EVALUATION OF POLICY OUTCOMES IN DRUG PREVENTION AND SOLUTIONS: A CASE STUDY OF KAO LIAO MODEL PROJECT

Abstract

This research aims to study the problems, obstacles, and results and successes of the operations and drive of drug prevention and problem solving at the level of effectiveness, efficiency, value, and maximum benefit to the organization and the public in order to make policy recommendations for driving sustainable drug prevention and problem solving operations. This research is a qualitative and quantitative research. It is a research for development by combining qualitative and quantitative research. Data collection was conducted by in-depth interviews with a total of 20 people. The quantitative target group was collected by collecting questionnaires with 80 people. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis and quantitative data were analyzed, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.

The research findings indicate that lack of community support, insufficient inter-agency coordination, resource scarcity, negative attitudes towards drug addicts, and inadequate data availability all impact project success. Evaluation results from 80 system users show an overall high level of satisfaction and effectiveness in implementing the drug prevention and intervention policies, with an average score of 4.03 and a standard deviation of 0.778. When analyzing specific areas, it was found that the highest average score was in the relevance of the operational goals to the benefits received, with an average score of 4.40 and a standard deviation of 0.742. The next highest was the effectiveness of the operations, with an average score of 4.23 and a standard deviation of 0.731. The third highest was the impact or changes resulting from the operations, with an average score of 4.16 and a standard deviation of 0.798.
