- Abstract
- An evaluation of the Belgian drug policy: do the policy intentions remain intact? Although Belgium has had the same drug policy for more than 20 years, it has never been subjected to a thorough evaluation. This article presents the conclusions of an overall evaluation of Belgian drug policy. The triangulation of different research methods (focus groups (four, n=32), semi-structured interviews (n=39), document analyses) allowed the evaluation to examine how policy intentions (‘policy in the books’) relate to policy in practice. The evaluation revealed a discrepancy between both, in particular with regard to an integral and integrated drug policy, the intention to adopt an evidence-based approach, and contradictions in the policy of normalization.
