‘Making
voices heard’ -
study on access to health and social services for substance
users
Ancella Voets, Ferenc Marvanykovi, Atanas Rusev, Dusan Nolimal,e.al
One of the fields of activity of the Correlation network over
the past few years has been to stimulate and support the development
of comprehensive national policies on social inclusion and health
promotion targeting marginalised populations. The ‘ policy
group’ of the network discussed effective approaches to
contribute to that aim and stimulated the development of research
in that area.
The Research Institute on Drug Studies (RIDS) in Hungary
centred its research on barriers to access to social and health
treatment for problem drug users currently out of treatment.
The main goal of the survey carried out by Foundation Mainline
in The Netherlands was to find out what barriers Moroccan hard
drug users in Amsterdam encounter when they intend to enter
different forms of (drug) care.
The survey of the Initiative for Health Foundation in Bulgaria
aiming to identify means of treatment of drug dependencies and
the barriers obstructing the access among problem drug users
The Institute of Public Health in Slovenia was especially
interested in the possibility for participation of drug users
in different research phases and in the final political discussion.
On content level, key research questions were whether assistance
programmes are sufficiently accessible to drug users and what
the users experience as barriers to obtaining general and specialised
help offered by the health care, social and non-governmental
sector.
In the final section gives recommendations and provides a basic
toolkit on how to use research n the political debate.
