UTRIP (slo) Inštitut za raziskave in razvoj "Utrip"
(eng) Institute for Research and Development "Utrip"

(slo) Inštitut za raziskave in razvoj "Utrip" (UTRIP) je bil kot zasebni zavod ustanovljen spomladi 2006. Zaradi številnih idej in strokovnih ambicij v smeri razvoja inovativnih programov in projektov s področja preprečevanja tveganega obnašanja mladih, smo se nekateri slovenski strokovnjaki odločili, da prek neprofitne ustanove te ideje in ambicije uresničimo in v nekaj letih razvijemo prepoznave

n raziskovalno-razvojni inštitut za to strokovno področje v tem delu Evrope ali morda celo širše. Zavod vodi in sodeluje pri številnih evropskih in domačih projektih, ki jih sofinancirata Evropska komisija in Vlada Republike Slovenije. Aktivno sodelujemo v Evropskem forumu civilne družbe na področju drog (Civil Society Forum on Drugs), Evropskem združenju za raziskave v preventivi (European Society for Prevention Research), Evropskem akademskem združenju na področju preventivne znanosti (SPAN), Evropskem združenju nevladnih organizacij na področju alkoholne politike (Eurocare), Evropski mreži na področju alkoholne politike (APN) ter številnih drugih mednarodnih mrežah, kot so npr. Club Health, IREFREA, AMPHORA, ALICE RAP, Prevnet, ProSkills idr.

(eng) Institute for Research and Development "Utrip" (shortly UTRIP) is a non-governmental and a non-profit research institute. Aims of UTRIP are the development, research, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes in the field of youth risk behaviour prevention, addiction prevention, health promotion and healthy lifestyle etc. It is involved in several European and other research and educational projects, co-financed by the European Commission and Slovenian government. It actively cooperates within the Civil Society Forum on Drugs (CSF), European Society for Prevention Research (EU SPR), Science in Prevention Academic Network (SPAN), umbrella European NGO in the field of alcohol policy (Eurocare), European Alcohol Policy Network (APN) and many other international networks, such as Club Health, IREFREA, AMPHORA, ALICE RAP, Prevnet, ProSkills etc.

Ohranjanje aktualnega znanja o zmanjševanju škode ni izbira - je nuja.

Vzpostavili smo podkast na Spotifyju, ki vključuje 10 kratkih epizod o temah, ki danes oblikujejo področje zmanjševanja škode:

• nove psihoaktivne substance
• kompleksni vzorci rabe
• politični in regulativni premiki
• napredni intervencijski pristopi v praksi

Zasnovano za strokovnjake, ki že delujejo na tem področju in želijo ostati na tekočem s trendi in spremembami, tudi ob pomanjkanju časa.

We’ve received a few comments asking why Preventina isn’t fully free and whether AI can be trusted for prevention work. Fair questions — here’s the short answer.

✅ Preventina is not a generic chatbot. It’s built specifically for prevention science, policy, and practice, using a curated knowledge base of verified prevention materials and structured outputs for real-world prevention work (programmes, implementation, evaluation, policy briefs).

💡 Why a small fee? Because there are ongoing monthly costs to run it (hosting, AI usage, maintenance, security, and continuous improvement). We currently don’t have external funding to cover these costs. Subscriptions keep the service sustainable — and all revenue is reinvested into development and safeguards.

🛡️ Accuracy matters. We’re continuously improving the tool, and there’s a built-in Feedback button inside Preventina to report issues and suggestions.

🇦🇹 Big moment today at CND!

Institute Utrip is hosting our side event: "From Principle to Policy: Advancing Prevention as a Human Right in Global Drug Policy"

📍 Room M6, Vienna International Centre
🕐 13:00-14:00 (TODAY!)

After three days of discussions where prevention is treated as secondary to enforcement and treatment, today we're making a different case:

Prevention is a human right 🌍

Not optional. Not a "nice-to-have." A state obligation grounded in:

✅ Right to health
✅ Right to education
✅ Right to development
✅ Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 33)

We're bringing together experts from:

🇰🇪 Kenya (government perspective)
🇺🇳 UN Human Rights office ( )
🇪🇺 Pompidou Group of the Council of Europe (regional mechanisms)
🇺🇸 USA (civil society implementation)
🇸🇪 Sweden (legal/human rights framing)
🇸🇮 Slovenia (moderator - that's us!)

I'll be asking the question that matters: How do we move prevention from principle to actual policy?

Not through more declarations. Through concrete frameworks, accountability, and political will to operationalize what works.

If you're at CND in Vienna → Room M6, 13:00 ⏰

If you're not here → This conversation needs to happen in EVERY country, in EVERY policy discussion about drugs and prevention.

Prevention is not a nice-to-have. It's a human right. 💪

See you at 13:00! 🇸🇮🇺🇳

🚨 A global prevention paradox we don’t talk about enough 🚨

Why do we spend billions on:
🔥 treating crises
🔥 managing addiction
🔥 reducing harm

…but invest so little in preventing these problems in the first place?

Our latest blog takes a critical look at global funding priorities and asks a simple question:
👉 What if we invested upstream—in prevention—before the damage is done?

📖 Read here:
🔗 https://www.institut-utrip.si/the-global-prevention-paradox-why-we-fund-the-fire-not-the-fireproofing/

🧠 Prevention works
💸 It saves money
❤️ It saves lives

Yet it remains underfunded and politically invisible.

Let’s change that conversation. 👇




Bloomberg Philanthropies Gates Foundation Open Society Foundations Bezos Family Foundation The Rockefeller's foundation Fondation Botnar Allianz The Global Fund Effective Altruism Resolve to Save Lives Wellcome Trust etc.

In global public health and social policy, a striking paradox persists—one that quietly undermines sustainability, equity, and long-term impact. Around the world, philanthropic foundations, bilateral donors, private funders, and also governments overwhelmingly invest in downstream responses: treat...

📘 Prevention Gone Wrong - Chapter 5: Information Overload – When Too Much Science Misses the Point

After a longer pause, I’m reopening the conversation around our book Prevention Gone Wrong. Chapter 5 feels especially timely in a world flooded with information. 🧠📊

In prevention, we often assume that more facts = better decisions.
More data, more slides, more brain diagrams…
But research — and real life — tell us otherwise.

💡 Information alone rarely changes behaviour.
Young people don’t need more science — they need relevant, relatable, and usable knowledge, combined with skills, emotions, and real-life context.

📖 Chapter 5 explores why overly scientific, lecture-heavy prevention can backfire — and what actually works instead.

🌍 Translations coming in 2026: Italian, Turkish, Arabic, Korean, Slovenian, Spanish, Portuguese & more.
