ABOUT US - RESEARCH

To understand the needs of adults and young people, as well as community issues related to substance misuse across Worcestershire the W:DAAT commission a range of research projects.

The type of research undertaken will depend on what the partnership working groups have highlighted as an area where we need more information in order to effectively address local needs. Examples of previous research includes social reintegration, alcohol, housing and homelessness, young people’s substance misuse and BME groups.
