Résumé :
The 4 tiered model of young persons substance misuse services links well with current drug prevention and treatment policy as it embraces the multi-agency approaches advocated by Every Child Matters (DfES, 2003), the Updated Drug Strategy (Home Office, 2002), and Choosing Health (DH, 2004a). A key element of the 4-tiered approach is the ability of a range of agencies to work closely together to provide a seamless service. However, little research was identified that examined the effectiveness and processes of multi-agency approaches to working. There was evidence of interventions and programmes that embraced the approach (for example, Positive Futures being used to engage young people at tier 2 and reintegrate them into mainstream provision i.e. back into schools). However, other literature identified areas where the model had not been adopted effectively and gaps were identified in service provision. In particular, support for young people with dual diagnosis (e.g. co-occurring mental health problems), was highlighted as a concern. (Extract of the publication)
