Addiction Workforce Research in WAVE

Workforce in Addiction · Valorisation in Europe

WAVE Mapping studies

WAVE research will address knowledge gaps and challenges which impact on addiction workforce planning and care outcomes, such as: a lack of harmonised, comparable cross-country data on service provision and quality standards; scarce data on the nature / structure of the EU addictions workforce and factors affecting recruitment and retention; fragmented information on training and education for professionals.

WAVE Workers’ Survey: Workplace conditions and wellbeing in addictions workers

The workers who deliver services and support to tackle addictions have a profound impact on many individuals and communities. As part of the WAVE research plan, we are conducting a survey to gather valuable data on the professional profiles, working conditions, and wellbeing of those who shape and deliver addiction services in a number of European countries and regions (Czech Republic, Portugal, Spain (including Catalonia), North Macedonia and (coming soon…) Norway).

Whether you work in prevention, treatment, social integration, or harm reduction, your expertise and input is crucial to shaping the standards and conditions that empower our workforce. Your responses will help us advocate for improved training standards, workplace environments, and wellbeing for all workers in addictions fields.

And there’s more! Not only will you contribute to a stronger, more resilient workforce, but by participating in this survey in the first 2 weeks after launching, you also stand a chance to win a bursary that covers participation for the Socidrogalcohol conference (in Spain) or the 2024 Lisbon Addictions Conference (other countries).
