Advisory Committee

An advisory committee has been created to direct the principal stages of the research and to help develop the guidelines.

The advisory committee is comprised of different actors, notably two community organizations which include past or present drug users who are members of the organizations (Tipi and ASUD), and an association of professionals (Federation addiction). These partners have experiential and professional knowledge concerning the use of drugs, addictions, or gender.

Who sits on the committee?


Members attend two or three meetings per year (2019-2022), each three hours long, either in person or by videoconference. The gatherings are friendly, lively affairs where everyone is encouraged to express their point of view on the stages of the research.

Where, when and how often does the committee meet?

How can I get involved?

If you are interested in joining the Advisory Committee – France – for the Gender-ARP project, contact us by telephone or email to find out more about how to go about it.

Consensus DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Drawing on the results of the research, a consensus development process will be used to bring together a group of experiential and professional experts situated in Quebec (Canada), Belgium and France. These experts will take part in a process of exchange and deliberation aimed at reaching a consensus on the guidelines that should be applied regarding long-term, integrated, gender-sensitive services offered to people who use alcohol or drugs.
