Résumé :
Purpose of the study:
With the study at hand, the objective was to first – two years after the preliminary research – update the research. With this, the demand reduction activities in the field of synthetic drugs which are currently being implemented within the European Union were to be collected. A differentiated picture of the goals that these projects/programs follow and which target groups are being addressed was to be compiled. A further aim was to present the measures/methods which were implemented in the scope of the demand reduction activities and which measures in the field of synthetic drugs were considered to be especially important. A focus for the study at hand was to assess the current status of the evaluation. Here the point was to see if the implemented measures were being evaluated as to their acceptance, practicability, and effectiveness and if the evaluation guidelines prepared by the EMCDDA are adequately known about or had even proven to be helpful in the evaluation of the projects.
On the basis of the current data and the information from the first studies to demand reduction activities in the field of synthetic drugs, it should become clear which conceptional or methodological changes are observable. Finally, based on the information and insights gained from the study of the current demand reduction activities, an assessment of adequate preventative strategies should be made possible. This assessment will be able to, for example, uncover the goals and methods of the prevention in connection with the consumption of synthetic drugs which seem adequate and with which preventative messages the target groups are reachable.
