Integrative review on place-based and other geographically defined responses to drug-related threats in communities
Place-based initiatives emerged originally in the field of health, guided by new ideas relating to the social determinants of health, the role of the socioecological context, implementation science, and the importance of community empowerment. Although there are considerable variations, it is possible to identify an underlying model which focuses on providing universal, structural interventions that seek to improve health and well-being by modifying the social context in which health-related behaviour occurs.
On behalf of the Department of Health, the Health Research Board commissioned this report to systematically review and synthesise the international evidence on place-based and other geographically defined responses to drug-related threats in communities. The key findings of the review are set out below under the four research questions.
