Abstract

The simultaneous implementation of a program in multiple sites poses a challenge for the adequate coordination and internal consistency of an intervention. The operation of the network of program facilitators can be critical for effectiveness and community adjustment of such interventions. In this paper, we conducted a case study of a community prevention program for drug addiction applied in a large group of cities in Andalusia, in southern Spain. The aim was to explore how integrated planning and local adaptation are combined in community prevention, through the collaboration network between program facilitators. For this aim, we analyze and describe two types of relevant roles of local facilitators: those that have a central coordinating role, versus peripheral “connectors”, which have a bridge role between different geographical areas. The network of the “Cities against Drugs” program in the province of Seville (n = 45) showed a core-periphery structure, with coordination patterns clearly influenced by the geographical location of facilitators. The capital and its metropolitan area not only have greater geographic centrality but also a central role in the social network. On the other hand, the role of “connectors” seems to be functional to avoid the fragmentation of the remotest regional nuclei. Finally, we discuss the tension between central coordination of the program and the adaptation to peculiarities of each local context.
社区预防药物滥用中的影响者和联系者:方案执行中多地点一致性和当地社区契合度之间的平衡
在多个地点同时实施一个项目对干预的充分协调和内部一致性提出了挑战。项目促进者网络的运作对于此类干预措施的有效性和社区调整至关重要。在本文中,我们对西班牙南部安达卢西亚的一大批城市实施的社区吸毒预防计划进行了案例研究。其目的是探索如何通过项目促进者之间的合作网络,将综合规划和地方适应结合到社区预防中。为此,我们分析和描述了当地促进者的两种相关角色:具有中心协调作用的角色,以及在不同地理区域之间具有桥梁作用的外围“连接器”。塞维利亚省的"禁毒城市"方案网络(n = 45)呈现出核心-外围结构,协调模式明显受到促进者地理位置的影响。首都及其大都市区不仅具有更大的地理中心性,而且在社会网络中也具有中心作用。另一方面,“连接器”的作用似乎是功能性的,以避免最遥远的区域核的分裂。最后,我们讨论了项目的中心协调与适应每个地方文脉的特殊性之间的紧张关系。
