Evaluation and Description of Drug Projects Working with Young People and Families Funded by Lloyds TSB Foundation Partnership Drugs Initiative

See also Summary Report

This report describes and evaluates a number of projects within the Partnership Drugs Initiative.

While there are a growing number of projects throughout the UK to assist young people who are vulnerable because of their own substance misuse or that of others, few of them have been subjected to any form of systematic evaluation. We therefore know very little about how effective they are and what works best and under what circumstances. The purpose of the present research was to contribute to that understanding by describing and evaluating a number of the projects within the Partnership Drug Initiative ( PDI), a Scottish-based funding programme that promotes voluntary sector work with children and young people affected by substance misuse.
