EVIDENCE ON SOCIAL INCORPORATION PROGRAMMES

The limited trajectory of research on social inclusion programmes means that no studies, meta-analyses or systematic reviews of the results obtained with the various strategies developed to facilitate social inclusion of people who are drug- dependent are available. This lack is compensated, at least in part, by the existence of an extensive and consistent relationship between principles or criteria with a wide consensus among professionals and organisations working in the field of social inclusion (supported by critical reflection and practice), acting as "well-established facts in social inclusion of drug-dependent people". The following criteria can be used as a guide to social inclusion programmes:

• Principles of social inclusion programmes aimed at drug-dependent people. +
• Characteristics to be taken into account when designing strategies to encourage the social inclusion of drug-dependent people. +
