Ana Liffey Drug Project - Duck Dive & Survive Initiative - Crystal Clear Awards 2009

The 'Duck, Dive and Survive' series, currently, consists of two clearly written leaflets promoting essential Ana Liffey Drug Project services - the Peer Support Group and the Outreach Service. The leaflets focus on harm reduction, what services and support groups are available and other helpful phone numbers. These were developed using clear information and attractive, high standard graphic design.

ALDP plan to use the €3000 prize fund to establish a free text messaging service that will provide essential real-time information to service users.

The Ana Liffey Drug Project has entered into a process of developing the "Duck, Dive and Survive" series with the ALDP Peer Support Group. This initiative consists of the development of written literature that clearly communicates, in the language of the target group, key messages and information. The target group are active drug users and the messages regard essential Harm Reduction and Service Delivery information - without reliable and easily accessible information of this type the health of this section of the population is severely affected.

Outcomes of the "Duck, Dive and Survive" series include a reduction in risky drug taking behaviour that reduces the chances of infection, transmission of blood borne viruses and overdose. Also, a greater awareness of support services available to drug users and the creation of a dialogue on key issues within this vulnerable group.
