Spanish project of best practice portal in drug demand reduction and behavioural addictions. Adiktologie, 23(1), 89–94. https://doi.org/10.35198/01-2023-002-0008
INTRODUCTION:
In Spain, the offer of prevention programmes is very varied and structured, but today the challenge remains how to put evidence into practice. European Commission define a best practice as “a relevant policy or intervention implemented in a real-life setting which has been favourably assessed in terms of adequacy (ethics and evidence) and equity as well as effectiveness and efficiency related to process and outcomes”. The aim of the study was to describe the Spanish Project of Best Practice Portal in Drug Demand Reduction and Behavioural Addictions (the BBPPA portal).
