Description
Understanding the risk and protective factors that put a Kentucky resident at risk of
increased substance use and related behavioral health issues, including suicide,
are a vital component of primary prevention efforts. Identifying risk and protective
factors for behavioral health issues allows limited resources to be targeted toward the
demographic and geographic locations where needed most. Understanding when
consequences of behavioral health issues – such as overdose and suicide – have
the same risk and protective factors creates opportunities for stronger prevention
efforts long before an individual reaches the crisis point. The COVID-19 pandemic has
increased the need for better understanding of these interrelated situations.
The Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities
(DBHDID), Division of Behavioral Health (DBH), Prevention and Promotion Branch
has been charged with identifying the risk and protective factors of substance use
and suicide in order to implement appropriate upstream, primary prevention efforts.
Additionally, DBHDID has received federal grant funds to supplement efforts to address
these needs. In an effort to best address service needs for these target populations,
University of Kentucky, Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (UK KIPRC)
will provide focused data surveillance and analysis, Government Performance Result
Act (GPRA) data collection and analysis, to better understand Kentucky’s current
behavioral health situation and support the translation of that information into primary
prevention practices.
