Book excerpt: This report considers substance use prevention in Europe through the lens of a system, highlighting the wide range of factors that need to be addressed to successfully implement substance use prevention programmes and policies. This is of importance because practitioners, policymakers and researchers consider prevention from different viewpoints and have different priorities. While researchers will focus on developing effective interventions and rolling them out, practitioners centre their attention on a meaningful interaction with their target populations. Policymakers, in turn, are engaged in developing policies that deal with public concerns, and in keeping stakeholder organisations well coordinated. Having sets of diverging (and incomplete) views on what is important for prevention can be an obstacle to the efficient use of evidence (of what works and what does not) and the effective implementation of prevention programmes. As a result, there is increasing interest in systems thinking, an approach that draws attention to the variety of complex processes that are necessary for evidence-based programmes to be implemented as part of wider prevention strategies, and may therefore have the potential to unify these differing perspectives within a single model (Durlak, 2008; Hassmiller Lich et al., 2016; Rutter et al., 2017; Spoth et al., 2013). A system is composed of a set of elements organised for a common purpose that are connected and interact with each other to form an integrated whole. The system is not simply its parts, but importantly also the interactions between them. To be useful, a systems view of prevention needs to encompass all forms (universal, selective and indicated) and functions (developmental, environmental and informational) of prevention currently under debate (Burkhart, 2013; Foxcroft, 2013). Most importantly, systems thinking can provide additional perspectives to complement the current focus on evidence-based interventions and programmes. The selection of an effective intervention is only one step in the quality circle of the European Drug Prevention Quality Standards (EDPQS) (EMCDDA, 2011b). A systems approach highlights the many other determinants that can be optimised to achieve sustainable and detectable prevention effects at population level. This report is a first step in developing a prevention system model, beginning by identifying and discussing the different factors and conditions of prevention systems across Europe (in European Union (EU) Member States, Norway and Turkey). It looks into how and by whom prevention is conceived, planned, organised, delivered, evaluated, improved and received. It goes beyond school lessons, events for families, tables with leaflets at festivals and motivating youth on the streets. It identifies and includes additional variables and aspects of a society (e.g. social inequality) that can boost (or impede) the implementation and impact of prevention interventions and policies. These variables - here called moderators - are not generally seen as pertaining to prevention and are difficult to modify through prevention policies. Yet they are determining aspects of a public health prevention system (Sniehotta et al., 2017). In this report a simple model is proposed that may be a useful starting point for comparing and analysing national or regional approaches to prevention. The first step towards developing a systems approach to identifying problems or taking action to improve provision is a description of the core components of the system in question. Therefore, attention is given to the moderators and to the five putative components of the prevention system: organisation, research and quality assurance, interventions, workforce and target populations. The discussion also considers the interactions between them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes methods, instruments and indicators designed to enhance the evaluation of treatment programs for drug users in the EU. It explores the theory of drug treatment evaluation and how the principles of such evaluation can be applied in practice and made relevant to practitioners. In particular, it demonstrates how evaluation can help policy-makers take informed and appropriate decisions on treatment and help professionals boost the quality, relevance and cost-effectiveness of treatment services.
Download or read book Assuring the Quality of Health Care in the European Union written by Helena Legido-Quigley and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have always travelled within Europe for work and leisure, although never before with the current intensity. Now, however, they are travelling for many other reasons, including the quest for key services such as health care. Whatever the reason for travelling, one question they ask is "If I fall ill, will the health care I receive be of a high standard?" This book examines, for the first time, the systems that have been put in place in all of the European Union's 27 Member States. The picture it paints is mixed. Some have well developed systems, setting standards based on the best available evidence, monitoring the care provided, and taking action where it falls short. Others need to overcome significant obstacles.

Book excerpt: "This manual compiles basic but evidence-based prevention principles, planning rules and evaluation tips. Additionally, it provides related documentation or references for download; it is hoped that this additional material will be particularly useful for readers who have difficulty accessing the scientific prevention literature. To illustrate the theoretical discussion, an intervention example, partly based on a real-life situation, gives a practical perspective."--EMCDDA website.
Download or read book Prevention of Substance Use written by Zili Sloboda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a serious examination of substance use prevention research and practice as components of the continuum from health promotion through to prevention and health care in sub-groups and in the general population. Extensive background chapters provide portals into the evolution of the field and the cutting edge research being conducted on the etiology, epidemiology, and genetics of substance use and abuse. The global nature and health burden of substance use and abuse incorporates assessments of the serious problems related to the prevention of legal substance use (i.e., alcohol and tobacco) and how lessons learned in those arenas may apply to the prevention of illicit substance use. Research and practice chapters detail a range of effective evidence-based programs, policies and practices and emerging prevention interventions from the literatures on the family and school contexts in addition to innovations involving mindfulness and the social media. Continued advancements in substance use prevention research, practice, training, and policy are projected. Included among topics addressed are: Progression of substance use to abuse and substance use disorders The tobacco prevention experience: a model for substance use prevention? Policy interventions: intended and unintended influences on substance use Qualitative methods in the study of psychoactive substance use Use of media and social media in the prevention of substance use Supporting prevention science and prevention research internationally The array of research accomplishments and real-world methods presented in Prevention of Substance Use merits the attention of a variety of researchers and practitioners, including public health professionals, health psychologists, and epidemiologists.
