The suggested program deals with drug addiction in the workplace. Its aim is to develop prevention, training, and aid for workers directly or indirectly affected by drug addiction. The project considers workers as actors in the prevention. It develops the idea that drug addiction and dependencies in general create serious problems in the workplace (absenteeism, low productivity, thefts, etc..). When workers'awareness and knowledge increase, they feel more sure, self esteemed and are able to realise a healthy and safe workplace. The approach to drug addiction problems is carried out according to the cognitive model of A. Beck and his collaborators. This model is used in particular in the formative action, in the realisation of informative materials and in the efficacy study. The project foresees also a large research activity on drug addiction social perception which is used to develop prevention campaingns in the workplace. The final implememtation of the project in all Member States will build a European network able to promote and develop initiatives on prevention initiatives on prevention of drug addiction in the workplace.

Title of Project EFFEKTIVITÄT SEKUNDÄRPRÄVENTIVER MAßNAHMEN - AUSWIRKUNGEN VON PILL-TESTING-PROGRAMMEN AUF DAS KONSUMVERHALTEN UND DAS RISIKOBEWUßTSEIN VON GEBRAUCHERN SYNTHETISCHER DROGEN (ECSTASY). Organization Name: NIEDERSÄCHSISCHE LANDESSTELLE GEGEN DIE SUCHTGEFAHREN Address: Podbielskistr.162 D-30177 - HANNOVER Telephone / Fax: (+49) 511 6262660 / (+49) 511 62626622 Web site: http://www.nls-suchtgefahren.de E-mail: rabes@nls-suchtgefahren.de Contact person: Dr. MANFRED RABES Countries participating Member States X Austria X Germany X The Netherlands Belgium Greece Portugal Denmark Ireland Spain Finland Italy Sweden France Luxembourg United Kingdom EFTA / EEA Countries Iceland Liechtenstein Norway Candidate Countries Bulgaria Latvia Slovakia Cyprus Lithuania Slovenia Czech Republic Malta Turkey Estonia Poland Hungary Romania Others Starting date and duration of project - 1/07/2001 - 12 months Budget Total cost: 262800,79 € Subsidy from the Commission: 183960,00 € Project Objectives There are only a view places in Europe where pill-testing-programs as a measure of secondary prevention are possible under legal circumstances. This is the result of an inventory study from the EMCDDA in Lisbon which was conducted in the last year and will be published in February 2001. In three European cities (Hanover, Amsterdam, Vienna) from 3 member states (Germany, The Netherlands, Austria) drug counseling agencies are offering to test ecstasy pills since several years, integrated in their counseling concept for people who are using synthetic drugs in a problematic or addictive manner. These organizations form the framework for a European cooperation investigating the effects of secondary prevention measures. The DROBS in Hanover is driving with a mobile bus to raves and different locations. Jellinek-Prevention from Amsterdam is part of the Dutch Drug Information and Monitoring System (DIMS) where tablets can be analyzed. The project "check-it" from Vienna is using a High Performance Liquid Chromatography which allows quantitative and qualitative analyses. These 3 cities have a lot of experiences in the research field while using different test-settings. All of them act as models of good practice with an excellent reputation within the target group (user of ecstasy pills). The key questions for the study are: - do offers to give the chance to test synthetic drugs lead to a change in the consumption patterns of the user (more or less risks in the use)? - what are the advantages and disadvantages of the different test-settings in the 3 cities? - what are the conclusions out of the research for further preventive, counseling and helping measures? - in which way do test programs influence non-user (encouragement to use or discouragement?) The cooperating cities and organizations demonstrate unique specific preconditions in Europe to carry out the study. The project with regard to secondary prevention would investigate for the time the effects of pill testing programs on an empirical base. It would be the first international project in this research field.

