European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (Ed.). (2011). European drug prevention quality standards : a manual for prevention professionals. Manuals, 7. Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union.
Abstract: Prevention is one of the first approaches to be mentioned when public debate and policy address drug use and drug-related problems. Regularly, measures of prevention are presented as a means to overcome existing or future problems. However, evidence of ‘what works’ in practice is often overlooked. Similarly, research has shown examples where preventive efforts produced no or detrimental effects. This publication will help steer efforts in the right direction. Using an empirically derived reference framework, it bridges the gaps between science, policy and practice. Based on an overview of existing standards in Europe and beyond, a number of highly respected experts from EU Member States and international organisations worked together to prepare the publication. More than 400 national experts and stakeholders were included in a Delphi panel study and in a number of focus groups, which produced in-depth discussions as well as a consensus on the most important recommendations. The European Commission provided the funding for the original project on prevention standards and its results are now published within the EMCDDA Manuals series. In this series, information, advice, and guidance are offered to professionals and practitioners. Well structured and with many useful tables and figures, this publication will help its users as they progress from a first needs assessment to the delivery of an intervention and its final evaluation. Correct implementation of prevention measures with evidence-based components and anchoring them within existing structures and services (or activities) is key to ensuring effectiveness and it helps to avoid unintended iatrogenic effects. This manual will provide valuable guidance in this respect and allow preventive interventions to reach their full potential.

various. (2012). Guidelines for the evaluation of drug prevention : a manual for programme planners and evaluators (European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, Ed.) (2nd ed.). Manuals, 8. Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities.
Abstract: Prevention is a key consideration when discussing substance use and related problems. Drug prevention is any activity that delays or reduces the use of substances. Preventing substance use potentially makes other interventions, especially targeting treatment and harm reduction, unnecessary. Evaluation of the various interventions is essential to develop and improve existing approaches and to work towards creating a best practice in drug prevention. The EMCDDA first published the Guidelines for the evaluation of drug prevention in 1998 to respond to a need expressed by professionals and policymakers to have a tool and stimulus to evaluate prevention interventions in Europe. These guidelines aimed to facilitate and encourage project leaders to evaluate their own interventions and to design them accordingly. This second edition is an updated version of the original EMCDDA guidelines, which contains new methods, concepts and examples of currently available drug prevention interventions and which provides a framework for carrying out an evaluation. The content has also been updated with developments in online EMCDDA drug prevention and evaluation resources. Since publication of the first edition, prevention professionals who continue to apply these guidelines have contributed to the increased attention given to evaluation and prevention. However, although guidance on drug prevention is available in some Member States, only a minority of interventions in the European Union have an outcome evaluation. Even large, wellfunded projects are still not fully evaluated and the availability of empirical evidence concerning prevention is weak. These guidelines are intended for professionals working in the drug prevention and evaluation field and can provide valuable guidance when planning and evaluating prevention activities. The intention to develop best practice in drug prevention, as expressed in the 2005–8 and 2009–12 EU drugs action plans, and the fact that evaluation is now widely used in Member States’ drug policy, testify to the importance placed on drug prevention and evaluation in the European Union. The aim of this publication is to raise the profile of both drug prevention and evaluation methodologies and to provide prevention practitioners with an up-to-date framework, to enable their interventions and evaluations to reach their full potential.
