Evaluating Drug Control Initiatives Conference Proceedings

Participants indicated a need for technical assistance in developing and conducting evaluations, information sharing about evaluation techniques, and direct funding for evaluation research. Participants expressed the need for "how to" guides on evaluation research and findings from specific evaluation projects. Participants also indicated that future Federal initiatives should target education/prevention and treatment programs as well as law enforcement programs in the battle against drug abuse. The next step in evaluating drug control programs is for evaluators, analysts, and researchers at Federal, State, and local levels to exchange the evaluation results from the programs that were the focus of this conference.
