Digital technologies have a major impact on the daily lives of young people and are also used to seek information on and help with drug-related issues online.
The aim of this article was to analyze current online interventions for young drug users in Slovenia, with the purpose of contributing to the development of guidelines and key recommendations for effective online interventions.
This study was part of the project Click for Support. We performed a keyword search, received input from national experts in the field of drug prevention, and conducted an assessment of recognized national online interventions through workshop-based discussions with the target group of 20 young drug users.
The current online intervention services in Slovenia are satisfactory but are still not sufficiently recognized. The most important issues for young drug users were the design and functionality of the online intervention, presence of a clear structure, possibility of using it on smartphones, comprehensive and quick professional feedback, and data security. Playful elements and the ability to share (experiences) with other or former users were also recognized as important.
With effective online interventions, we can include more young drug users, facilitate access to a more affordable service, provide quick professional feedback on patterns of consumption, increase knowledge about the effects and consequences of drugs, and support the reduction or cessation of drug use. From the public health perspective, it is challenging to provide drug interventions broadly to the target group and, hence, decrease inequities.
数字技术对年轻人的日常生活产生重大影响，同时也被用于在网上查找与毒品相关问题的信息并寻求帮助。
本文旨在分析斯洛文尼亚目前针对年轻吸毒者的在线干预措施，以期为制定有效的在线干预指南和关键建议做出贡献。
本研究是“点击获取支持”项目的一部分。我们进行了关键词搜索，征求了毒品预防领域国家专家的意见，并通过与20名年轻吸毒者这一目标群体进行基于研讨会的讨论，对已认可的国家在线干预措施进行了评估。
斯洛文尼亚目前的在线干预服务令人满意，但仍未得到充分认可。对年轻吸毒者而言，最重要的问题是在线干预的设计与功能、是否有清晰的结构、能否在智能手机上使用、能否获得全面且快速的专业反馈以及数据安全。趣味性元素以及与其他或曾经的使用者分享（经历）的能力也被认为很重要。
通过有效的在线干预，我们可以让更多年轻吸毒者参与进来，使他们更容易获得更实惠的服务，就消费模式提供快速的专业反馈，增加对毒品影响和后果的了解，并支持减少或停止吸毒。从公共卫生角度来看，向目标群体广泛提供毒品干预措施并减少不平等现象具有挑战性。
