Abstract

Basically, there are 2 main needs to tackle: the first is to rapidly identify and assess NPS, by using specific screening instruments and then transmit the results to the National and European Early Warning Systems; the second is to improve awareness and knowledge about NPS among partygoers, professionals and policy makers. Promoting drug checking in nightlife contexts in the EU countries linked to the EWS and informing local service providers both on NPS and the results of drug checking seem to be the best way to meet the needs.
