How can it work in the west of Ireland?

3

What is the difference between Ireland and Iceland?

4

The pillars of success –Everywhere the same

Evidence – you need the mapping

Community – focus on your local settings

Dialogue – between different actors

How to get started

6

The first step is always to do the mapping in the relevant community / municipality

Nothing happens without the local information, status and risk/protective factors

7

Municipalities become members

Fees for the full guidance program for 5 years?

Nine to fourteen thousand Euros pr. annum average

For the full program, guidance and support

Twenty five step coordination

Why coordinated processesBest possible data for practical purposes

Data must be comparable between communities

For accuracy and best possible information

Maximizing response rates

Crucial to have coordinated data for scientific papers

Increased interest from Universities and collaboration

Aim

To provide field workers and policy makers with evidence

so they can act accordingly toward lower substance use

amongst children and adolescents.

A, B, & CA) Collect information / Map situation

B) Process info/data and risk/protective factors

C) Provide “easy to use” local information

◦ Once this is finished, the work can begin
