This report presented a review and evaluation of the Community Addiction Response Programme (CARP) in Killinarden, Tallaght, in south-west Dublin. The research was funded by the Combat Poverty Agency. The report examined the historical antecedents of the programme and looked at its development as a particular response to the issue of drug misuse in the area. Data and information were gathered from a number of sources - internal documentation, such as reports, proposals and minutes; semi-structured interviews with staff, team members, professional personnel attached to the programme, the Tallaght Partnership, members of community organisations, and programme participants; and academic and policy literature. The effectiveness and impact of CARP was critically reviewed, and key issues for further development were identified.
