Résumé :
The Report explores the methodologies to measure drug-related harm developing since the early 1990s and the shift from evaluation focused on prevalence to a more sophisticated approach aimed at harm minimisation. The report highlighted methodological weaknesses (lack of data, limited institutional capacity, difficulty of disaggregating impact assessments, etc.) while stressing the importance of dedicating resources to of evaluation and monitoring in order to improve implementation and efficacy.
