduced, and people vary in their willingness to try and continue using various types of drugs (Ouellet, Wiebel, & Jiminez, 1995, 182). Substance abuse is also a highly local phenomenon that is shaped by socio-economic, cultural, and law enforcement practices. For example, research has found significant differences exist in teen drug use practices among different school districts in Dayton, Ohio, area. Lifetime marijuana use among ninth graders (n = 3,016) varied from 22% to 36% among school districts, and lifetime inhalant use varied from 11% to 20% (Falck, Wang, Carlson, & Siegal, 2002). This locally-situated nature of substance use and abuse patterns has been long overlooked by prevention programming that has retied heavily on nationally standardized programs focusing on education and intervention strategies informed by generalized, theoretically driven models. One of chief lessons of prevention research is need for a comprehensive approach, one that not only targets specific educational needs of individuals but also addresses meaningful risk and protective factors operating at family, community, and public policy levels (NIDA, 1999). This kind of comprehensive approach places a much greater emphasis on importance of locally specific knowledge of substance abuse trends and issues. The dynamic and locally situated nature of substance abuse phenomena has important implications for treatment and prevention planning. It requires a real-time approach to needs assessment that is flexible enough to capture emerging substance abuse trends while being sensitive to local contextual variability. The Ohio Substance Abuse Monitoring (OSAM) Network, a statewide substance abuse surveillance system, was designed to meet these real-time data needs and provide public health officials, especially in substance abuse treatment area, and policy makers with data they need to plan and carry out strategies to address existing and emerging substance abuse problems. The purpose of this brief article is to suggest how qualitative epidemiologic methods like those used by OSAM Network could be applied to inform substance abuse prevention activities, particularly those directed at adolescents. The OSAM Network Supported by Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS), OSAM Network is designed to provide accurate, timely, qualitatively-oriented epidemiologic descriptions of substance abuse trends and emerging problems in Ohio's major urban and rural areas (for a more detailed description of OSAM Network see Siegal, Carlson, Kenne, Start, & Stephens, 2000). The OSAM Network is modeled after Community Epidemiology Work Group, a national substance abuse surveillance system established by National Institute on Drug Abuse in 1976 (NIDA, 1998a). The OSAM Network consists of eight regional epidemiologists located in major urban areas and several rural areas throughout state who conduct focus-groups and individual qualitative interviews with active and recovering drug abusers, treatment providers, and law enforcement officials to produce epidemiologic descriptions of local substance use and abuse trends every six months. …" @default.
