Introduction or preface
Drug abuse and addiction behaviors are a social and public health problem with serious consequences for the community, both in health and socio-economic fields. Therefore, it is essential to develop a culture and a system of evaluation of treatment's outcomes delivered in public and private Addiction Services, to support either clinical practice or actions of social and health planning. In Italy, the "culture of data", as regards the field of addictions, and the evaluation of the treatment effectiveness are still limited and restricted to specific geographical areas. This paper presents an evaluation system based on the integration of the epidemiological information flow on Addiction (SIND) with other available flows and the application of specific statistical analyses, aiming at studying the effectiveness of the delivered treatments.
