21 Healthy Nightlife Toolbox General objective: To support the identification and implementation of effective preventive interventions that address emerging trends in alcohol and drug use in nightlife settings, especially regarding ecstasy, cocaine, amphetamines & cannabis.

22 Specific objectives A. Development of a web-based toolbox for prevention workers and policymakers that : o o enables them to have easy access to high quality preventive measures and programs concerning substance (ab)use in nightlife settings and stimulates them to develop/implement high quality preventive programs in their MS/municipality. B. Stimulate exchange among EU MS, so EU MS can learn from each others experiences on prevention of substance (ab)use in nightlife settings.

23 Results achieved Development of a web-based toolbox for prevention workers and policymakers in EU Member States, which enables easy access to the databases and handbook. Four databases were developed with a) relevant literature on interventions; b) relevant literature on related issues; c) high quality interventions; and d) contacts for advice or consultation haven been developed. Handbook was developed and tested in two countries, pilot tests were very positive.

24 2011 HIV and co-infections prevention strategies - concepts for the future, Royal Tropical Institute (NL) Specific objectives: To produce a comprehensive mapping and analysis, with a systematic assessment of the response to the HIV infection, needs analysis, identification of gaps and challenges, a systematic review of what the effective HIV interventions were and what is potentially not working per region and per risk group Results achieved: 31 country reports prepared in 2012, taking as reference the year 2011, presenting the analysis of the drivers of the HIV epidemic; coverage of HIV prevention programmes, with a special focus on the most affected regions or countries per priority group, including IDUs.
