DPAS paper 16: delivering drug services to black and minority ethnic communities

This report gives a clear overview of the issues surrounding the delivery of drug prevention and drug services to black and minority ethnic communities. The research used existing literature and was built around case studies in six Drug Action Team areas. We interviewed 99 professionals involved in commissioning, planning and delivering drug services and carried out a community consultation exercise which involved 13 group discussions with more than 100 people from a range of communities. We also interviewed 14 practitioners and policy makers who were not based in the case study areas, but who were known to be experts in the area of ethnicity and drugs. Analysis of the British Crime Survey and the Regional Drug Misuse Database gave the study an important balance.
