EU-wide approach to promoting safety and health in the social scene

nightlifeIn Zürich, at the Club Health congress on safety and health in the social scene, the Trimbos Institute presented the Healthy Nightlife Toolbox.

This is a European joint venture for developing and pooling knowledge and instruments to promote a safer and healthier nightlight environment for young people. Trimbos is project leader of the Healthy Nightlife Toolbox, and co-organiser of the Club Health congress.

The Healthy Nightlife Toolbox is aimed at prevention workers and policymakers in all EU countries. It is an international database which enables information exchange about knowledge, experience and scientific research on alcohol and drugs in the social scene. The programme is intended to enable professionals who work in nightlife settings to access information about effective means to make the social scene safer and healthier for young people.

The following can be accessed on the website of the Healthy Nightlife Toolbox:

  • interventions, with an indication of their effectiveness
  • abstracts of studies
  • contact information of experts throughout Europe in the area of alcohol, drugs and nightlife
  • digital manual on the prevention of drugs and alcohol in the social scene
