Prevention
Innovative drug misuse prevention targeting young people, youth participation and involvement of families, promoting healthy lifestyles, comprehensive assessment and evaluation are among focus of activities in the multi-faceted field of prevention. Special attention is given to local realities of prevention in order to identify the most effective and practical solutions to specific trends.
Drug prevention requires comprehensive and long-term view because it takes place in an environment of multiple and interlinked factors and addresses a range of needs. The evaluation of drug prevention should focus on defining and promulgating quality standards for project and programmes and their implementation, and on eliminating the programmes and practices that clearly do not work or make things worse.
Prevention Prize
The Pompidou Group's European Prevention Prize was first launched in 2004. It is awarded every two years. In each two-year cycle, up to three prizes are awarded.

Prevention Drugs in the Workplace
A communication tool, in the form of a PowerPoint document, has been prepared to promote and improve the accessibility of the Frame of Reference. It will be presented to representatives of employers, employees, trade union organisations and public authorities, in order to identify the factors driving or impeding implementation.
