This report details the demographic profile, referral sources in, and the exit status upon leaving, of those individuals in contact with structured treatment stating non-opiate substance use, incorporating Alcohol Amphetamines, Cannabis, Cocaine and Ecstasy (AACCE). Analysis was conducted to compare this AACCE group to those in treatment who have entered due to opiate use to determine whether AACCE clients are a distinct group when compared to opiate users, who constitute the majority of those in structured drug treatment. This themed report attempts to evidence the scale and pace of change in presentations to Tier 3 and 4 services in the North West.

It has been demonstrated that injecting drug users are initiated into injecting by their peers and that promoting health initiatives to socially marginalised groups demands creative approaches. Peer led approaches are both innovative and creative in their philosophy and practice and evidence suggests that peer educators are considered a reliable and trustworthy source. The Peer to Peer Project (P2P) was originally developed by Lighthouse Project (LHP) in 2006, to deliver a programme of training modules to past and current drug users in Liverpool and Sefton, with the main aims of challenging misinformation, increasing knowledge of safe drug using practices and encouraging the dissemination of this information throughout substance using communities. In 2008, LHP received funding to facilitate Phase Two of the P2P Project, consisting of two simultaneous programmes in Liverpool, which ran from September 2008 until May 2009. In response to the evaluation recommendations of Phase One, training delivery consisted of two parts; the first replicated the original P2P format of six weekly structured peer education sessions; while the second, a course of eight training and reflection sessions, provided emphasis on personal and professional development. This report presents the evaluation findings of Phase Two of the P2P Project.
