Abstract

A study was undertaken of over a hundred professionals working with drug users in one English county, drawn from health, community care, social services, the criminal justice system and a number of voluntary organisations. The study set out to discover perceptions of professional roles and in particular of the differing aims of drug education. Three distinct and conflicting models of education were described: education for prevention, education for harm minimisation and education for individual empowerment. Conflict of roles and responsibilities was evident and the favoured solution was clarification of aims.
