Cultural specifics should be utilised for successful holistic prevention measures. The empirical part of this study uses expert interviews to isolate the factors necessary for an effective preventive strategy appropriate to the respective culture. Examples of good practice concretise concretise and verify these factors and in this way demonstrate possibilities for their innovative application.
