Abstract
This presentation will discuss the role that advocacy plays in achieving lasting changes in systems. The Colombia ITTC has focused on ways to influence public policies to incorporate evidence-based information and practices related to reducing drug demand.
We will provide our experience and open a space for discussion for others to share their experiences in advocating science-based change to policy makers.
