Table 2 sets out proposed objectives for different policy jurisdictions and operational settings within a Protection and Risk Reduction Approach to Prevention. It indicates that an important goal for supply reduction strategies is the achievement of an integrated set of operations and activities at the community level: supporting synergies between supply control, demand reduction and harm reduction programs. Program objectives for children include use reduction and delayed uptake of use; while among adults, harm reduction goals become more prominent.
Figure 3 summarises and integrates the main areas that are recommended for continued and enhanced investment to prevent drug-related harms. Central to this model is the close relationship between children’s drug use and the patterns of drug use modelled by adults, which reflects the literature suggesting that effective legal drug control influences illicit drug use and harm. A carefully coordinated mix of investment, rather than any single service strategy, has the greatest chance of success. The program complexity once again suggests the importance of tailoring the mix of investment to the specific and distinct needs of particular communities.
