Evaluation of the Multicultural Drug and Alcohol Service

A formative evaluation will be conducted to assist with the establishment of the Multicultural Alcohol and Drug Service; a two-year pilot program aiming to reduce alcohol and other drug related harms among South Sudanese youth and the broader community in the City of Yarra. An outcome evaluation will also be conducted in the late stages of the pilot to assess the extent to which the activities implemented have improved service access, community capacity and affected system change.
