During the meeting the further work planning was built up, which was finalized at the end during a final discussion. Three target groups for low-threshold approaches with regard to NPS use were focused on:

Experienced users
Subsequently, the employees were assigned to three working groups, which had the task of exchanging information and working on the topics until the next LTTA:
Working Group 1: Establish contact with low-threshold projects in the vicinity or known low-threshold projects (consumption rooms, street work, contact stores) and ask them about their experiences and concepts with regard to the target groups.
Working Group 2: Development of a questionnaire for clients with NPS consumption (aim: to determine consumption patterns and motivation) (quantitative)
