Summary (goals and purposes of the project)
The general objective of SRAP is to tackle the prevention and reduction of use/abuse of legal/illegal substances among young Roma.
In order to contribute to this general aim it is necessary to better understand how drugs are used and perceived in Roma communities, particularly among young people, and what triggers drugs consumption and abuse.
Based on this assessment, prevention policies can be tailored to the specific situation and needs of Roma people.
The network of partners involved in the SRAP project will develop a multidisciplinary and transferable approach to prevention, with the objective of empowering young Roma people, and training addiction/prevention workers in Roma culture and specificities.



Results of the project
1. A better understanding of the phenomenon of addiction among young Roma: what triggers consumption and how young Roma use drugs.
2. A transferable intervention methodology tailored to the needs of young Roma, available to health workers in Europe.
3. Training health workers to enable them to relate to young Roma and provide Roma Communities with information on health and addiction services.
4. Enrolling young Roma in prevention actions, and raise their awareness about the effects of the use/abuse of drugs.
5. Ensuring that young Roma know about health services, and how they can benefit from them.
6. Setting up a pan-European network dedicated to addiction prevention and harm reduction among young Roma.
7. Raising awareness among policy makers and decision makers working in the areas of health, addiction and research about the issue of drug use/abuse among young Roma people.
