Background In 2013, around 40 % of the schools in Sweden had structured programs to prevent tobacco and alcohol debut in compulsory school. There has unfortunately been a lack of scientific evidence to support most of the prevention methods focusing on primary prevention in schools in Sweden. The aim and purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Non-Governmental Organization SMART contract-signing strategy in reducing the growth of youth substance use and other problem behaviors amongst Swedish adolescents. Methods Students from five schools in a medium-sized Swedish municipality were surveyed in three waves from 7th to 9th grade of compulsory school. We used General Linear Model (GLM) repeated-measures ANOVA to test if the outcome measures smoking, use of snus and alcohol, drunkenness, delinquency, and bullying significantly changed different amounts over time in groups that had participated in the SMART program for long time, a short time, sporadically- or not at all. Groups were compared on demographic background variables, and outcome measures were assessed on all measurement occasions by a one-way ANOVA. The magnitude of group differences at the end of the study was estimated according to Cohen’s d. Results Number of years with a contract has an effect on the levels of self-reported youth problems in 9th grade. We found small to medium-sized differences in measured outcomes between students who participated in the program for the longest period of time, 5 years, and who participated for the shortest time, 0–2 years. Conclusion Findings suggests that the SMART program has preventive effects on adolescent substance use.

Abstract Background Tobacco has long been known to be one of the most common reasons for sickness and premature deaths in the world. An important aspect of tobacco use is the youth's access to tobacco, and surveillance visits are one way to make sure how retailers are complying with age limit in the tobacco law. In Örebro County, Sweden, a project to reinforce the tobacco legislation was carried out in 2009-2010. One part of the project was surveillance visits that were done according to three different themes, called thematic surveillance. Methods This study is an evaluation of the results from thematic surveillance and has a mixed methods approach. The quantitative analyses concerns protocols from 217 surveillance visits, where questions were asked about three themes (self-monitoring programs; marketing; labeling of products and pricing). In addition, questionnaires filled out by six tobacco administrators who worked within the project were analyzed qualitatively by content analysis in order to study their perceptions and opinions of the project. Results This study shows that half of the visited retailers had self-monitoring programs. Lack of self-monitoring programs was significantly more common in smaller stores/kiosks and at restaurants. Further, the tobacco administrators who worked within the project perceived thematic surveillance as a good method for accomplishing better structure in surveillance work, but not as effective as purchase attempts (mystery shopping). Conclusions Thematic surveillance was perceived as positive and the method was also regarded to be a good way to work with surveillance. However, the method could be developed further for optimal use and better effect at the retailers. It is clear that people who work with tobacco prevention at the local level in Örebro County want to use purchase attempts as a surveillance method, and that they believe that purchase attempts is the best way to make sure if store comply with the tobacco law.

Abstract Background The present study is an evaluation of a 3-year parental program aiming to prevent underage drinking. The intervention was implemented by a non-governmental organization and targeted parents with children aged 13-16 years old and included recurrent activities during the entire period of secondary school. The program consisted of four different types of group and self-administered activities: parent meetings, family dialogues, friend meetings, and family meetings. Methods A quasi-experimental design was used following parents and children with questionnaires during the three years of secondary school. The analytic sample consisted of 509 dyads of parents and children. Measures of parental attitudes and behaviour concerning underage drinking and adolescents' lifetime alcohol consumption and drunkenness were used. Three socio-demographic factors were included: parental education, school, and gender of the child. A Latent Growth Modelling (LGM) approach was used to examine changes in parental behaviour regarding youth drinking and in young people's drinking behaviour. To test for the pre-post test differences in parental attitudes repeated measures ANOVA were used. Results The results showed that parents in the program maintained their restrictive attitude toward underage drinking to a higher degree than non-participating parents. Adolescents of participants were on average one year older than adolescents with non-participating parents when they made their alcohol debut. They were also less likely to have ever been drunk in school year 9. Conclusion The results of the study suggested that Strong and Clear contributed to maintaining parents' restrictive attitude toward underage drinking during secondary school, postponing alcohol debut among the adolescents, and significantly reducing their drunkenness.

Abstract Background Alcohol and drug prevention is high on the public health agenda in many countries. An increasing trend is the call for evidence-based practice. In Sweden in 2002 an innovative project portfolio including an integrated research and competence-building strategy for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) was designed by the National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW). This research strategy case study is based on this initiative. Methods The embedded case study includes 135 projects in 69 organisations and 14 in-depth process or effect studies. The data in the case study has been compiled using multiple methods - administrative data; interviews and questionnaires to project leaders; focus group discussions and seminars; direct and participatory observations, interviews, and documentation of implementation; consultations with the NBHW and the NGOs; and a literature review. Annual reports have been submitted each year and three bi-national conferences Reflections on preventions have been held. Results A broad range of organisations have been included in the NBHW project portfolio. A minority of the project were run by Alcohol or drug organisations, while a majority has children or adolescents as target groups. In order to develop a trustful partnership between practitioners, national agencies and researchers a series of measures were developed and implemented: meeting with project leaders, project dialogues and consultations, competence strengthening, support to documentation, in-depth studies and national conferences. A common element was that the projects were program-driven and not research-driven interventions. The role of researchers-as-technical advisors was suitable for the fostering of a trustful partnership for research and development. The independence of the NGOs was regarded as important for the momentum in the project implementation. The research strategy also includes elements of participatory research. Conclusions This research strategy case study shows that it is possible to integrate research into alcohol and drug prevention programs run by NGOs, and thereby contribute to a more evidence-based practice. A core element is developing a trustful partnership between the researchers and the organisations. Moreover, the funding agency must acknowledge the importance of knowledge development and allocating resources to research groups that is capable of cooperating with practitioners and NGOs.

