Résumé :
In the field of alcohol, drug, tobacco, and gambling studies, empirical research on the barriers and facilitators for public prevention policies has been scarce. Public policy studies show that the implementers of different organizational positions impact on policy implementation. In this paper, the barriers and facilitators for the implementation of an integrated national policy for addiction prevention, as seen from the positions of managers, prevention specialists, and frontline workers, are analyzed on the basis of qualitative interview data. The results indicate that the managers were structurally oriented in their thinking and emphasized local structures as facilitators. All the groups saw prevention as underfunded and undervalued. The specialists were most focused on the official structures and regarded the functioning of the structures as a key facilitator. The frontline workers underlined that their position was a facilitator in itself, offering a unique viewpoint to the localities and to the lives of their clients. A key finding is also the normalcy of gambling that both the specialist and frontline workers regarded as a major barrier. The results show that studying the policy implementation context is important: it makes it possible to understand social and cultural factors that can function as barriers or facilitators.
