Abstract

One of the tasks of the Council for School Performance is to implement measures of school safety to determine the impact of Georgia Lottery for Education expenditures. During the 1994-95 school year, the council pilot-tested several indicators of school safety. This document presents the results of an evaluation that examined the relevance, validity, and reliability of the piloted indicators. The study also explored the data-collection process, incentives and disincentives to accurate reporting, and the extent to which schools perceived the reporting process as an acceptable administrative burden of the pilot program. The evaluations were conducted at 15 Georgia public schools. Data-collection methods included a review of school statistics and interviews with school administrators, security personnel, teachers, and students. Respondents indicated that the reporting process was worthwhile; however, they lacked reliable baseline data and displayed a poor understanding of key indicator definitions. Respondents from the same school often reported widely different estimates of safety-related incidents, and there was evidence of biased reporting at some schools. Policymakers are advised to continue pilot studies; simplify indicators; incorporate indicator reports into ongoing data-collection efforts and include mechanisms to validate indicator reports; reinforce accurate reporting with positive incentives; increase the use of outcome measures with clearly defined benchmarks; report reliable and valid pilot- study results to the public; and use victimization surveys to gauge the impact of school-safety interventions. One table is included. Appendices contain a map of evaluation regions, a copy of the evaluation proposal, guidelines and reporting forms for school indicators, and proposed indicator revisions.

2. An Evaluation of Lottery Expenditures for Public School Safety in Georgia.

Abstract

In 1994, approximately $20 million of Georgia Lottery for Education funds were spent to make schools safer. This report presents the results of an evaluation of Georgia Lottery for Education expenditures for technologies related to school safety. The study evaluated the safety technology at 15 Georgia public schools. Data were gathered through interviews with school administrators, security personnel, teachers, and students about drugs, alcohol, firearms, and violence in the schools and on-site inspections. Overall, students and staff perceived that their own school was safe, but felt that other schools might be unsafe. Drawbacks to the technological security interventions included unanticipated expenditures and a negative impact on public perceptions of school safety. The report recommends that policymakers examine the magnitude of school violence relative to other safety problems faced by students and staff; target spending to schools with identified safety problems; increase the emphasis on school climate and leadership as primary determinants of school safety; share information and resources among schools; and integrate evaluation into the design and dissemination of any new school-safety initiative. One table is included. Appendices include a map of the evaluated regions and sample application forms and guidelines. (LMI)

Abstract

Objective. To assess the relationship between unintended pregnancy resulting in a live birth and binge drinking (having 5 or more alcoholic beverages on 1 occasion) in the 3 months before pregnancy (the preconception period) and to characterize women who are of childbearing age and binge drink. Methods. A case-control study was conducted of women with pregnancies that resulted in a live birth, comparing those with unintended pregnancies with those with intended pregnancies. Data analyzed were from the 15 states that participated in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System from 1996-1999. Results. Of 72 907 respondents, 45% of pregnancies were unintended. Compared with women with intended pregnancy, women with unintended pregnancy were more likely to be young and black and to report preconception binge drinking (16.3% vs 11.9%; odds ratio [OR]: 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-1.54). After adjusting for potential confounders, preconception binge drinking was associated with unintended pregnancy for white women (adjusted OR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.47-1.80) but not for black women (adjusted OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.77-1.20). Overall, 14% of women reported preconception binge drinking. Women who binge drank in the preconception period were more likely to be white and unmarried; to smoke and be exposed to violence in the preconception period; and to consume alcohol, binge drink, and smoke during pregnancy. Conclusions. Binge drinking in the preconception period was associated with unintended pregnancies resulting in a live birth among white women but not among black women. Preconception binge drinkers were more likely to engage in other risky behaviors, including drinking during pregnancy. Comprehensive interventions to reduce binge drinking may reduce unintended pregnancies, as well as other adverse maternal and pediatric health outcomes.
