Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal for the project is to provide evidence-based information to drug users in a readable format, offering scientific facts to help them understand the current landscape of adulterants and how they can implement harm reduction and health promotion to their lives. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:


- Researching and compiling scientific facts and evidence-based information on adulterants and their effects.


- Creating a readable format for the public to understand the information.


- Developing strategies for implementing harm reduction and health promotion based on the gathered information.


- Collaborating with experts and frontline workers to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?


By the end of the project, learners should complete the following tasks:


- A comprehensive report containing evidence-based information on adulterants and their effects.


- A readable format for the public to understand the information, such as infographics or simplified text.


- Strategies and recommendations for implementing harm reduction and health promotion based on the gathered information.


- Collaboration with experts and frontline workers to validate the accuracy and relevance of the information.



Final deliverables should include:


- A final report with evidence-based information and recommendations.


- Readable formats for public dissemination.
