Les pratiques evidence-based dans l'aide proposée aux toxicomanes: connaissances, attitudes et applications

THESE LAST YEARS, A GROWING NUMBER OF PUBLICATIONS SHOW THE INTEREST AND THE NEED TO USE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES AND DIRECTIVES IN THE ASSISTANCE BROUGHT TO THE DRUG ADDICTS. THOSE PRESENT AN ANALOGY WITH THE TERM "EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE" REFERRING TO THE APPLICATION OF INTERVENTIONS AND MEDICAL REGULATIONS CONSIDERED TO BE EFFECTIVE WHICH WERE PROVEN SCIENTIFICALLY. WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE "RESEARCH PROGRAM IN SUPPORT OF THE FEDERAL DRUGS POLICY DOCUMENT ", A STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ANTWERP (UA), THE UNIVERSITY OF GENT (UGENT) AND THE RESEARCH CENTER IN SOCIAL DEFENSE (CRDS). IN THIS ARTICLE, WE SUMMARIZE PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS RESULTING FROM THIS STUDY RELATING TO THE INTERVENTIONS WHICH PRESENT SUFFICIENT SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, AND FROM THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE EVIDENCE-BASED DIRECTIVES FOR THE ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRUG ADDICTS. THEN, WE HIGHLIGHT KNOWLEDGE AND THE ATTITUDES RELATING TO THE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES AND DIRECTIVES OF PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITHIN THE AMBULATORY OR RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FOR THIS TARGET POPULATION. WE CONCLUDE ON THE EVIDENCE-BASED DIRECTIVES RECOMMENDED IN THE ASSISTANCE BROUGHT TO THE DRUG ADDICTS AS WELL AS THE WAY IN WHICH THEY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN BELGIUM.