Public aspects of medicine ,RA1-1270 - Abstract
Abstract Background In previous public health surveys large differences in health have been shown between citizens living in different neighbourhoods in the Örebro municipality, which has about 125000 inhabitants. The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of health with an emphasis on the importance of neighbourhood characteristics such as the influence of neighbourhood social cohesion and social capital. The point of departure in this study was a conceptual model inspired by the work of Carpiano, where different factors related to the neighbourhood have been used to find associations to individual self-rated health. Methods We used data from the survey 'Life & Health 2004' sent to inhabitants aged 18-84 years in Örebro municipality, Sweden. The respondents (n = 2346) answered a postal questionnaire about living conditions, housing conditions, health risk factors and individual health. The outcome variable was self-rated health. In the analysis we applied logistic regression modelling in various model steps following a conceptual model. Results The results show that poor self-rated health was associated with social capital, such as lack of personal support and no experience of being made proud even after controlling for strong factors related to health, such as age, disability pension, ethnicity and economic stress. Also the neighbourhood factors, housing area and residential stability were associated with self-rated health. Poor self-rated health was more common among people living in areas with predominately large blocks of flats or areas outside the city centre. Moreover, people who had lived in the same area 1-5 years reported poor health more frequently than those who had lived there longer. Conclusions The importance of the neighbourhood and social capital for individual health is confirmed in this study. The neighbourhoods could be emphasized as settings for health promotion. They can be constructed to promote social interaction which in turn supports the development of social networks, social support and social capital - all important determinants of health.

Public aspects of medicine ,RA1-1270 - Abstract
Abstract Background Alcohol consumption among adolescents is a serious public health concern. Research has shown that prevention programs targeting parents can help prevent underage drinking. The problem is that parental participation in these kinds of interventions is generally low. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine non-participation in a parental support program aiming to prevent underage alcohol drinking. The Health Belief Model has been used as a tool for the analysis. Methods To understand non-participation in a parental program a quasi-experimental mixed-method design was used. The participants in the study were invited to participate in a parental program targeting parents with children in school years 7-9. A questionnaire was sent home to the parents before the program started. Two follow-up surveys were also carried out. The inclusion criteria for the study were that the parents had answered the questionnaire in school year 7 and either of the questionnaires in the two subsequent school years (n = 455). Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to examine reasons for non-participation. The final follow-up questionnaire included an opened-ended question about reasons for non-participation. A qualitative content analysis was carried out and the two largest categories were included in the third model of the multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results Educational level was the most important socio-demographic factor for predicting non-participation. Parents with a lower level of education were less likely to participate than those who were more educated. Factors associated with adolescents and alcohol did not seem to be of significant importance. Instead, program-related factors predicted non-participation, e.g. parents who did not perceive any need for the intervention and who did not attend the information meeting were more likely to be non-participants. Practical issues, like time demands, also seemed to be important. Conclusion To design a parental program that attracts parents independently of educational level seems to be an important challenge for the future as well as program marketing. This is something that must be considered when implementing prevention programs.

Abstract Background Poor mental health has large social and economic consequences both for the individual and society. In Sweden, the prevalence of mental health symptoms has increased since the beginning of the 1990s. There is a need for a better understanding of the area for planning preventive activities and health care. Methods The study is based on a postal survey questionnaire sent to a random sample of men and women aged 18–84 years in 2004. The overall response rate was 64%. The area investigated covers 55 municipalities with about one million inhabitants in central part of Sweden. The study population includes 42,448 respondents. Mental health was measured with self-reported symptoms of anxiety/depression (EQ-5D, 5th question). The association between socio-economic conditions, lifestyle factors and mental health symptoms was investigated using multivariate multinomial logistic regression models. Results About 40% of women and 30% of men reported that they were moderately or extremely anxious or depressed. Younger subjects reported poorer mental health than older subjects, the best mental health was found at ages 65–74 years. Factors that were strongly and independently related to mental health symptoms were poor social support, experiences of being belittled, employment status (receiving a disability pension and unemployment), economic hardship, critical life events, and functional disability. A strong association was also found between how burdensome domestic work was experienced and anxiety/depression. This was true for both men and women. Educational level was not associated with mental health symptoms. Of lifestyle factors, physical inactivity, underweight and risk consumption of alcohol were independently associated with mental health symptoms. Conclusion Our results support the notion that a ground for good mental health includes balance in social relations, in domestic work and in employment as well as in personal economy both among men and women. In addition, physical inactivity, underweight and risk consumption of alcohol are associated with mental health symptoms independent of socio-economic factors.

Public aspects of medicine ,RA1-1270 - Abstract
Abstract Background Non-concordance with medication remains a major public health problem that imposes a considerable financial burden on the health care system, and there is still a need for studies on correlates of non-concordance. Our first aim is to analyse whether any of the individual characteristics age, educational level, financial strain, self-rated health, social participation, and trust in the health care system are associated with primary non-concordance with medication. Our second aim is to investigate whether people living in the same area have similar probability of primary non-concordance with medication, that relates to area social participation. Methods We analysed cross sectional data from 9 070 women and 6 795 men aged 18 to 79 years, living in 78 areas in central Sweden, who participated in the Life & Health year 2000 survey, with multilevel logistic regression (individuals at the first level and areas at the second level). Results Younger age, financial strain, low self-rated health, and low trust in the health care system were associated with primary non-concordance with medication. However, area social participation was not related to primary non-concordance, and the variation in primary non-concordance between the areas was small. Conclusion Our results indicate that people in central Sweden with younger age, financial difficulties, low self-rated health, and low trust in the health care system may have a higher probability of primary non-concordance with medication. However, the area of residence – as defined by administrative boundaries – seems to play a minor role for primary non-concordance.

Kurikul je nastao u sklopu LLP Comenius projekta RESCUR – Razvoj Europskog kurikuluma za razvoj otpornosti djece predškolske i osnovnoškolske dobi (2012.-2015.). Cilj projekta bio je razvoj Europskog kurikuluma otpornosti za djecu predškolske i osnovnoškolske dobi putem međukulturalne i međunarodne suradnje. Projekt je realiziran uz koordinaciju Sveučilišta u Malti, a u njemu su sudjelovali i: Sveučilište na Kreti (Grčka), Sveučilište u Lisabonu (Portugal), Sveučilište u Orebru (Švedska), Sveučilište u Paviji (Italija) i Sveučilište u Zagrebu (Hrvatska). Radi se o kurikulumu koji znatno pridonosi realizaciji Nacionalnog kurikuluma ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, ali i budućem nacionalnom kurikulumu osnovnoškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja. Razvijen je na temelju trenutačnih društvenih, ekonomskih i tehnoloških potreba i izazova suvremenog djetinjstva i roditeljstva te nastoji kod djece razviti kompetencije potrebne za svladavanje takvih izazova, kako bi ona kao mladi građani Europe mogla ostvarivati akademske uspjehe te društvenu i emocionalnu dobrobit. Ovaj je priručnik jedan od ukupno 5 priručnika nastalih u sklopu projekta, a uključuje niz aktivnosti koje učitelji(ce) mogu provoditi u razredu s djecom mlađe osnovnoškolske dobi. Aktivnosti su organizirane u šest tematskih cjelina - razvoj komunikacijskih vještina, uspostavljanje i održavanje zdravih odnosa, razvoj pozitivnog mišljenja, razvoj samoodređenja, izgradnja osobne snage te pretvaranje izazova u prilike. Svaka tematska cjelina započinje sa sažetim teorijskim uvodom te se nastavlja s aktivnostima organiziranima u dvije sadržajno povezane podteme. Svaka aktivnost predstavljena je kroz ciljeve i ishode učenja, potreban pribor i opis tijeka aktivnosti, a završava s prijedlogom povezane aktivnosti koju djeca mogu napraviti kod kuće s članovima obitelji.

