MANDATE
The
purpose of the Group of Experts on Demand
Reduction is to provide technical expertise,
facilitate cooperation among countries, and submit
recommendations to the Commission on implementing the
lines of action that derive from the Hemispheric Strategy
on Drugs.
The
Group is made up of national experts in
different aspects of demand reduction, and hence the
experts may vary with the subject considered.
The
priority subjects of demand reduction are:
-
Performance
of a diagnosis of drug use, epidemiological
studies, systems of information (such as SIDUC)
and of surveillance and monitoring, and
bio-medical, clinical, psychosocial,
epidemiological, ethnographic and anthropological
research.
-
Prevention
and education models and programs involving
community participation, designed both for the
population at large and for specific groups at
special risk of becoming users.
-
Models
and programs of intervention to address the
adverse health and social consequences of drug
abuse.
-
Measures
for the treatment and rehabilitation of persons
addicted and their reintegration- into the
community.
