Substance Abuse Prevention Community Resource List
New Britain, Connecticut
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs are widely used by Connecticut youth. The prevalence
of substance use among Connecticut youth is greater than the prevalence in both the Northeast
region of the country and nationwide. While the patterns of substance use and the factors
contributing to use may vary, adolescent substance use and its consequences are a subject of
concern in all Connecticut communities.
A variety of resources exist in Connecticut communities that can help prevent substance
use among youth. The University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC), under contract with
the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, conducted a Community
Resource Assessment from 1997-98 to identify substance abuse prevention resources available to
youth in selected communities in Connecticut. The primary objective of the survey was to
conduct a comprehensive inventory of the number, type, and availability of prevention services
for youth. The survey can also be used to identify gaps in prevention programming relative to
the needs of youth as measured through a school survey.
New Britain was one of seven Connecticut communities randomly selected to participate
in the Community Resource Survey. The INFOLINE Directory of Community Services was
used to initially identify appropriate agencies. Persons familiar with substance abuse prevention
services in New Britain then checked this list for completeness and accuracy. All agencies were
contacted by UCHC research staff and asked to identify programs in their agencies that were
available to youth. The directors of these programs were then mailed a questionnaire to obtain
information about their program.
For the purposes of this survey, a substance abuse prevention resource is defined as any
service that addresses specific risk or protective factors for substance use among youth. Risk
factors are conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of substance use and protective
factors are those conditions that decrease its likelihood. School-based programs, as well as
programs provided by church organizations, are not included in this resource list.
This list contains program descriptions and contact information for resources available to
youth in New Britain that address risk and protective factors. Risk and protective factors are
categorized according to the domains, or areas of influence in a youth’s life, such as the
individual/peer, family, school, and community domains. A checklist is used to indicate which
programs address which risk and protective factor. The resource list also provides information
on agencies that serve the town of New Britain, as well as statewide agencies that provide
substance use prevention services for youth.
We hope that you will find this information useful to your organization in contributing
towards the prevention and reduction of substance use among youth in New Britain.
