Drug misuse prevention (QS165)

This NICE quality standard was published in March 2018 and covers the prevention or delay of the harmful use of drugs by children, young people and adults most likely to start using drugs, or those already experimenting with or using drugs occasionally. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

This quality standard includes four statements on:

• Assessment of looked-after children and young people
• Assessment of care leavers
• Assessment of children and young people in contact with youth offending services
• Information and advice for adults
