Sažetak
Since 2010, Ofce for Combating Drugs 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 new program or a strategy is a comprehensive process that needs to be facilitated through variety of supporting mechanisms. The exquisite example of transferring knowledge into practice is development and implementation of the European Drug Prevention Quality Standards - EDPQS (Brotherhood and Sumnall, 2011) which is adopted in Croatia through one of the mentioned collaborative projects of the Ofce and Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences. Efforts in the aforementioned will be presented in the paper through program providers’ and decision makers’, particularly with respect to study participants’ educational background (pedagogy, social pedagogy, psychology, medicine, social work) main feld of work (health/medicine, education, social welfare) and role in prevention work (coordinator, implementer). The aim of this research is to explore opportunities and challenges within the current state of the EDPQS implementation in order to facilitate this process more systematically and in an effective manner. The data have been 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). Concept of initial readiness for transfer of knowledge (EDPQS) to practice (prevention programs) was explored with an emphasis on motivation and specifc organizational capacities for EDPQS adoption.
