Spanish project of best practice portal in drug demand reduction and behavioural addictions. Adiktologie, 23(1), 89–94. https://doi.org/10.35198/01-2023-002-0008

AIMS: The paper presents case study analysis of the context and a description of the original quality management system in harm reduction at the national level.
METHODS: The case study design is based on a narrative review from a search of...
