We believe that research must be driven by issues raised in practice and that professionals and the general public must have easy and quick access to the findings. High quality research enhances awareness and understanding – it helps create objectivity in a field that is full of misrepresentations and hearsay.
Most of our research is conducted in the community, in particular in treatment agencies. We are grateful to those people who have facilitated the setting up of the projects.
Interested in research? Interested in measuring outcomes? WIRED runs a consultancy service. Contact us for further information and to discuss potential collaborations.
