The program: “Implementation of the Servicio Comunitario pilot program for the prevention of the harm of alcohol and other drugs” represents the third phase of the evaluation process of the Responsible Service program.
The process must conclude with the accreditation that the program is effective, efficient, and with proven preventive quality that incorporates the gender perspective. The program is based on a multicomponent methodology inspired by proven preventive evidence methodologies such as the STAD program:
- Training for nightlife professionals.
- A strong community involvement of all actors related to safety, health and grassroots organizations.
- Compliance with current legal provisions on alcohol and public safety.
The program is based on an exhaustive evaluation of design, processes, results and impact in order to demonstrate its efficiency, effectiveness and efficacy.
The program is currently in the initial phase. For the city of Valencia (Spain) as an experimental city, community coordination is being carried out to form the motor group and the community group.
The development of the first phase of the program will focus on a specific neighborhood in the city of Valencia.