Background The aim of the study was to address the lack of evaluations of school-based substance use prevention programs and to conduct a quasi-experimental evaluation of the alcohol use part of the Triad intervention. Methods Eleven Swedish intervention schools (285 pupils) and three control schools (159 pupils) participated in the evaluation. Baseline measurements were conducted in 2011 before the alcohol part in the prevention program was implemented in the intervention schools (school year 6, ages 12–13). We estimated an Intention-To-Treat (ITT) Difference-in-Difference (DD) model to analyze the effectiveness of the intervention on subsequent alcohol use measured in grades 7, 8 and 9. Results The main results show no effect on the likelihood of drinking alcohol or drinking to intoxication. Conclusions The lack of positive effects highlights the need for policy-makers and public health officials need to carefully consider and evaluate prevention programs in order to ensure that they are worthwhile from school, health, and societal perspectives.

Many countries have adopted abstinence guidelines for pregnant women, due to uncertainty around the risk of harm caused by small amounts of alcohol. There is a lack of research exploring frontline midwives' attitudes towards alcohol use during pregnancy and comparisons of practices in different countries. Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with midwives working in Liverpool, England (n = 7) and Örebro County, Sweden (n = 9). Data were analysed inductively, using thematic analysis with thematic networks. The findings show that all midwives believed pregnant women should be advised not to consume any alcohol during pregnancy and there is a need to tailor their approach to the individual. A key concern among midwives in both countries was how to advise about alcohol exposure that occurs before the pregnancy is known to the woman. English midwives discussed the uncertainty around the risk of consuming small amounts of alcohol, whereas Swedish midwives believed any amount of alcohol was associated with risk. Discussing alcohol was viewed as part of the health professional's role, but routine questions for all women were perceived to aid discussions about alcohol. Future research should further explore the impact of wider social and political environment on midwives' attitudes around risks with prenatal alcohol use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Parents and family are very important for a young person's health and development, but knowledge is scarce on how young people perceive them. The aim of this study is to give voice to adolescent girls' and boys' perceptions of how parents and families should be. Nineteen adolescents were interviewed. A descriptive design and a qualitative content approach were used to analyse the interview material. To make the approach participatory, young students were involved as partners. They did some pilot interviews, and their conclusions were used during the planning of the study. The results show that adolescents regard their parents and family as very important to them. Everybody in the family has shared responsibility for it, and it is important to spend time together, i.e., ‘to do family’. Moreover, parents have special obligations; in particular, they have a duty to ensure a good future for their children., Kompetenta familjer - ideal och realitet i familjestöd i Karlskoga och Degerfors

The aim of this study is to report on a brief alcohol intervention for preventing drinking during pregnancy. The Women’s Organizations Committee on Alcohol and Drug Issues (WOCAD) in Swe-den developed an informational brochure about alcohol during pregnancy, intended to reach pregnant women before their first visit at a prenatal clinic. A randomized controlled trial was conducted between 2004 and 2005 to measure whether the brochure had any effect. A total of 564 pregnant women between 17 and 46 years of age are included in the study. Differences between the intervention and control groups were analyzed with cross-tabulations and chi-squared tests. A multiple logistic regression analysis was also conducted to determine predictors of abstention from alcohol at the first prenatal visit. Findings show that significantly more of the women who received the brochure abstained completely from alcohol then of those who did not receive it (92% vs. 82%, p= 0.005). It was 2.6 times more likely that those who received the brochure had abstained completely from alcohol since pregnancy recognition at their first prenatal visit com-pared with those who did not receive it (OR = 2.6, CI 1.3 - 5.1, p = 0.005). We conclude that the in-formational brochure developed by WOCAD can be used in prenatal care to get more women to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy.

Introduction: Verbal autopsy in maternal and neonatal deaths is commonly used in developing countries to understand the medical and social causes of death in the community. Bangladesh first undertook a community verbal autopsy program in 2010. This was implemented under the maternal and neonatal death review (MNDR) system. Objectives: To know the process of implementation of community verbal autopsy, its acceptability and effect in maternal and neonatal health, Bangladesh. Methods: A qualitative study was performed In two districts of Bangladesh in 2011. A review of documents, observations, focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with health care providers from different systems. Data were analysed using a thematic approach Results: Community verbal autopsy was developed in Bangladesh using existing available tools and guidelines. First line field supervisors from health and family planning departments conducted verbal autopsies at the deceased’s home. It has been adopted within the government health system and is able to identify medical and social causes, including delays within the community that are the major contributing factors of maternal and neonatal deaths. Verbal autopsy findings are shared at the Upazila level (sub-district) and these influence the development and implementation of local action plans. Recall bias and hard to reach areas are still challenges to be overcome in the conduction of verbal autopsies. Conclusions: The use of community verbal autopsy to identify medical and social causes of maternal and neonatal deaths is possible in an encouraging country context. The Government health system can comfortably conduct autopsies within the community. The findings of autopsy can be an effective tool and can be used by the local health and family planning managers to take the initiative at local level to improve health status of the mother and newborn.

