National Project Team Leader: Ms Katalin SZOMOR
Consultants: Ms Gabriele FISCHER (Unversitätklinik für Psychiatrie – AKH, Austria), focusing on pregnant drug users; Ms Agneta FLINCK (University of Lund); focusing on distance education), Dr Igor KOUTSENOK (Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Co-Director, University of California, San Diego, USA), focusing on drug treatment.

Three consultants worked with Hungary. However, the total number of consultations was limited to 24 days. Some of the Hungarian key experts visited Vienna to get first-hand experience of the work carried out at the workplace of the consultant Ms. Fischer.

Training material developed takes the form of four text-books:
• for medical education
• for those dealing with prisoners
• a book on women and drugs
• a book on the family doctor’s role in the local community.

These are intended for use in distance education. Two CD-ROMs have also been produced. These contain the material included in all four publications, plus much additional material in electronic form, including Pompidou Group, WHO and UNDCP publications. These will prove very useful for Hungarian professionals, who have difficulty in accessing such material in printed form. This work is a good example of the continuity from DRSTP I, as it was there that some members of the National Project Team learnt about distance education.
