Cr osstabs E xample 11

Cr osstabs E xample Question 2 Question 1

Que stion??? So what does this crosstabs between the following two questions tell us? o B23d : How wrong do your parents feel it would be for you to: Drink beer, wine or hard liquor regularly? o X10a: How many times in the past 30 days have you, had beer, wine, or hard liquor?

Cr osstabs E xample

Only You Can Make It Me aningful!!! • The more wrong parents feel it would be for their children to drink (beer, wine, and/or hard liquor) the less likely their children are to have consumed these substances at a high rate the past 30 days. Conversely: • Those parents who do not feel that drinking (beer, wine, and/or hard liquor) is wrong, are more likely to have children who drink at a higher rate during the past 30 days.

Re fle c tion Que stions • Please reflect on the following: What questions do you see value in “cross tabbing” based 1. on your coalition’s prevention efforts? What benefits/contributions do you foresee the crosstabs 2. feature providing your coalition in terms of PAYS analysis? How might the crosstabs feature help your coalition to 3. better tell its story?

Cut- Points 17

Cut Point Me thodology • Based on the research done in Michael Arthur and colleagues (including Hawkins & Catalano) in 2007 on 84,663 students from 6 states • In 2015, the cut points are based on 11 states: Pennsylvania 1. Arizona 2. Florida 3. 4. Iowa Louisiana 5. Montana 6. Nebraska 7. New York 8. 9. Oklahoma Utah 10. Washington 11.

What Ar e Cut- Points? • A cut-point helps to define the level of responses that are at or above a standard/normal level of risk, or conversely at or below a standard/normal level of protection. • Rather than randomly determining whether a youth may be at risk or protected, a statistical analysis is completed that helps to determine at what point on any particular scale that the risk or protective factor is outside the normal range. 19

What Ar e Cut Points? • When you are provided a % for a particular scale, you will know that this % represents the population of your youth that are either at greater risk or lower protection than the national cut-point level. • Total Risk and Protection:  6 th and 8 th grade 5 or more risk factors  10 th and 12 th grade 7 or more risk factors  Total protection is 3 or more protective factors regardless of grade 20

21

If you have a 41 on “parental attitudes favorable towards drug use,” that means: 41% of students are at risk for problem • behaviors associated with poor family management If you have a 42 on “perceived risk of drug use,” that means: 42% of students are at risk for problem • behaviors associated with perceived risk of drug use 22