Objective: Leisure-time is an important part of young people’s lives. One way to reduce social differences in health is to improve adolescents’ living conditions, for example by enhancing the quality of after-school activities. Multicultural, socially deprived suburbs have less youth participation in organized leisure-time activities. This study explores who the participants are at two NGO-run youth-centers in multicultural, socially deprived suburbs in Sweden and whether socio-demographic, health-related, and leisure-time factors affect the targeted participation. Methods: The study can be seen as an explanatory mixed-methods study where qualitative data help explain initial quantitative results. The included data are a survey with youth (n = 207), seven individual interviews with staff, and six focus-groups interviews with young people at two youth-centers in two different cities. Results and Conclusions: The participants in the youth-centers are Swedish born youths having foreign-born parents who live with both parents, often in crowded apartments with many siblings. Moreover they feel healthy, enjoy school and have good contact with their parents. It seems that strategies for recruiting youths to youth-centers have a large impact on who participates. One way to succeed in having a more equal gender and ethnicity distribution is to offer youth activities that are a natural step forward from children’s activities. The youth-centers’ proximity is also of importance for participation, in these types of neighborhoods.

Regeringsföreträdare och representanter för civila sektorn förutspår fortsatt växande idéburet engagemang, allt fler idéburna aktörer samt ökad professionalisering inom sektorn. Detta innebär att olika kunskaper och kompetenser blir allt viktigare för de idéburna organisationerna. Syftet med artikeln är att belysa jordmån för att kunna bedriva ett framgångsrikt ANDT-förebyggande arbete (Alkohol, Narkotika, Dopning, Tobak) inom en idéburen organisation. I resultatet framhålls vikten av att samhällets förebyggande aktörer accepterar varandras styrkor samt kompletterar varandra utifrån dessa. För att nå framgång i det förebyggande arbetet lyfts vikten av ett strukturerat, målinriktat, forsknings- och kunskapsbaserat arbete. Att vissa ekonomiska och politiska förutsättningar är uppfyllda framhålls också som viktigt för att nå framgång. Likaså en närmre kontakt och ett utökat samarbete mellan myndigheter, idéburna och forskare., Government representatives and representatives of the civil sector predicts continued growth in civil society commitment, more and more actors in NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) and increased professionalization of the sector. This means that different knowledge and skills are increasingly important for the NGOs. The aim of this article is to describe preconditions for conducting a successful ANDT prevention (Alcohol, Drugs, Doping, Tobacco) within a NGO. This result emphasizes the importance of community prevention stakeholders accepting each other’s strengths and complementarities. The importance of a structured, goal-oriented, research and knowledge-based work for success in prevention work is emphasized. Important for success is that certain economic and political conditions are fulfilled. Similarly, a closer contact and cooperation between government agencies, non-profit and researchers is also needed.

I denna rapport presenterar forskarteamet en samlad reflektion kring idéburna organisationers roll och redovisar en lägesrapport kring arbetet med FoU inom satsningen. I kapitel 1 presenteras den nationella ANDT-strategin och idéburna organisationers arbete i relation till den. Insatser för att nå nationella strategins mål krävs av flera sektorer i samhället. I de årliga åtgärdsprogrammen inom strategin är ett prioriterat mål "Ett ökat deltagande av föräldrar, idéburna organisationer och näringsliv i det förebyggande arbetet" (prioriterat mål 3.5). Som Regeringskansliet konstaterar är ett naturligt led i fördjupningen av det förebyggande arbetet att samverka med idéburna organisationerna inom området. De idéburna organisationerna har viktiga roller i det drogpolitiska arbetet och bidrar med insatser som aktivt leder till att klyftan mellan dagens situation och målbilderna minskas. Kapitel 2 handlar om hur ANDT-förebyggande arbete värderas. Kravet på att verksamheter skall vara evidens- eller kunskapsbaserade gäller alltfler områden. I detta kapitel diskuteras frågan om kunskapsbasering utifrån olika faser i kunskapsutvecklingen. I kapitlet presenteras en standard för kvalitetet på studier av effekt, effektivitet och spridbarhet i stor skala för preventionsprogram. Vidare presenteras evidens- och kunskapsbaserat arbete och praktiska aspekter att ta hänsyn till. I kapitel 3 ges perspektiv på hur idéburna organisationers arbete värderas. Det påverkas bland annat av syftet till varför de ges statliga bidrag, hur detta stöd ser ut, varför det skall värderas och vad som skall värderas. Andra aspekter att ta hänsyn till är vilka värden i den idéburna verksamheten som skall mätas, vilka de ska jämföras med och vem som ska värdera eller utvärdera verksamheten. I kapitlet lyfts också frågan "Ska de idéburna verksamheternas insatser värderas utifrån deras resultat eller finns det andra mervärden som utifrån de idéburna organisationernas särart kan bidra med något ytterligare?". Ett resonemang förs också kring vad som ska värderas. Kapitel 4 handlar om framgångsrikt ANDT-förebyggande arbete. Det inleds med en belysning av metoder och komponenter som genom tidigare forskning visat resultat i det ANDT-förebyggande arbetet. Detta görs i relation till ANDT-strategins mål och till de idéburna organisationernas arbete. Kapitlet forsätter sedan med ett avsnitt som handlar om framgångsrikt organisationsarbete och forskarteamets erfarenheter av de idéburna organisationernas arbete. I kapitel 5 förs ett resonemang kring de idéburna organisationernas unika möjligheter som kan ge mervärden i det ANDT-förebyggande arbetet. Kapitlet bygger dels på forskarteamets samlade erfarenheter (2003-2013) och dels på röster från projektledarna inom satsningen. Kapitlet avslutas med ett resonemang kring bidragsgivning till idéburna organisationers ANDT-förebyggande arbete. I kapitel 6 presenteras forskningsprogrammets etik, metodik och praktik. Forskningsprogrammet syftar till att öka kunskapsbasen för det ANDT-förebyggande arbetet genom att samverka med idéburna organisationer, som erhållit medel från Folkhälsomyndigheten, i studier av det förebyggande arbetets förutsättningar, genomförande och resultat. Forskningen fyller ett behov av mer kunskap om det förebyggande arbete som ingår i regeringens ANDT-strategi. Forskningsprogrammet omfattar en rad komponenter som redovisas, som utvecklats för att skapa goda förutsättningar för en praktiknära preventionsforskning och ett förtroendefullt samarbete mellan idéburna organisationer och forskarteamet vid Örebro universitet. I kapitel 7 ges en överblick av de projekt som ingår i Folkhälsomyndighetens projektportfölj år 2013 och kapitel 8 innehåller en presentation av konferensen Reflektion kring prevention. Kapitel 9-14 ger en presentation av forskarteamets aktuella fördjupningsstudier. Projektledarstudien (kapitel 9) som påbörjades år 2003 i och med att FoU-satsningen inleddes, bygger på att ett hundratal projektledare delat med sig av sina erfarenheter av att vara projektledare i en idéburen organisation. Det övergripande syftet med studien är att belysa vilka projektledarna är inom satsningen, bidra till ett lärande om projektledandets konst samt belysa mervärdet av att förebyggande arbete bedrivs av idéburna organisationer. Studien Skolan som arena för ANDT-förebyggande arbete (kapitel 10) påbörjades 2011 med huvudinriktningen att utvärdera två drogförebyggande program som genomförs i skolan – kontraktsmetoden och Triaden. Organisationerna som genomför interventionerna är SMART och Team 49. Studien avser att studera om de skolbaserade preventionsprogrammen har någon effekt på barn och ungdomars drogbruk. Fritiden som arena för ANDT-förebyggande arbete (kapitel 11) är en studie om ungdomars hälsa och fritidsverksamhet. Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om betydelsen av ungdomars fritidsaktiviteter. Studien vill se vilken betydelse idéburna organisationers insatser under fritiden har för ungdomars utveckling och drogfria uppväxt. Två organisationer som bedriver fritidsverksamhet deltar i studien; Fritidsforum och Verdandi Tensta/Rinkeby. Studien Genusinriktad ANDT-prevention har som övergripande syfte att förbättra kunskapsbasen för det alkohol- och drogförebyggande arbetet bland unga tjejer. I en longitudinell studie följs utvecklingen hos unga tjejer 12-25 år med särskild inriktning på psykisk hälsa. Studien avser att försöka identifiera vad genusanpassade verksamheter betyder för dessa unga tjejer. I studien ingår två organisationer; Kvinnoorganisationernas Samarbetsråd i Alkohol- och Narkotikafrågor (KSAN) och Tjejzonen. I kapitel 13 presenteras studien Kraft och vilja att nå fram. Studien inriktas på ANDT-förebyggande arbete inom projekt inriktade mot olika etniska och sociala målgrupper, innefattande både barn och vuxna, som kan anses befinna sig i riskzon på olika sätt. Förhoppningen är att kunna visa på värdet av att idéburna organisationer bedriver insatser för olika etniska och socialt utsatta grupper. Centralt för studien är att kartlägga vilka som deltar i de idéburna organisationernas verksamheter, och vad deltagandet betyder för de som deltar. I kapitel 14 presenteras Protecting You – Protecting Me, en studie av förmedling av kunskap om hälsa under skolår 1-5. Forskningsprojektet avser att i en kontrollerad efterundersökning se på betydelsen av genomförandet av programmet Protecting You – Protecting Me (PYPM) som är ett amerikanskt preventionsprogram kring alkohol, droger, mediciner och trafik. Den vetenskapliga frågeställningen är om undervisningen bidrar till att barnen utvecklar kunskap och medvetenhet om hjärna, hälsa och goda levandsvanor, som på sikt kan förebygga alkoholbruk och droganvändning., Finansieras av Folkhälsomyndigheten i Sverige