Title of Project SANTE ET COMMUNAUTE TSIGANE Organization Name: ASOCIACION SECRETARIADO GENERAL GITANO Address: C/ Antolina Merino, 10 E-28 025 - MADRID Telephone / Fax: (+34) 91 422 09 60 / (+34) 91 422 09 61 Web site: www.fsgg.org E-mail: gitanos@fsgg.org Contact person: Patricia BEZUNARTEA BARRIO E-mail: sastipen@fsgg.org Countries participating Member States Austria Germany The Netherlands Belgium X Greece X Portugal Denmark Ireland X Spain Finland X Italy Sweden X France Luxembourg X United Kingdom EFTA / EEA Countries Iceland Liechtenstein Norway Candidate Countries X Bulgaria Latvia X Slovakia Cyprus Lithuania Slovenia X Czech Republic Malta Turkey Estonia Poland X Hungary X Romania Others Starting date and duration of project - 01/09/2001 - 22 months Budget Total cost: 488.526,00 € Subsidy from the Commission: 298.948,00 € Project Objectives The Gypsies are one of the most important ethnic minorities in Europe. There are an estimated 8,000,000 Gypsies residing in Europe and Spain is the EU country with the largest population: more than 500,000. The Project focuses on a trans-national ethnic minority which is very mobile (trans-national mobility) and whose characteristics and problems are very similar regardless of their country of origin. - Drug abuse and the sale of drugs is a phenomenon that is taking a significant toll on sectors of the Gypsy communities and the problem manifests itself in a similar way throughout the different European Union countries, especially in the Mediterranean countries. - This situation is not readily comparable with that of other sectors of the population at large and has a specific effect on Europe's Gypsy communities that justifies specific intervention with this ethnic minority: - Drug addiction hastens the social, family and cultural disintegration process suffered by this already vulnerable group of people. - Gypsy drug-users do not make use of drug treatment and support centres nor do they benefit from the existing damage reduction programs to the same degree as other sectors of the population. - The Gypsy people do not benefit from primary and secondary prevention policies and programs dealing with drug abuse and HIV/AIDS to the same degree as the rest of the population. - Social and labour difficulties faced by broad sectors of this community have led some Gypsy families to turn to drug sales as a source of income and a way to survive. - This situation has led to the appearance of new stereotypes which identify Gypsies with drug-dealers. This is damaging to the Gypsy community's social image and makes it harder still for Gypsies to be readily accepted socially. It has also led to an upswing in racist attitudes. The aims for the project are the following: 1. Consolidate and expand the European Network Sastipen as a forum for exchange, contact and mutual support. Emphasis on awareness and information sharing with regard to the Gypsy Community in Europe focusing on drug-abuse and HIV/AIDS and general health issues. 2. Generate dialogue and a pool of knowledge from elements of common interest on the subject of the Gypsy population involved with drugs. Develop methods and intervention strategies and transfer all significant knowledge and experience to other action partners, to other drug abuse networks and to other ethnic minorities and to public administrations and entities from other European countries which are Home to Gypsy people (especially in Central and Eastern European countries with a significant Gypsy population). 3. Mobilise the different agents involved in drug abuse issues (experts, institutions, etc.) as well as the Gypsy community itself with a view to developing prevention and intervention initiatives with this minority group within the Project partner countries which favour specific treatment taking lifestyles and cultural characteristics into consideration. 4. Faciltate access to mainstream health services for drug-dependant members of the gypsy community 5. Produce, disseminate and apply prevention materials and instruments specifically adapted to the Gypsy Community. Outcomes of the project Final report, September 2003(955 KB)

Title of Project A PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION PREVENTION AND MASS MEDIA CAMPAIGN DIRECTED TO YOUNG TOURISTS VISITING SPAIN AND GREECE Organization Name: FUNDACION SALUD Y COMUNIDAD Address: Ali-Bei, 25, 3rd floor E-08010 - BARCELONA Telephone / Fax: (+34-93)2440570 / (+34-93)2440573 Web site: http://www.fsyc.org E-mail: abs@intercom.es Contact person: Mr. ROLAND HALLMAIER abs@intercom.es Countries participating Member States Austria X Germany The Netherlands X Belgium X Greece Portugal Denmark X Ireland X Spain Finland Italy Sweden France Luxembourg X United Kingdom EFTA / EEA Countries Iceland Liechtenstein Norway Candidate Countries Bulgaria Latvia Slovakia Cyprus Lithuania Slovenia Czech Republic Malta Turkey Estonia Poland Hungary Romania Others Starting date and duration of project - 1/06/2001 - 18 months Budget Total cost: 582736,00 € Subsidy from the Commission: 407424,00 € Project Objectives The project scientific bases and aims are the following: 1. To initiate certain awareness for drug consumption in the long run. For this reason we have chosen the target group of young tourists in the holiday-period not only because of their specific holiday-drinking behaviour, but because of their general drinking behaviour. The holiday period offers a unique possibility to reach a high number of young people in one spot: they have the time and -regarding our experiences in the last two years- are very pleased to discuss with young people of their own age about their drug consuming behaviour In the year 1998 only in Ibiza 11 young persons from foreign countries died as the result of the misuse of drugs (nine Englishmen, two Germans). 2. To reduce the consumption of alcohol mixed with drugs (ecstasy, cocaine) and the related violence and vandalism Almost all Spanish tourist cities with a young tourist population have problems with vandalism and violence caused by the use of drugs especially mixed with alcohol. On the basis of our positive experience in 1999 and 2000 with the implementation of a summer campaign in cooperation with a Dutch organisation in different tourist cities in Spain, we would like to expand this project to five additional member states of the EU, first of all to Greece, (R-country) as a country witch receives each year more than 11 Millions tourists and to the United Kingdom, Germany and Belgium (tourist sending countries =S-countries). 3. To reach a high number of young persons during a short time period Normally these risk groups of young persons between 18 and 22 years are difficult to reach by the normal prevention canals or projects: the school-based prevention-programs usually stop at the age of 14/15 and especially the high-risk groups are hard to motivate by the traditional ways of education. Therefore the peer-to-peer education method is very important and shows excellent results. In order to ensure a wide range of diffusion of the preventive material a close cooperation with British, Belgium and German Airlines and travel agencies will be installed from the very beginning. Furthermore the already existing website from our organisation directed to young people: http://www.site-b.org will be used as an international information prevention platform in 5 languages.

