VAD and the ECAT network have the pleasure of inviting you to the European ECAT conference: 'Empower the Community in response to Alcohol Threats'

Friday 24 October 2008
Flemish Parliament | Leuvenseweg 86 | 1000 Brussels | Belgium

ECAT is an EC-co-funded project that aims to enhance the effectiveness of local alcohol prevention campaigns, based on:

· guidelines for local campaigning, built on evidence based practice;

· local quick scan analysis to describe the local situation on alcohol use, as a starting point to develop local actions and more specifically local alcohol prevention campaigns;

· evaluation of the reach and visibility of the local alcohol prevention campaigns.

We present the conceptual frame of the ECAT methodology and the field experiences in the local communities of the participating countries: Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Belgium.