Inom ramen för regeringens program för alkohol-, narkotika-, dopnings- och tobaksfrågor (ANDT) har Folkhälsomyndigheten utlyst medel till idéburna organisationer för ANDT-förebyggande arbete. Denna projektsammanställning bygger på ansökningar från de idéburna organisationer som beviljats anslag inom ramen för utlysningen under 2014. Syftet med projektsammanställningen är att ge en samlad bild av den verksamhet som genomförs av idéburna organisationer inom ANDT-området under 2014. Den ger en kort beskrivning av varje projekt och innehåller kontaktuppgifter till organisationerna och projektledarna. Förhoppningen är att kontaktuppgifterna ska främja och underlätta samverkan och erfarenhetsutbyte mellan olika projekt inom satsningen. Sammanställningen innefattar 36 projekt som drivs av 32 olika idéburna organisationer. Dessa ingår i forskarteamet vid Örebro universitets uppdrag att dokumentera och följa. Projekten redovisas i bokstavsordning efter organisation. Varje projekt inleds med fakta om organisationen som genomför verksamheten. Därefter redovisas projektet under följande huvudrubriker: Ansökta och beviljade medel, Projektsammanfattning, Projektets verksamhet 2014 samt Kontaktuppgifter. All text baseras på projektens egna ansökningar och försöker i möjligaste mån återge organisationernas egen beskrivning av projektet. Forskarteamets nuvarande medlemmar har alla deltagit i arbetet och står gemensamt för sammanställningen. Särskilt ansvarig för årets projektsammanställning har Ingela Fredriksson varit.

I Sverige ges stora summor till det civila samhället och betydelsen av dess kunskap, erfarenhet och engagemang är en vital del av arbetet med att nå målen i ANDT-strategin. Sedan 2003 är ett forskarteam vid Örebro universitet engagerade för forskning, dokumentation och stöd till idéburna organisationerna inom regeringens ANDT-satsning. Kunskap om de som arbetar ANDT-förebyggande inom idéburna organisationerna är viktig då dessa personer ofta har en betydande roll för projektens resultat. Denna artikel belyser projektledarnas bakgrund, arbetsuppgifter samt deras roll som projektledare. Vår ”typiska” projektledare har många likheter med ideellt engagerade, men även med de som arbetar med ANDT-förebyggande inom det offentliga. Samtidigt är de en heterogen grupp beroende av vilka organisationer de representerar., In Sweden large grants are given to civil society and the importance of its knowledge, experience and dedication is a vital part to achieve the objectives within the governmental ANDT-strategy. Since 2003, a research team at Örebro University is engaged for research, documentation and support to NGOs within this governmental investment. Knowledge about persons working with ANDT prevention in NGOs is important because these people often have a significant role for the project. This paper highlights the project managers' background, tasks, and their role as project manager. Our "typical" project manager has many similarities with Swedish volunteers, but also with those who work with ANDT prevention within the state. However, they are a heterogeneous group concerning the organizations they represent.

