MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH February 27, 2019 S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2019 Agenda & Abstracts/ February Page 2 of High Risk Drinking (the CCC), presented an update on the status of the Coalition's activities. Below are some highlights: • The CCC was formed in 2014 as a collaborative effort with the Town of Chapel Hill, UNC Chapel Hill, the Orange County Health Department and the Orange County ABC Board. • The CCC focus is high risk drinking in Chapel Hill. High risk drinking is defined as alcohol consumption that results in ill affects on a person's health and safety, and also often results in a wide variety of community-related harms. • The CCC’s Theory of Change focuses on the drinking behaviors that lead to the alcohol- related consequences. The CCC wants to change the environment/circumstances that cause people to get the alcohol vs taking the alcohol out of their hands. • There are 22 recommended strategies to address high risk drinking in Chapel Hill that were created by way of a report that resulted in the review of data, focus groups, etc. • Some strategies include: o Awareness/Education  Bee Safer – targeted toward students; it was created by students for students.  Alcohol Resource Guide – created for staff who are new to selling and serving alcohol in Chapel Hill; includes information such as tips on spotting fake IDs, preventing sales to underage patrons as well as other helpful information. o Policy/Environment  Carolina After Dark – goal is to increase social options on weekends without alcohol; this results in less negative impacts of alcohol.  Good Neighbor Initiative – to promote positive living experiences in those neighborhoods where students and non-students live in close proximity. o Enforcement  Campus Alcohol Adjudication policy – applicable to all members of the campus community not just the students and all will go through the same adjudication process.  Fake ID Adjudication – persons found guilty using a fake ID must also surrender their real ID for 60 days • Some of the data reviewed by various agencies from the Fall of 2013 through June 2018 was presented. Ms. Landess asked the BOH to choose from eight pieces of data with the purpose of getting feedback that would be helpful at the upcoming Town Hall meeting at the Chapel Hill Public Library on March 20th from 8:30-10am. The BOH chose the data about drinking behavior amongst high and middle school students. The BOH provided feedback regarding some of the factors that could contribute to the downward trend of their drinking behavior as well as what’s keeping the data the same. The BOH had questions that were addressed by Ms. Landess. B.
