Antecedentes y objetivos

Entre los países europeos, Francia está particularmente preocupada por el consumo de tabaco entre los adolescentes, especialmente en los entornos socioeconómicos desfavorecidos (SES). Medimos las contribuciones respectivas del tabaquismo de los padres y los arreglos de vida familiar a las disparidades sociales en el tabaquismo durante la adolescencia.

Un total de 13 314 adolescentes respondieron a un cuestionario en papel y pluma sobre su propio consumo de tabaco y el tabaquismo de sus padres.

Summary

This report presents an analysis of the drug markets in the European Neighbourhood Policy-East region covering Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Focused on providing insights into drug production, trafficking, sale, use and harms, the report contains data and information from studies conducted between 2019 and 2022 in the framework of the EU4Monitoring Drugs project, funded by the European Commission.

It concludes with an outlook on key areas for policy and practice to address emerging drug markets’ challenges.

Objetivo: explorar el análisis de aguas residuales como metodología que contribuye a la preparación y respuesta de la UE

Antecedentes: La COVID-19 ha llamado la atención de Europa, y de todo el mundo, sobre la importancia de estar preparados ante posibles emergencias. Las metodologías de vigilancia mejoradas e innovadoras son el núcleo de las medidas basadas en la investigación adoptadas para responder a las posibles amenazas.

La epidemiología basada en las aguas residuales (WBE, por sus siglas en inglés), también conocida como monitoreo de aguas residuales o vigilancia de aguas residuales...

Summary

The purpose of this report is to examine the current situation, risks and responses to the recreational use of nitrous oxide in Europe. To support this, the report also provides a state-of-the-art review of the chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of the gas. It is intended for policymakers and practitioners.

The report is structured as follows:

• Section 1 provides a summary of the current situation, established risks and responses.
• Section 2 is a technical review of the chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, individual risks and legitimate uses.
• Section 3 provides an overview of...

Background

Novel public health interventions are needed to address the toxic drug supply and meet the needs of people who use drugs amidst the overdose crisis. Safer supply – low-barrier distribution of pharmaceutical grade substances – has been implemented in some jurisdictions to provide safer alternatives to the unregulated drug supply, yet no studies to date have explored professional stakeholder perspectives on this approach.

Methods

We used purposive sampling to recruit professional stakeholders (n = 17) from four locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, including...

El OEDT y el Instituto Universitario de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL) se complacen en abrir hoy las inscripciones para dos próximos eventos conjuntos en 2023: la Escuela Europea de Invierno sobre Drogas (EDWS) y la Escuela Europea de Verano sobre Drogas (EDSS) (1)(2).

El curso de dos semanas contará con conferencias en vivo a la hora del almuerzo con expertos y profesionales, seguidas de ejercicios por la tarde. También se...

BACKGROUND:

A close relationship between a parent and a child and parental acceptance can mediate the appropriate self-acceptance of an adolescent, which is an important variable related to personality and a pillar of emotional health. In the paper we present the conclusions of a research study about the quality of the attachment towards parents and self-acceptance of adolescents at Czech secondary schools.

AIMS:

The aim of the study was the exploration of the relation between the attachment style and self-acceptance.

SAMPLE:

The research sample consists of 3,239 adolescents aged 15–19 in...

Contingency management (CM) is a psychological treatment based on operant conditioning. It consists of providing incentives in exchange for achieving a target behaviour such as abstinence or other treatmentrelated variables (e.g. session attendance, adherence to medication). The objective of this article was to introduce the rationale of CM for substance use and, more specifically, for smoking cessation. A growing body of empirical literature supports CM as an effective treatment for quitting smoking both in the general population and among other hard-to-treat smokers (e.g. pregnant women or...

BACKGROUND:

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) generate an aerosol by vaporising e-liquids that usually consist of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), and other ingredients (water, nicotine, and flavours). The chemical and physical properties of these components have a significant effect on aerosol formation and must be identified in order to improve product attractiveness and assess the degree of health risks.

AIM:

The aim of this article is to provide a description of the composition of the e-liquid base and its impact on the physical properties of the liquid used...
