Start
of a new project phase:
Correlation II –
European Network Social Inclusion & Health
Correlation continues its activities for a 3 years period, starting
in april 2009. The overall aim of Correlation II is to tackle
health inequalities, and to improve prevention, care and treatment
services, targeting BBID’s, in particular HIV/AIDS and
Hepatitis C among vulnerable and high risk populations (e.g.
drug users, young people at risk, sex workers).
The project will approach the issue from different angles and
with interventions which have been identified as effective.
Therefore the activities will be organised in 5 core work packages:
- Outreach / Early Intervention
- E-Health
- Peer Support
- Hepatis C
- HIV/AIDS and Policy
The project will:
- Review models of good practice
- Implement field testings
- Develop guidance documents
- Develop and implement training modules
- Support and strengthen capacities of health service providers
- Influence policy agenda’s by formulating science-based
policy recommendations

The
European Commission has launched a study report on global illicit
drugs markets 1998-2007.
The document provides the key findings of a project assessing
how the global market for drugs developed from 1998 to 2007
and describing drug policy around the globe during that period.
To the extent data allows, the project assessed how much policy
measures, at the national and sub-national levels, have influenced
drug problems. The analysis is focused on policy relevant matters
but it does not attempt to make recommendations to governments.
The work was performed by the Trimbos Institute and the RAND
Corporation under contract to the European Commission Directorate-General
for Freedom, Justice and Security.
