Les loisirs peuvent être un contexte qui peut favoriser le développement positif des adolescents, mais ils peuvent aussi être un contexte qui contribue à l’adoption de comportements à risque chez les adolescents.

VISE:

L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer dans quelle mesure les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, la fréquence de la participation des adolescents à des activités de loisirs structurées (ALS) et le type d’ALS contribuent à la consommation d’alcool chez les adolescents et d’examiner les effets modérateurs du sexe, de l’âge et du type d’ALS sur la relation...

Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines were originally published by CCSA in November 2011 and were the result of the work of alcohol research experts in Canada. Since then, substantial new research on the association between alcohol use and physical, mental and social harms has been completed. Many countries have updated their guidance on drinking to reflect these advancements in what is known about the risks and benefits associated with alcohol consumption.

The report is composed of three documents: the Public Summary, the Technical Summary and the Technical Report.

Background

Appointment no-show and early dropout from treatment represent major challenges in outpatient substance use disorder treatment, adversely affecting clinical outcomes and health care productivity. In this quasi-experimental study, we examined how a brief reminder intervention for new patients before their first appointment affected treatment participation and retention. No-shows (not attending any sessions) and dropouts (discontinuation of initiated treatment because of three consecutively missed appointments) were compared between a period with pre-admission telephone calls...

Background

In somatic health care settings, interdisciplinary collaborations (where various disciplines work coordinated and interdependently toward shared goals) are considered to yield higher team effectiveness than multidisciplinary approaches (where various disciplines work in parallel within their professional boundaries). Nonetheless, research on multidisciplinary techniques for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in hospitalised patients is limited since these approaches are relatively uncommon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel multidisciplinary AUD treatment...

Objective: This webinar marks the official launch of the EMCDDA’s foresight toolkit for the drugs field entitled How to run a trends workshop in the drugs field.

Background: We live in an era of fast and fundamental changes. The pace of social transformation and technological innovation is accelerating and can outpace existing policies and responses. In such an interdependent and complex...

Arrière-plan

Bien que plusieurs études aient révélé une incidence élevée de problèmes de santé mentale coexistants chez les adolescents ayant des problèmes liés à la consommation d’alcool et d’autres drogues, les études de suivi portant sur l’évolution de ces conditions au fil du temps sont rares. L’étude décrira et analysera les indications de problèmes de santé mentale et la façon dont divers facteurs de risque prédisent les résultats 1 an après le contact initial du traitement. De plus, les facteurs de risque propres au sexe sont explorés.

INTRODUCTION:

The European Prevention Curriculum (EUPC) and The Universal Treatment Curriculum (UTC) are paradigms of the efforts to achieve an international standardised training for drug demand reduction. Both curricula are based on evidence-based knowledge and practice and follow the quality standards established by important international institutions such as the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). In addition to training directly aimed at professionals, it...

ARRIÈRE-PLAN:

La forte prévalence du VIH et des troubles liés à l’utilisation de substances psychoactives en Ukraine reste un problème de santé publique important. Une main-d’œuvre nationale bien formée et axée sur le rétablissement est nécessaire pour améliorer le traitement des TUS associés aux soins du VIH afin de réduire la consommation de substances et le fardeau lié au VIH dans le pays.

MÉTHODE:

Le Centre ukrainien de technologie de transfert de la toxicomanie (Ukraine ATTC) a été créé en 2017 pour fournir une formation et une assistance technique sur l’intersection du VIH et du SUD...
