Abstract
While outreach is a common modality for delivering alcohol and other drug support services, little is known about its role for young people experiencing difficulties associated with alcohol and other drug consumption. In this article, we conduct a review of international literature on youth alcohol and other drug outreach to identify features of high-quality outreach models and document major themes or issues. We found relatively little research on youth alcohol and other drug outreach over the last decade, with little critical engagement with the concept and related practices for alcohol and other drug service delivery. Notwithstanding these limitations, our review identified the features the studies found to be best practices or to lead to the most positive outcomes for young people. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions to expand the knowledge base and improve the effectiveness and inclusiveness of alcohol and other drug outreach models for young people.

提高针对年轻人的酒精和其他药物外展模式的有效性和包容性:文献综述
摘要
虽然外展是提供酒精和其他药物支持服务的常见方式,但人们对其在因酒精和其他药物消费而遇到困难的年轻人中的作用知之甚少。在本文中,我们对有关青少年酒精和其他药物外展活动的国际文献进行了回顾,以确定高质量外展模式的特征并记录主要主题或问题。我们发现在过去十年中,关于青少年酒精和其他药物外展的研究相对较少,对酒精和其他药物服务提供的概念和相关实践的批判性参与也很少。尽管存在这些限制,我们的审查确定了研究发现的最佳实践或为年轻人带来最积极结果的特征。
