Sažetak
Since 2010, Office for Combating Drug Abuse of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, and University of Zagreb, Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, have been conducting collaborative projects with the purpose of improving Croatian drug use prevention efforts, programs and strategies. Implementing a new program, strategy or in a broader sense knowledge and innovation is a comprehensive process that needs to be facilitated through variety of supporting mechanisms. The exquisite example of knowledge translation into practice is development and implementation of the European Drug Prevention Quality Standards - EDPQS which is adopted in Croatia through collaborative projects of the Office and University of Zagreb (Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences) and is recognized in EDPQS publications and projects. Efforts in the aforementioned will be presented in the paper through the preliminary results of the project (data collection is still in progress). The needs and resources assessment through program providers’, decision makers’ and researchers’ perspective will be discussed. The aim of this research is to explore opportunities and challenges within the current state of prevention knowledge translation in order to facilitate this process more systematically and in an effective manner. The data was collected by an online survey for prevention programs providers (survey is still active, N=208) and 3 focus groups with program providers, decision makers and researchers (N=23). Concepts of initial readiness for knowledge translation were explored with emphasis on motivation for innovation implementation and organizational capacities specific for innovation adoption. Discussion on how this example could be engaged as a potential approach for culture of prevention development will be facilitated.
