Research
& Monitoring Unit and Computer Center
Knowledge of drug issues
and the different sides of the problem requires a multi-disciplinary
research to be utilized as an instrument for the analysis,
elaboration of hypotheses, and design of efficient strategies
for the implementation of prevention activities at various
levels. Also, research contributes to fight drug trafficking,
production and micro-commercialization, more efficiently
and effectively.
The Research and Information Technology Unit has the function
to inform Perú and other countries on drug issues,
helping to find solutions; also, it relates to other units
and programs in order to design and orient prevention and
information activities to the community and to generate
public opinion against drug abuse.

to integrate qualitative and quantitative aspects.
