In 2001 the Bureau s tasks were extended by coordination all activities of reducing drug demand and monitoring the implementation of the National Programme for Counteracting Drug Addiction Initiating and working on new legislative solutions Drafting National Programme for Counteracting Drug Addiction (NPCDA) and coordinating and monitoring its implementation, adopting strategy in line with EU priorities Supporting actions in demand reduction at local and regional levels Development of actions in prevention, rehabilitation and harm reduction Supporting and providing trainings for different groups of experts dealing with counteracting drug addiction Undertaking actions aiming to improve quality of prevention, rehabilitation and reintegration programmes Strengthening administrative (Council) and informational structures (National Focal Point) Preparing and launching anti-drug campaigns Conducting common international research projects e.g. ESPAD, European Quality Standards in Drug Prevention Cooperation with international organizations (EMCDDA, WHO, Pompidou Group, UNDCP)
3 Drug prevention in Poland Institutions main actors Law, regulation Ministry of Education Schools Ministry of Health NBDP Centre for Development of Education Tools Act of 29 July 2005 on counteracting drug addiction. National Programme for Counteracting Drug Addiction Provincial (16) and communal governments (2500) Database of Recommended Prevention Programmes NGO Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology System of recomendation
4 Drug prevention in Poland Alcohol licence fees are used to finance substance prevention (approx. EUR 125 million for alcohol prevention and EUR 16 million for drug prevention in 2009) Communal and provincial governments commission prevention programmes based on previously designed local and provincial anti-drug strategies NGOs are mostly responsible for prevention activities in Poland A large market of prevention services hundreds of programmes developed and implemented by NGOs Both local authorities and programme providers recognized the need to develop prevention standards
5 System of recommendation for prevention and mental health promotion programmes In 2009, a pilot assessment project of the recommendation system was conducted. Works on the recommendation system for prevention and health promotion programmes were launched upon initiative of the NBDP under the NPCDA The framework of the recommendation system was designed by the working team included representatives of institutions listed in the NPCDA as responsible for implementing the recommendation system, i.e: the National Bureau for Drug Prevention the Centre for Development of Education the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology the State Agency for Solving Alcohol Related Problems The system implementation was coordinated by the National Bureau for Drug Prevention.
6 Recommendation system Recommendation system aims Raising quality of prevention and health promotion programmes. Disseminating evidence-based practices/prevention and health promotion programmes. Promoting effective prevention strategies and programme development methods. Object of recommendation: Evaluation of the following types of programmes: promotion of mental health, substance prevention (drug prevention, alcohol prevention) Problem (risky) behaviour prevention in children and adolescents.
7 Grounds for programme assessment Recommendation system exists in the form of a document entitled Standards and quality criteria of health promotion and prevention programmes. The document provides guidelines for describing a programme which might be passed for evaluation and consequently be granted the status of a recommended programme Respective categories refer to programme s components and implementation stages (stage of planning and situation assessment, aims and activities, evaluation). Each category corresponds to a standard and assessment criteria.
8 Grounds for programme assessment standards Period since programme was implemented Problem/phenomenon description Programme aims and objectives Programme framework Target population Outcome Indicators Activities/tasks Funding/resources Implementation methods Process evaluation Outcome evaluation Sources of information in the programme Possibility of disseminating the programme
9 Three levels of recommendation Level 1. Promising programme its positive impact on behaviours and/or problems experienced by the target population has not been confirmed by sound methodological studies. However, its reasonable theoretical framework and previous implementation experiences evidenced by process evaluation results make one believe that the programme is likely to bring expected effects. Level 2. Good practice programme whose outcome evaluation referred to changes in intermediate factors (programme s specific objectives) and not the very changes in behaviour (programme s general aim), or it was conducted right after the intervention or it did not meet other methodological criteria. Level 3. Model programme results of sound methodological studies according to the criteria of Randomized Control Trial (random selection of respondents, sufficient sample to prove expected results, conducted by external experts, etc.) confirm a positive impact on problem behaviours and at least one year after the programme was completed (delayed outcome).
