Evalueringsrapport
Abstract
This report is based upon a request from the Panel of Accreditation to evaluate the
programme “National Substance Abuse Programme” (NSAP), which originated in
Canada. The report will give a better foundation for evaluating whether the programme
should be furthered after the period of the pilot project. It will also contribute to casting
light on some of the problems connected with carrying out the programme, which in
turn might support possible changes or improvements.
NSAP is a cognitive behavioural programme intended to replace the former programmes
“Offender Substance Abuse Programme” (OSAPP) and the substance abuse programme
in Probation named “Choices”, which both dealt with problematic behaviour related to
intoxication. All three programmes are Norwegian versions of Canadian programmes
used in cooperation with the Correctional Service in Canada, CSC.
At the Panel of Accreditation’s request, the differences between NSAP and OSAPP are
reviewed in this report. The pilot units assessed in this evaluation are the prisons of Ila,
Ringerike, Oslo, Ravneberget, Bergen, Stavanger and Bodø, as well as the probation
offices in Oslo and Østfold. The probation office in Oslo is represented by one
participant in the interview survey.
This report consists of four main parts: (1) Introduction to the programme and the
report, (2) the user’s experiences with NSAP, (3) evaluation of pre- and post-tests and
(4) discussion and recommendations with regards to accrediting the programme.
Chapter 2, on the user’s experiences with NSAP, is written by Åse-Bente Rustad on
behalf of the Centre for Research and Education in Forensic Psychiatry in the south-east
regional health service. The other chapters and recommendations are written by Per
Kristian Granheim in collaboration with Tore Rokkan, both employed at the Correctional
Service of Norway staff Academy (KRUS).