Att idéburna organisationer är viktiga aktörer i ANDT-förebyggande arbetet (Alkohol, Narkotika, Dopning, Tobak) råder det enighet om både i litteraturen och i politiska dokument. Däremot behövs mer kunskap kring det unika med den ideella sektorns arbete. Denna artikel syftar till att belysa mervärden och hinder med att idéburna organisationer arbetar ANDT-förebyggande. En enkätundersökning har genomförts med projektledare inom idéburna organisationer. Resultaten visar att det är i relation till offentlig verksamhet som projektledarna beskriver många upplevda mervärden och hinder. Mervärden och hinder är också i hög grad relaterade till den idéburna organisationens särart. Svårigheter med samverkan och de möjligheter man ser att tillsammans kunna skapa ett framgångsrikt arbete är andra viktiga faktorer liksom hinder som uppkommer på grund av kortsiktig finansiering., There is agreement both in literature and policy documents that civil society organizations are key players in ANDT prevention (Alcohol, Drugs, Doping, Tobacco). However, more knowledge is needed concerning the uniqueness of the voluntary sector’s work. This article aims to highlight the values and barriers with NGOs working with ANDT-prevention. A survey has been conducted with project managers in NGOs. The results show that project managers describe many perceived values and barriers in relation to the public sector. Values and barriers are also largely related to the uniqueness of the NGOs. Other important factors are difficulties with interaction and the ability to work together to create a successful work, as well as barriers that arise because of short term financing.

Think tanks are non-governmental institutions – intellectually, organizationally and financially autonomous of government, political parties and organized interests – that are set up with the aim of influencing policy. The Swedish think tank Tobaksfakta, as a nonprofit organization, was formed by Health Professionals against Tobacco in October 2010, and has a number of member organizations. It is a national independent player focusing on measures to reduce tobacco use. The goal is that Tobaksfakta contributes continuously to reducing tobacco use toward a society free of tobacco. A quality evaluation has been conducted by an external panel in five phases: (1) Planning and selection of approach, (2) Collection of data on Tobaksfakta, (3) Self-evaluations, (4) External assessment by a panel of independent experts, and (5) Measures and follow-up. As background to the evaluation, there is a short review of what a think tank is. Then, the scene for tobacco prevention in Sweden is set by giving data on tobacco consumption, an overall Swedish map of tobacco prevention, and a presentation of some controversial issues. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control sets the global agenda and also the framework for the activities of Tobaksfakta. A SWOT analysis provides an overall assessment of Tobaksfakta. Its strengths include competence, having an effective organization and member organizations, and being a strong provider of information and opinion leaders. Weaknesses include limited economic and human resources, low involvement in activities by member organizations, too broad a focus, and a limited impact on decision-making. Threats include poor economic resources, the perception that tobacco is no longer an issue, and weakness in national tobacco prevention efforts. Among the opportunities available is a new three-year business plan, strengthening of communicative work, networking and extended cooperation, the Tobacco End Game, and new efforts at national and international levels. The evaluation considered organizational structure and resources, goal structure and work processes (monitoring, investigations, knowledge materials, website, press activities, twitter and social media, dissemination of knowledge, and European and international tobacco prevention work). The panel assessed the information and communication work of Tobaksfakta as of high quality, relevant, and timely. The Tobacco Industry Project has functioned as an important vehicle for the overall efforts made by Tobaksfakta The project has performed impressive work in relation to relatively limited economic resources. Although time has run out for the project, the need for its activities will continue for so long as the activities pursued by the tobacco industry continue. Therefore, it is recommended that Tobaksfakta continues to act as a watchdog on the tobacco industry. The Tobacco End Game is a challenging and future-oriented project that has a great potential. Tobaksfakta wants a Swedish government that, after the 2014 elections, reaches a decision on a plan to phase out smoking by 2025. The idea is that such a decision shall be achieved by advocacy at all levels of society. Further development of the Tobacco End Game is recommended as a key developmental effort. Overall assessments and recommendations are: Tobaksfakta is a classic think tank but needs independent financing. It shall continue with intellectual argument not covert lobbying. Tobaksfakta is one of the key actors on the landscape of tobacco prevention. Focusing on structural issues gives added value. The think tank is an efficient and professional organization. Tobaksfakta has an international role to play.

