The mission of the Joint Base Substance Abuse Program (JBSAP) is to strengthen the overall fitness and effectiveness of the Department of Defense's workforce, to conserve manpower, and to enhance the combat readiness of service members. The two overarching tenets of the JBSAP are Prevention and Treatment. The purpose of this grant is to provide drug and alcohol abuse prevention education for military personnel and families, Department of Defense civilians, reserve components, and retirees at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), Fort Sam Houston. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service plans to provide prevention education through three main programming areas within the JBSAP at JBSA, Fort Sam Houston.1. Risk Reduction2. Alcohol/Drug Prevention3. Suicide PreventionGoal and ObjectivesGoal: The primary goal of the JBSAP is to provide service members, commanders, JBSAP personnel, Unit Prevention Leaders and all other members of the military community with an informative environment surrounding substance abuse and suicide prevention in the military.Objective #1: Ensure all personnel assigned to JBSAP staff are appropriately trained and experienced to accomplish their missions.Objective #2: Implement alcohol and other drug risk education and prevention strategies that respond to potential problems before they jeopardize readiness, productivity, and careers.Objective #3: Provide effective alcohol and other drug abuse prevention and education at all levels of command and encourage commanders to provide alcohol and drug-free leisure activities.Objective #4: Improve readiness by extending services to service members, civilian corps members and family members.Objective #5: Restore to duty those substance-impaired service members who have the potential for continued military service.

Project Methods
In recent years, AgriLife Extension has expanded their evidence-based programming to include trainings such as Prime for Life and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Trainings (ASIST) and have begun evaluating lengthier or more in-depth trainings provided to service members. AgriLife Extension developed quarterly reports based on evaluation feedback and provided to project leadership at JBSA. The evaluation survey used is an adaptation of the value creation framework conceptualized by communities and learning scholars Wenger et. al (2011). This evaluation method will continue to be used under the new project. The survey largely aligns with the authors' theoretical frame, but utilizes modified approaches to data collection, organization, and analysis. The theoretical premise of the value creation framework presumes that as individuals participate in trainings over time, stories are generated about the nature of that participation. The value creation stories tell us what learning is taking place and what value or impact is created because of that learning.

Target Audience: The mission of the Joint Base Substance Abuse Program (JBSAP) is to strengthen the overall fitness and effectiveness ofthe Department of Defense's workforce, to conserve manpower, and to enhance the combat readiness of service members.The two overarching tenets of the JBSAP are Prevention and Treatment. The purpose of this grant is to provide drug and alcohol abuse prevention education for military personnel and families, Department of Defense civilians, reserve components, and retirees at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), Fort Sam Houston.JBSAP provide services for three major commands and 14 tenant agencies located in the San Antonio area. The total population is approximately 11,000 active duty army and civil service personnel. The Prevention Program extends services to Air Force, Navy, Marine, Guards and family members that are assigned to Joint Base San Antonio- Fort Sam Houston (JBSA-FSH) area.The Prevention components of JBSAP function as a non-clinical educational preventive program which develops universal, selective and indicated evidence-based programs to assist the readiness and resiliency of members of the armed forces.

It is used most with people who have had a legal or policy violation such as impaired driving, possession, or workplace violation, but it is relevant for everyone. Prime for Life helps foster attitudes, beliefs, and understanding that helps people reduce risk for any type of alcohol or drug problem. It also creates a unique self-assessment experience to help people be more aware of what they value, what they are risking, and how to protect the things that mean the most in their lives. (Prevention Research Institute) Total Prime for Life trainings provided: 11 Total Prime for Life training attendees: 121 Average number of Prime for Life trainings provided per month: 1 Evaluation Summary What was one significant thing you learned during today's session? That I alone am in control of my choices. Made me realize that I need to work harder to improve myself. The levels of what an addiction consist of and how to prevent from going overboard. Why was it significant? It helped me to realize what I am risking when I drink, particularly in excess. It opened my eyes to the future and see how I have control. New knowledge; helpful personally and professionally. Participant Comments: The instructor was very helpful and informational. Honesty, way better than my "group appts." I feel very comfortable with my decisions and skills from here on out. Course was excellent and well-paced, it really forced me to sit and reflect on choices I've made on and choices I have yet to make and their gravity. Thank you for your knowledge and for being a great teacher on this subject and all of your resources. Unit Prevention Leader (UPL) Trainings Unit Prevention Leaders (UPL) are responsible for the collection of samples and the ASAP is responsible for ensuring quality performance by the UPLs. Quality begins with the selection of the UPL. UPLs must successfully graduate from the 40-hour ASAP UPL Certification training course.

Total ASIST trainings provided: 9 Total ASIST training attendees: 133 Average number of ASIST trainings provided per month: 1 Evaluation Summary If a person's words and/or behaviors suggest the possibility of suicide, I would ask directly if he/she is thinking about suicide. 100% training response If someone told me he or she were thinking of suicide, I would do a suicide intervention. 100% training response I feel prepared to help a person at risk of suicide. 100% training response Participant Comments: Class was eye-opening! Regular Army prevention is woefully inadequate to handle actual suicide situations. This [class] should be the baseline standard for everyone. [I] began to see a change in my reaction to invitation by the half-way mark during day one. One of my top 5 useful military trainings. Great instructors. Very helpful class. [I] would recommend this class to more people in my unit. The instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful. The scenarios were very real and helpful to understand the importance of ASIST. Suicide Awareness & Personal Readiness Trainings Total trainings provided: 51 Total trained: 3,943 individuals Average total trainings provided per month: 4 Evaluation Summary Learning parameters: 95% of training participants comfortable in discussing the content with others. 98% of training participants prepared to assist individuals at risk. 100% of training participants would recommend this training to others. 100% of training participants indicated the presenter was well prepared and knowledgeable of training content. Suggestions for future topics: Mental health impacts on military career. Incorporate actual suicide survivors into training How to better communicate with others Family crisis management Resiliency Risk reduction Job tension/depression Grief resources Toxic leadership and impact on soldiers Participant Comments: This was the best suicide prevention brief I have experienced in 17 years. You [Ms. Taylor] did a wonderful job and provided many great resources for both civilian and military personnel. I think this training should be optional, not mandatory. For people who have been close to suicide, this mandatory training is more akin to a forced reminder and leaves me feeling depressed following the training. It's time to stop forcing employees to go through this training. The information was beneficial and informative and should be talked about more often.
