BUSINESS ITEMS

highlights the types and number of tests done in the day center, including drug testing,
with an overview of the results. Discussion and questions followed.
St. Croix County has the only day center in Wisconsin that is run by it's Sheriff's
office, which possibly impacts compliance, and gives the program participants a
positive contact with law enforcement.

RESULT: DISCUSSED
3. Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work
Plan-St. Croix County Substance Abuse Survey
The subcommittee reviewed an updated (3rd) draft of the survey developed by Kimberly,
Phillip and Alicia. They are asked for feedback from the subcommittee prior to finalizing
the survey. The plan is for this survey to be available in paper form as well as
electronically. They have added some community connections questions, but hoping to
reduce the total number of questions prior to final implementation. A demographics
page will be added as well the use of an informed consent form for anyone who
participates in the survey.
Next steps is this draft survey will go to the CJCC Executive Committee, to request a
letter of support in sanctioning this survey, which is a University requirement as part
of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) process. The plan is to pilot the survey in late
spring or early summer.
The intent of this survey is to bring focus to areas of root cause/risk factors leading
to substance use. In turn this will lead us to focus prevention and intervention
programs within those same risk areas.
RESULT: DISCUSSED

Plan- Substance Abuses Prevention, Education and Early Intervention Services Survey
Kelli and Kristin reported on where things are at with their survey regarding prevention

the survey in final form and begin distributing it.

here at the St. Croix County Services Center for 2018 and will share that with this group
when completed.
Chair Johnson shared that the Wisconsin Hospital Association is able to provide
information pertaining to admission reasons involving alcohol and other drugs. This
