Community Solutions
Assessment Process
Process
• In December 2005, The United Way of Butler County,
Butler Collaborative for Families, and Butler Memorial
Hospital along with Tripp Umbach kicked off the Butler
County Community Solutions Assessment process.
• Community Leader Interviews were conducted with 40
active leaders in Butler County to obtain their input on the
community survey, the asset inventory survey, identifying
potential focus groups, and obtaining secondary data.
• The outcome of the interviews along with input and
discussions with other community players produced the
community household survey and the focus group
audiences
Process
• Two focus groups were conducted (to date). The senior
focus group was held on 7/19/06 and the adolescent focus
group was held on 8/2/06. The northern low income
residents focus group will be held in September.
• Asset Inventory surveys were mailed to businesses, faithbased organizations, labor groups, and educational
institutions.
• Secondary data was collected by Tripp Umbach to
provide a profile of Butler County including data from the
BRFSS, CDC, HRSA, etc.
Process
• The community planning retreat allows the Collaborative
to identify specific plans for program implementation in
key areas of priority. These prioritized areas will
ultimately effect Butler County and its citizens.
• Third focus group with low-income working adults to be
conducted in early September 2006.
• A September 2006 final community presentation will be
conducted to encourage participation and community
involvement in the implementation process.
Key Findings
Community Leader
Interviews
Community Leader’s Interview Summary
• A community that works together to resolve issues and problems. It
encourages cohesion and is actively involved with its citizens to address its
future needs.
• Due to the geographic locations of certain towns in Butler County (pockets
of the county) some social and health services are unobtainable, thus the
perception is that these towns are unhealthy. However, Butler county overall
is perceived to be healthy. Strong services, programs, and positive economic
development boosts the county’s image.
• The future vision of Butler county entails more economic development in
other less populated areas of the county. Maintaining the county’s youth and
professionals by providing additional job opportunities and job security to
those who otherwise would seek it in other locations. A stronger sense of
community.

Focus Group Key Findings
Senior Focus Group
• The focus group was conducted on Wednesday, July 19,
2006 at the Butler Tanglewood Senior Center
• 17 participants ranging in age from 64 to 88
• Group included 5 males and 12 females
• All were Caucasians
• 1 senior was single, 8 were married, 1 was
divorced/separated, and 7 are widowed
• 2 seniors had some high school education, 6 had a high
school diploma/GED, 3 had vocational/trade school
education, 3 had some college education (no degree), 2 had
their college degree, and 1 senior had their graduate degree
Senior Focus Group Priority Issues
1.) Transportation
• Current transportation is inadequate in the area. The
current system needs additional routes/lines, more flexible
hours, and better utilization of the bus itself.
• One common problem with public transportation is the
lack of drop off and pick up points (routes).
• The transportation program needs to be run more
efficiently especially with rising gas prices. Use smaller
buses or use van shuttles. With this notion you can add
additional routes for its citizens.
Senior Focus Group Priority Issues
2.) Access to Healthcare
• Prescription medication is too costly for most seniors to
afford. Especially those on a fixed/limited income.
• Obtaining health services is difficult due to health
insurance restrictions. There needs to be universal
acceptance of healthcare coverage at all medical facilities.
• Medicare is inadequate. There are too many restrictions.
• Dissemination of healthcare information and the rules to
use healthcare coverage is also difficult for many seniors to
understand. The language is complicated and confusing.
Senior Focus Group Priority Issues
3.) Preventive Care
• Preventive care information is lacking in the public.
Ways to address health problems and issues are to promote
healthy living lifestyles.
• Unhealthy living habits leads to poor health.
• Better dissemination and better communication of
information amongst the senior population.
Senior Focus Group Priority Issues
4.) Access to Elected Officials
• The senior population (who tends to be active in the
community) is unaware of what happens due to the poor
dissemination of information that is produced publicly.
• There needs to be a public forum/platform to discuss and
voice concerns and opinions from seniors and others in the
community.
• The need of public voting records on how public officials
vote.
• Overall lack of trust of public officials.
• Better access to public officials.
Youth Focus Group
• Focus group conducted on Wednesday August 2 at the
YMCA
• 6 kids participated ranging in age from 12 to 16 including
1 6th grader, 1 7th grader, 3 8th graders, and 1 Junior
• Group included 5 males and 1 female all white/caucasian
• Kids represented Butler, Mars, and Seneca Valley school
districts
Youth Focus Group Priority Issues
1.) Smoking and Drug Use
• Cigarettes are gateway drug starting in 7th and 8th
grade, progress to marijuana, and then drugs like
heroine and cocaine
•Participants stated that approximately 4 out of every 10
students tries drugs with approx. 50% continuing to use
drugs after trying them
•Hot spots for drugs include the “Island” near the
Lyndora hotel, Father Marinara skate park, and the
“Viadox” (sp?)
• Students do drugs because there is a perception of it
being the “cool” thing to do so you can fit in, in various
social groups
Youth Focus Group Priority Issues
2.) Kids doing illegal things/Crime
• Fights, bullying, stealing, vandalism, destruction of
public property
• Fights/violence seems to be the number one issue.
Participants mentioned the Tanglewood parking lot,
YMCA, and schools as locations where fights occur and
are scheduled
•Mentioned the Easy Stop as a site for theft
• Emily Britton school as a popular location to use paint
or pellet guns to shoot cars
• Theft of street signs and destruction of school
restrooms
Youth Focus Group Priority Issues
3.) Racism
• Large divide between White and African American
kids in schools resulting in violence.
• Participants stated “African American kids are
separating themselves through music, saggy clothes, and
gangs”.
• White kids who are “trying to fit in with African
American kids are acting Black”.
• Racism is occurring in both directions.
Youth Focus Group Priority Issues
4.) Kids aren’t trying hard in school
• It’s not cool to do well and be perceived as a “geek” or
“nerd”.
• Participants stated approximately 6 students out of 10
are legitimately putting forth their best efforts in school.
• Participants feel that most kids do not realize the
benefits of doing well in school and are more interested
in having fun with friends.
Youth Focus Group Priority Issues
5.) Sex
• Perception that it’s not cool to be a virgin.
• Participants stated most kids start experimenting
sexually in 7th and 8th grade.
• Participants estimate 7 out of 10 students are
experimenting in sexual activity.
• Hot spots include parent’s house when parents aren’t
home, and large scale house parties.
