9 July 2008
Work on drafting of the Blueprint programme final impact report will be ongoing over the summer with the intention of releasing a final report by the end of October 2008.
The draft of the Blueprint programme final impact report is being prepared with the intention of the final report being released by the end of October 2008.
Blueprint is the largest research programme of its kind ever run in England. It is designed to test the delivery of an evidence-based drug education programme for young people, supported by work with parents, wider communities, local media and health professionals.
Home Office policy and research officials will work intensively over the summer with colleagues at the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and the research contractor team at the University of Stirling to ensure that programme findings are robust. The hope is to identify issues arising from the research and draw reliable conclusions from the enormous amount of research material generated by the programme.
The aim of the final impact report is to be a good quality and credible addition to the worldwide evidence base, as were the Blueprint delivery and practitioner reports released in November 2007 which have informed the DCSF's drug education review work over the spring.