Five Member States will participate m the study, including Belgium, Germany, Greece, Wales (UK), and the Netherlands. Alternative models for the solution of the drug problem come to be viewed as necessary, primarily due to the spread of IUV/AIDS and the nuisance caused to the environment. The intervention, called Self-Control Information Program (SCIP), uses a non-moralizing, motivation-to-change enhancing booklet 'm a four guided sessions program with drug-abusing clients. The program helps addicts : 1. to realistically assess both the advantages and disadvantages of drug use and those of "kicking the habit". 2. to view controlled use that is integrated within the context of a conventional lifestyle as a success in the right direction. 3. to change drug abuse as a strategy for attaining the quality of life. S CIP is developed in co-operation with the Jellinek in Amsterdam by the Universities of NiJmegen and Amsterdam (Cramer & Schippers, 1994). The program is suitable for low-threshold facilities for drug abusers, and proven effective among others in prisons. The feasibility of the implementation of the program will be evaluated in a series of meetings of a Steering Committee (five Member States) and in a Symposium (all Member States) by discussing the experiences with pilot versions of the program (in five Member States) and the results of a survey on facilitative and inhibiting factors in implementing the program (all Member States). The project will therefore: 1. stimulate the exchange of experiences in implementing low-threshold drug abuse preventing programs. 2. establish co-operation in the implementation and adaptation of such programs.

The main aim, in this geographical area, involving partners from five member states, is to encourage and structure cross-border co-operation, to attempt to work out common strategies for action, which are effective and relevant, respecting the different local systems, and the national political, cultural and economic constraints. In this way, the 2001 GEERMM-Europe Interregional Framework Program, based on previous evaluations, is centring its work and thinking on two main themes: 1. The development of activities aimed at preventing drug use by young people : by the training of multidisciplinary staff (F, B, D) to work with this group, in co-operation with an other European network T3E {School and Social Environment Seminars} , by working with a lot of groups of young people (F, B) to develop the peer's support and the control of addictive behaviours [Prevention for addictive behaviours among young people] (in reference to actions 3, 9, 10, 12 and 15 formulated in the appendix to the program of Community Action n°102/97/CE). 2. Research and the development of strategies suited to the prevention of relapses, by means of co-operation between drug addiction specialists in order to determine what the relevant concepts are [Relapse prevention], the improvement of the general health and the quality of life of addicts in substitution programs, research of a best comfort in the protocols between users and general practitioners [Drug Addicts' Aid Network] , (in reference to actions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). The whole of the Framework Program aims to involve professionals in the field of addiction, both specialists and non-specialists, in order to diversify prevention work (included young people themselves as far as possible) and the follow-up of drug addicts, to enrich everyone about good practices as well as the co-operation which is indispensable for coherent action and the improvement of the quality of work of drug addiction workers and the level of health of users. This hand-on approach does not exclude research work, collaboration between researchers and academics, co-operation with other European network to reduce financial costs and extend good practices (for example Action 1 with T3E), and the use of existing data and local European level, such as those provided by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (E.M.C.D.D.A.) and the national Focus Points.
