Project summary

The main action of the project is to develope a mobile application. Application will support prevention and healt of youth in the context of drug use. The application will respond to the problem of not enough information flow about the dangers of unknown drugs. The lack of informaction in many cases leads to serious poisoning and even death of Users. The application will include three main functions: 1. Connecting application users - young people using drugs (Users) with non-governmental organizations and more, providing services to them for exapmple: treatment, harm reduction, drug testing etc. 2. Collecting information from Users by the aplication about hazardous substances that influence them. The database will be under constant moderator control. 3. Alerts - sending users information about emerging threats such as new and dangerous drugs. Alerts will be one of the most significant features of our application. Quick flow of information will save Users health and even life. The mobile application as a result of intellectual work results will be the only tool in Europe for instantly identify dangerous psychoactive substances. It would also help to locate organizations and institutions that work for Users. The Aplication will warn users against emerging hazardous substances. Result or the project will be targeted to young users, and its entire layout will be designed to be attractive to them. Moreover aplication may also be used by organizations working for the benefit of users, and perhaps even by doctors and paramedics. The project will create a mobile application, a video user manual on youtube, instructions for support organizations who want to promote their activities and contact through the application, and the rules of use of the application

Final report summary

In this project we have created a mobile application TripApp, designed to reduce the health and social harm related to drug use. The app has the following features: 1. Early warning system about contaminated, or otherwise particularly dangerous batches of psychoactive substances appearing in Europe. Data in the system comes from the tests conducted by the laboratories cooperating with organizations running this project; and submitted by the app users. 2. Submission system allowing regular app users to send us information about the particularly dangerous batches of the psychoactive substances 3. A filter of the alerts described in point 1. showing alerts that are particularly dangerous to the people of a specific bodyweight - the lower the weight the more batches are particularly dangerous 4. A map of 2500 drug harm reduction services from 16 European countries. 5. Set of information about reducing the harm related to the drug use 6. Summary of the legal consequences of the use, possession, and trafficking of drugs in 30 European countries - in cooperation with European Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction The app is available in Google Play(soon also Apple Store in) 15 languages: English, Polish, Slovak, Portuguese, Germany, Luxembourgish, Italian, French, Albanian, Czech, Hungarian, Spanish, Serbian, Ukrainian and Russian. We have also created a website of the project, informing about the app, its creators, and allowing drug NGOs from Europe, that are not yet on our map/database described in point. 4, to provide their contact details and therefore add themselves on the map (after admin's approval) , Other intellectual outputs of this project are directly related to the app and include a manual in the form of two video animations and terms&conditions of apps use.