Statens folkhälsoinstitut har regeringens uppdrag att fördela medel till alkohol- och drogförebyggande arbete som bland annat bedrivs av idéburna organisationer. Inom ramen för denna satsning drivs ett forskningsprogram med syfte att öka kunskapsbasen för det ANDT-förebyggande (Alkohol, Narkotika, Dopning, Tobak) arbetet. FoU-satsningen innehåller insatser för att främja en god dokumentation av verksamheterna och en systematisk uppföljning av det förebyggande arbetets förutsättningar, genomförande och resultat. En förutsättning för denna praktiknära forskning är ett respektfullt partnerskap mellan myndigheter, praktiker och forskare. Forskarteamet har också ansvaret för att vartannat år genomföra en nationell konferens (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012), Reflektion kring prevention, där de idéburna organisationernas arbete har varit i fokus. Forskningsprogrammets syfte är att öka kunskapsbasen för det ANDT-förebyggande arbetet genom att samverka med idéburna organisationer i studier av det förebyggande arbetets förutsättningar, genomförande och resultat. Forskningsprogrammet har följande delsyften: I. Att utveckla och tillämpa en forskningsstrategi för studier av idéburna organisationers ANDT-förebyggande arbete – samverkan och vetenskaplig ledning av forskningen, II. Att göra vetenskaplig uppföljning av ett urval projekt och övriga projekt ges anvisningar, råd och stöd för dokumentation av verksamheten, III. Att följa och sprida aktuell kunskap, IV. Att årligen presentera rapporter till Statens folkhälsoinstitut. Dessa delsyften utgör rapportens fyra första delar: I. Utveckla och tillämpa en forskningsstrategi Samverkan har under året bland annat skett genom två gemensamma projektledarträffar: 20/3 (27 personer) och 27/9 (30 personer). Båda träffarna hade temat projektledning och erfarenhetsutbyte. Under året har möten genomförts med organisationer för att tillsammans diskutera utveckling av utvärderingar och studier av enskilda projekt. Den särskilda verksamhetsrapporten, som redovisar alla projekt inom satsningen under 2011 presenterades i maj 2012. Den vetenskapliga ledningen innebär att med god kvalitet planera och genomföra forskning. Det innebär bland annat att få prövat forskningen av den regionala etiska nämnden och att söka ekonomiska anslag för verksamheten, vilket görs för att möjliggöra fördjupat vetenskapligt arbete. Våra publikationer kvalitetsgranskas. En viktig del i år är Susanna Geidnes doktorsavhandling The Non-Governmental Organization as a Health Promoting Setting – Examples from Alcohol Prevention Projects conducted in the Context of National Support to NGOs, som granskades vid den offentliga disputationen den 28 september 2012. II. Vetenskapligt följa Under året har tre fördjupningsstudier pågått med datainsamling och analys: Fördjupningsstudier kring skolan som arena (Triaden och Smart), fritiden (Fritidsforum och Verdandi Stockholmskretsen) och genusinriktad ANDT-prevention (Tjejzonen och KSAN). Slutrapporten om det tidigare projektet Föräldrar tillsammans presenterades. En ny fördjupningsstudie har också planerats under året: Kraft och vilja att nå fram - en studie av ANDT-prevention bland några etniska och sociala grupper. I årets rapport redovisas projektledarnas erfarenhet av det preventiva arbetet som framkommit genom de fem projektledarenkäter som genomförts under åren. III. Följa och sprida kunskap Forskarteamet presenterar resultaten som feedback till organisationerna inom sex månader efter datainsamlingen. Därefter publiceras resultaten internationellt, vetenskapligt och på en rad olika sätt för att nå olika målgrupper. Inom ramen för forskningsprogrammet har under året en doktorsavhandling publicerats - Susanna Geidne: The Non-Governmental Organization as a Health Promoting Setting – Examples from Alcohol Prevention Projects conducted in the Context of National Support to NGOs, Örebro universitet, 2012. Vi har under året också presenterat erfarenheter från vårt arbete genom vetenskapliga artiklar, rapporter samt presentationer vid svenska och internationella konferenser. Den fjärde konferensen Reflektion kring prevention genomfördes under två dagar i juni 2012. Konferensen var en framgång och en mötesplats för personer från idéburna organisationer och andra aktörer. IV. Rapportera till Statens folkhälsoinstitut Under året har tre olika rapporter lämnats till Statens folkhälsoinstitut. Verksamhetsrapport 2011 med kraft och vilja, 2012:1, Med kraft och vilja 2011, 2012:2 samt Föräldrar Tillsammans- en longitudinell interventionsstudie av stöd till tonårsfamiljer 2007-2010, 2012:3. V. Reflektera och arbeta För kunskapsutveckling är det centralt att tänka och arbeta systematiskt. Det är positivit att kunskapsutveckling är integrerad i satsningen. Den akademiska basen är en tillgång. Samarbetet med organisationerna har fungerat bra både generellt och i fördjupningsstudierna. Samverkan ger möjligheter men samverkan behöver vårdas. Bland utmaningarna i arbetet med att utveckla kunskap kan nämnas balansen mellan forskningskvalitet och praktisk relevans. Det gäller att producera relevant kunskap för praktiker och beslutsfattare, men samtidigt göra det på ett vetenskapligt och professionellt acceptabelt sätt. Därför har samarbetet inom denna satsning ett stort mervärde. Att tillsammans reflektera och dela erfarenheter är berikande och skapar ett mervärde i forskningsarbetet som fortsätter i linje med det pågående arbetet. Det är för oss en glädje att få bidra till utvecklingen inom ett område med så mycket kraft och vilja.

Syfte: Inom ramen för regeringens program för alkohol-, narkotika-, dopnings- och tobaksfrågor (ANDT) har Statens Folkhälsoinstitut utlyst medel till idéburna organisationer för ANDT-förebyggande arbete. Denna rapport bygger på inlämnade ansökningar, delrapporter och verksamhetsrapporter från idéburna organisationer som beviljats anslag inom ramen för utlysningen under 2012. Syftet med verksamhetsdokumentationen är att ge en samlad bild av den verksamhet som genomförs av idéburna organisationer inom ANDT-området och därmed kunna tjäna som underlag till Statens folkhälsoinstitut för den redovisning som staten kräver av bidragsmottagare. Dokumentationen syftar också till att ge en fördjupad kunskap om ANDT- förebyggande arbete inom idéburna organisationer. Projektportfölj: Denna rapport innefattar 48 projekt som drivs av idéburna organisationer som beviljats medel för ANDT-förebyggande arbete inom ramen för Statens folkhälsoinstituts projektportfölj. Dessa projekt har ingått i forskarteamet vid Örebro universitets uppdrag att dokumentera och följa. Under 2012 omfattade forskarteamets uppdrag verksamheter inom 37 organisationer med 48 olika projekt. Metod: Mallar för ansökningar och verksamhetsrapporter är sedan 2011 utformade av Statens folkhälsoinstitut på webbaserade formulär. Dessa skickas in direkt till Statens folkhälsoinstitut och följer deras riktlinjer och innehåll som gäller för alla sökande. Det vill säga inte bara idéburna organisationer utan även kommuner, landsting/länsstyrelser, universitet/högskolor och privata företag/stiftelser. Deras formulär för ansökan och rapport utgår från regeringens övergripande politiska mål för respektive område inom ANDT- strategin och frågorna relateras till dessa. Tidigare verksamhetsrapporter har byggt på en rapportmall som utformats inom FoU-arbetet där organisationerna lämnat in alla verksamhetsrapporter direkt till forskarteamet. Dessa har haft en annan utformning och större omfattning. Årets verksamhetsrapport har därför ett delvis annat innehåll än tidigare år. Mallen för delrapporten är utformad av forskarteamet vid Örebro universitet. Denna skickades ut av forskarteamet till alla projektledare som i sin tur rapporterade tillbaka direkt till forskarteamet. Delrapporten fokuserar på eventuella förändringar som kan ha skett från den ursprungliga projektplanen enligt ansökan. Projekten redovisas i denna rapport i bokstavsordning efter organisation. Varje projekt inleds med fakta om organisationen som genomför verksamheten. Därefter redovisas projektet under följande huvudrubriker: Ansökta och beviljade medel, Bakgrund, Projektets mål och inriktning enligt ansökan, Förändringar av projektplanen, Genomförande och resultat enligt slutrapporten samt För mer information om projektet kontakta. All text baseras på projektens egna skrivningar i ansökningar och rapporter och försöker i möjligaset mån återge deras egna upplevelser av projektet. Underrubrikerna kan variera något för att på bästa sätt återge projektens egna beskrivningar. I slutet av rapporten redogör forskarteamet för några sammanfattande erfarenheter kring ansökningarna, delrapporterna och verksamhetsrapporterna.

