Dear Neil
You are right. There doesn't exist to much research on 'day programmes'
I transfer your question also to Veerle Raes, a Belgian researcher, that
studies the positive impact of the use of (diagnostic and action planning)
instruments on TC Results. She performs her study at the ambulantary centers
of " De Sleutel".
Good Lick

Subject: [EWODOR] Contemporary European Research on 'day programmes'
> Hello all,
>
> Can anyone help me identify contemporary European research on day
> programme delivery for drug problems?
>
> In case the term is not universally recognised, by 'day programme' I mean
> non-residential programmes that people attend,which usually provide some
> mix of life-skills, group therapy and support. In England they are hugely
> variable, which makes it tricky to offer a more specific definition. Some
> are abstinence orientated. Others not. Some are 5 days a week. Others are
> pick and mix and can be more sessional. Sometimes they are provided in
> conjunction with structured counselling or prescribing. Sometimes not. I
> have sometimes seen them referred to as 'ambulatory programmes' elsewhere
> in Europe.
>
> The reason for the enquiry is that an organisation I work for in England
> (KCA) provides some day programmes and also put on a conference about
> them last year. We are trying to create better opportunities for people to
> exchange learning about what works and what doesn't and are interested to
> incorporate a more international perspective at our next event on 3rd
> December 2008. However, they rarely seem to be the object of research as a
> treatment modality in their own right. We try to provide a mix of
> theoretical/academic content and more applied, workshop-based sessions at
> the conference.
>
> I'd be glad to receive any information that identifies possible
> research/speakers that we could consider. Please feel free to reply on or
> off-list or contact me on the phone numbers below.

> Many thanks
