Info

The conclusions of this research corroborate, in an experimental way and from theperspective of a comparative study in Europe, what we knew about the expectationsamong ecstasy users, as well as the under-evaluation of its dangers and, at the sametime, the overvaluation of its efficacy among non consumers.As a result of the investigation it becomes clear the need for a programme planningand the setting of a series of different prevention strategies according to the type of useand the degree of drug involvement among young ecstasy users.I can’t but agree with these objectives, provided they were included in the widercontext of primary prevention, where the efforts of IREFREA traditionally andinstitutionally have always been directed.Francesco De FazioPresident of IREFREA10