Background: Qualitative studies have aimed to understand why some women continue to drink during pregnancy; however, there is a lack of comparative cross-cultural research. We aimed to explore perceptions and practices of alcohol use during pregnancy in England and Sweden. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 parents in Merseyside, England and 22 parents in O¨ rebro County, Sweden. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and translated. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The majority of women in both countries abstained from alcohol when they found out they were pregnant, despite alcohol being part of many social contexts before pregnancy. Nine of the seventeen English women drank at some point during pregnancy, typically on special occasions. Most parents felt women should modify their alcohol intake when they become mothers, though several English parents argued that responsible motherhood did not necessarily equate to abstinence. Swedish parents held strong opinions against drinking during pregnancy and argued that any amount of alcohol could harm the foetus. English parents' opinions were divided; some were skeptical of whether low to moderate drinking was associated with risks. Conclusions: Practices and attitudes towards alcohol use during pregnancy and views on foetal rights and responsibilities of pregnant women differed in England and Sweden. Shared social norms around drinking may be shaped within the policy context of pregnancy drinking guidelines, determining whether women consume alcohol or not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Förord: Inom ramen för regeringens satsning på alkohol- och drogförebyggande insatser har Statens folkhälsoinstitut (FHI) gett stöd till ett flertal frivilligorganisationer eller organisationer inom den idéburna sektorn, som denna viktiga verksamhet allt oftare kallas. Inom ramen för dessa medel har vår forskargrupp fått möjlighet att bedriva olika former av FoU. Vi har i vårt arbete tänkt långsiktigt även om medlen numera beviljas ett år i taget.Denna årets rapport har till syfte att lyfta fram olika insatser under 2011. Verksamheterna som ingår i FHI:s projektportfölj beskrivs kortfattat i denna rapport men en mer utförlig redovisning med kontaktuppgifter finns i rapporten Verksamhetsrapport 2011 - Med kraft och vilja.Målsättningen med denna rapport är att i del I beskriva satsningens uppbyggnad och inriktning – utgångspunkter och perspektiv, projektportföljen 2011och vårt arbetssätt. Del II ger en översikt av FoU-verksamheten – pågående studier, att vara projektledare 2011 och planeringen inför konferensen Reflektion kring prevention 2012. Del III ger några perspektiv och reflektioner kring årets arbete.Medverkande i rapporten är forskarteamet som består av forskarassistent Camilla Pettersson (Fil.Dr.), projektsekreterarna Madelene Larsson (doktorand), Susanna Geidne (doktorand), Josefine Börjesson (doktorand och disputerade i psykologi i Umeå hösten 2011) och Ingela Fredriksson samt professor Charli Eriksson. Under året har medarbetare varit föräldralediga periodvis på deltid eller heltid. Detta medförde, i kombination med andra externa forskningsanslag, att vi har varit flera personer som delat på arbetet under året. Vi har bidragit med olika delar i rapporten men alla har läst och står gemensamt för rapporten., Kraft och vilja

Bakgrund: Föräldrar Tillsammans är ett föräldrastödsprogram som framarbetats av nykterhetsorganisationen IOGT-NTO. Programmet liknar ÖPP, Örebro Preventions Program. Programmet syftar till att stärka vuxna i sin roll som tonårsföräldrar genom att påverka föräldrarnas attityder och beteenden kring alkohol och ungdomar. Föräldrarna pratar om gemensamma förhållningssätt kring deras barn och alkohol och skriver en gemensam överenskommelsen för vad som ska gälla deras barn. Detta ska i sin tur minska alkoholkonsumtionen bland högstadieungdomar. Syfte: Syftet med utvärderingen har varit att försöka identifiera effekter av programmet. Forskningsprogrammet har i en longitudinell studie följt utvecklingen hos tonåringar och deras föräldrar. Detta har skett med avseende på familjeliv, kommunikation och levnadsvanor med särskild inriktning på alkohol som en utvärdering av föräldrastödsprogrammet. IOGT-NTO hade önskemål om att undersöka om programmet ger samma effekt om det genomförs med start för föräldrar i skolår 7 som i skolår 8. Därför har programmet testats i studien med start såväl i skolår 7 som i skolår 8 år 2008. Metod: Studien genomfördes 2007-2010. Totalt deltog 13 skolor i Halland, Jönköping, Kronoberg, Norrbotten, Skåne, Södermanland och Uppsala. Studien har en klusterrandomiserad design vilket innebär att deltagande skolor har slumpats på gruppnivå till att tillhöra antingen interventionsgrupp eller kontrollgrupp. Det innebar att sju skolor kom att tillhöra interventionsgruppen och sex skolor kontrollgruppen. Interventionsskolorna erbjöds programmet Föräldrar Tillsammans för föräldrar i skolår 7 och 8 med start våren 2008. Baslinjemätningen bland ungdomar och föräldrar genomfördes våren 2008 i både interventions- och kontrollskolorna. Uppföljande mätningar under de två följande åren gjordes tills ungdomarna slutade skolår 9. Föräldrarna besvarade enkäten ytterligare en gång då deras barn gick i skolår 9. Eleverna besvarade sina enkäter i skolan medan föräldrarna fick sina enkäter hemskickade med post. Totalt ingick 1684 elever och 1312 föräldrar. Resultat: Programmet har effekt på ungdomarnas alkoholkonsumtion om det introduceras i skolår 8 (grupp 2) men inte om det startar i skolår 7 (grupp 1). Färre ungdomar i interventionsgruppen i skolår 9 (grupp 2) definieras som alkoholkonsumenter i jämförelse med ungdomarna i kontrollgruppen, flickorna i grupp 2 berusar sig i mindre utsträckning än kontrollgruppens flickor och färre ungdomar i grupp 2 i jämförelse med kontrollgruppens ungdomar rapporterar att deras kamrater dricker alkohol. I grupp 2 minskade också andelen föräldrar i kontrollgruppen vid T1 som ansåg att gemensamma värderingar med andra föräldrar har en förebyggande effekt på alkoholbruk bland ungdomar. Denna minskning kunde inte urskiljas i interventionsgruppen eller i grupp 1. Slutsatser: Sammanfattningsvis går det inte att se några resultat om programmet introduceras bland föräldrarna i skolår 7. Detta innebär att timingen av programmet har betydelse för att få de effekter som resultatet visar. Detta ger ny kunskap om vikten av under vilka skolår program genomförs., Funding Agency:Systembolagets råd för alkoholforskning (SRA), Med kraft och vilja
