The general objective of this project was to enhance the implementation of Quality Standards in drug prevention, treatment and harm reduction throughout the EU, with more services, organisations and countries applying QS in daily practice. The project focused on applying QS in all EU countries and factors stimulating implementation.
The project focused on the actual application of quality standards and factors stimulating/hindering implementation. By identifying good practice examples and successful implementation models and strategies, the goal was to provide access to key stakeholders (e.g. policymakers, service providers, end users) to dos and don’ts for implementing quality standards in various areas of Drug Demand Reduction. An implementation toolkit has been developed and field-tested, tailored to specific groups of stakeholders and presented in an accessible and comprehensible way to guarantee optimal utilization. Country representatives and civil society organizations were involved throughout the project to maximize these stakeholders’ ability to share examples of good practices and to implement the project’s recommendations in daily practice and at a local level.
The project started in April 2021 and was led by the University of Gent, Belgium.
Partners: Ghent University, Charles University, University of Zagreb, Claude Bernard University of Lyon, IREFREA Network, C-EHRN, EUFAS, Euro-TC.
