Background: The STAD approach (STockholm prevents Alcohol and Drug problems) is an integrated prevention model aimed at reducing overserving, drug use, and drug dealing in nightlife settings. In the Netherlands, a four-year pilot is underway to culturally adapt the STAD model to the Dutch context, followed by its implementation and an evaluation of its effectiveness.
Methods: A literature review was conducted to inform the development of a comprehensive logic model that addresses both alcohol and drug use. Historically, these topics were treated separately within the STAD model, through Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) and a separate theoretical framework for Clubs Against Drugs.
In addition, interviews were conducted with key stakeholders to identify both opportunities and barriers for successful implementation.
Finally, a study visit to the original STAD project in Stockholm provided further insights into practical application and context-specific dynamics.
Results: The new integrated logic model consists of five key components: community mobilisation, improved enforcement, training, environmental changes and public information efforts. The barriers identified through the interviews with stakeholders mostly focused on the first three components and included issues such as absence of common goals, and lack of financial capacity and/or manpower.
Discussion: This presentation will outline the newly developed logic model and the activities undertaken or planned under the different key components. Important differences between the Dutch and Swedish nightlife and policy contexts that may influence implementation will be discussed. Stakeholder perspectives will be highlighted, including the identified challenges and enablers, as well as strategies used to address them. Finally, the presentation will offer a preview of the next steps in the pilot, including evaluation activities.
