The project e-NEEDD follows several of the objectives proposed in the EuropeanStrategy of fight against drugs 2005-2012. In accordance with this strategic document,to cope successfully with the drug consumption prevention within the scholar field, it isconsidered indispensable to develop research and to implement training programmesfor teachers and other professional working in the educative environment. Weconsidered that collaborative work generates synergies that reinforces the quality ofoutcomes, and impels the visibility of the results.We trust that the present project will be the seed of a stable working-group, aimed tocarry out collaborative research projects, to implement applied solutions and to trainprofessionals in drug-prevention issues. Therefore, we understand that the creation of anetwork in prevention constitutes, by it self, an immediate goal.Other objectives are:1. To know the state-of-the-art in school preventive interventions and earlydetection actions of the drug consumption in the within the participantcountries.2. To identify and evaluate the formative lacks of our target population, inprevention of the drug consumption3. To elaborate and/or to validate an early detection scale that will help to identifyhigh risk individuals in order to implement suitable measures of selectiveprevention.4. To design and to evaluate a course on drug consumption prevention focusedon teachers, trainers and other professionals working in the secondaryeducation,These goals will produce the following concrete outcomes:1. A compared report on the prevalence of drug consumption between the youngpopulation and its trends of consumption.2. A comprehensive report on good practices on preventive interventions.3. An Early Detection Scale.4. An educative programme for designed and evaluated.The training capacity and the potential of dissemination of the partners assure theimpact of the results within the target population. In order to increase the visibility of theresults, the institutions will settle bonds with the official institutions in charge for thetraining of educational staff; actually most of the partners already keep professionalrelations within the framework of their daily activity. Finally, at the end of the project, weforesee to transfer the results to other UE countries and third countries, mainly LatinAmerica, through the networks in which already the partners participate.
