Putting the APNA to Work for You
The Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment
Workshop ObjectivesExplain the risk and protective factors approach to preventionDiscuss the validity and reliability of the APNA survey instrumentDescribe the benefits of the APNA data to schools, communities, and the stateIdentify the location of APNA reports onlineUse local reports to find and prioritize local data, for future applicationCreate a flyer to showcase local dataDescribe a plan for sharing APNA data with stakeholders
Today’s Goals Overview of APNA survey - history, questionnaire items, benefits to schools, communities,
state APNA survey results - where to find them online APNA survey results - how they are organized in the district-level and building-level reports Templates for use with APNA results - alcohol, marijuana, others to be created; how to find
data for use with templates; how to insert local data into templates Other ways to use/share APNA data
APNA History Uses the Communities That Care Student Survey developed by Hawkins & Catalano Measures Risk and Protective Factors Seven State Norm during 1994-2002
Random Sample of 200,000 students CO, IL, KS, ME, OR, UT, & WA
AR Piloted the Survey in 1998 & 2000

APNA in Arkansas 2002 - Initial Implementation of APNA Implemented annually (2008 was 6th Year)
6th Graders in 2002 were the Seniors in Fall 2008 28 Districts have participated every year Trend data tracking their 2009 graduating class’ developmental process
Available to all public school districts ADAP Supported--No cost to districts
4
Validity
Built-in checks assure validity of the data Honesty Fake Drug Inconsistent Responses Extreme Use Inappropriate grade levels
Surveys w/ inappropriate responses are removed prior to data analysis
Goal: Full Participation
Census based approach (vs random sample) - With FULL participation by a district
Reliability of data results is limited by the quality of the implementation All students All four grades All buildings housing those grades Less than full participation can skew data results
5
Recent APNA Questionnaires
Note about 2006 results and comparability Possible dips/spikes in 2006 data reports
2006 subcontractor used different syntax for some of the social indicators
New questions added to 2007 for evaluation purposes New questions added to 2008 – Prescription drugs
APNA Benefits Gathers information needed for planning, reporting, evaluation, & grant
applications Provides unique data for NCLB reporting Annual participation provides trend data
By grade -By class -By gender -By building Allows efforts to be tailored to specific needs
Class/Grade level Individual building level District & Community levels

What are Risk and Protective Factors? Risk factors are those conditions or situations that increase the
likelihood that a child will develop one or more behavior problems in adolescence.
Protective factors are the conditions or situations which decrease the likelihood of future behavior problems.
Risk and protective factors are found in four domains - community, school, family, and the peer/individual
All of the major behavioral problems in adolescence are known to be related to risk and protective factors.

Example of how a risk factor is measured: Low Commitment to School
How often do you feel that the school work you are assigned is meaningful and important?
How interesting are most of your courses to you? How important do you think the things you are learning in school are going to
be for your later life? Now, thinking back over the past year in school, how often did you … enjoy
being in school? … hate being in school? …try to do your best work in school? During the LAST FOUR WEEKS how many whole days of school have you
missed because you skipped or “cut”?
