Brooke Green — Representative Green was discussed in the context of the proposal’s assessment component and the broader mechanics of the campaign. She noted that she had missed part of the earlier discussion and asked follow-up questions, including whether the campaign would be sole-source or handled through an RFP process.
Brooke Green — Representative Green asked Representative Redmond for clarification on the mechanics of the proposal, including how it would be implemented, whether it would go through the Office of Drug Policy, whether there would be multiple vendors, and whether the committee would review the proposals and participate in the process if the proposal moves forward.
Marco Erickson — Representative Erickson argued that the proposed childhood network funding should be evaluated through the lens of prevention implementation science. He explained that prevention strategies fall into categories such as providing information, building skills, and changing environmental conditions, and said the early childhood proposal does not fit those categories. To illustrate environmental prevention, he contrasted giving an individual a coat with changing the room temperature, then described a personal example near a school where signs and a dummy camera reduced vaping in that location without eliminating vaping entirely. He concluded that the $3 million, multi-year childhood network request does not align with the prevention implementation science approach for substance abuse prevention.
