AF Illicit Drug Use
AD AF FY04 0.45% Drug Positives (1,572 total) Discharge ≃ 1500 Airmen a year b/c of drug positives $36-79k avg. cost to produce each trained Airman
Demand Reduction (Detection and Deterrence)
Detection is important to the mission But once caught, we lose an airman
Deterrence is vital to the mission Effective prevention results in saving an airman
Comprehensive approach to further reduce use

Research Says….
Comprehensive community approach ideal: Leadership Driven, Environmental Change, Information,
Early Identification and Intervention, Policy/Deterrence, & Alternative Activities
Key: Identify those at of risk Population based screening/assessment
Good evidence for brief interventions Tailored feedback (in-person and mailed), Brief
Interventions, Primary Care, Web-based programs, etc…Based on SAMHSA and NIAAA recommendations for prevention and early intervention in
youth & young adults
11I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
Culture change requires emphasis on prevention: Leadership sets the tone -Commanders’ program! Wide range of prevention efforts Broad community involvement Medics offer enhanced screening and early intervention Create prevention opportunities outside of MTF
Should be responsibility (not morality) based
Standardize elements & evaluation
Implementation must be locally tailored/flexible

The Road from 0-0-1-3 to CoRC…..
14I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
0-0-1-3: Basics
Science-based community program from F.E. Warren 0-0-1-3 is a slogan that is part of a larger program
0 underage drinking, 0 DUIs, 1 drink/hour, 3 drinks per sitting max
Wing Commander’s Program ADAPT is a team player--not the lead All installation IDS/CAIB members had a role Public Affairs, Security Forces, Services, Command
Master Chief/First Sergeants, and Chaplains have particularly involved roles
4 core levels of change: Strong Leadership, Individual, Base, & Community
