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.

This factsheet summarises information and statistics on new psychoactive substances gathered from recent reports on prevalence, treatment, mortality and legislation in Ireland.

Between March and May 2021, the EU4Monitoring Drugs (EU4MD) project supported the mapping of national prevention systems in European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) area countries.

This briefing describes the rationale and methodology of the prevention system mapping, presenting selected findings and highlighting key challenges encountered.

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...

Background

Opioid overdose remains a public health crisis in diverse communities. Between 2019 and 2020, there was an almost 40% increase in drug fatalities primarily due to opioid analogues of both stimulants and opioids. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD; e.g., buprenorphine) are effective, evidence-based treatments that can be delivered in office-based primary care settings. We investigated disparities in the proportion of national prescribers who have obtained a waiver issued to prescribe MOUD by demographic characteristics.

Methods

Data for the secondary data analyses were...

Background

Recently developed buprenorphine depot injections have the potential to reduce risk for diversion and misuse, and to increase adherence with fewer visits for supervised intake. However, it is unclear how patients perceive this new form of medication. The purpose of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of depot injections and their reasons for continuing, discontinuing, or declining depot injection treatment.

Methods

We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 32 people, 14 of whom had ongoing depot injection treatment, 11 who had discontinued depot...

Background

Substance use among youth (ages 12–24) is troublesome given the increasing risk of harms associated. Even more so, substance use services are largely under utilised among youth, most only accessing support when in crisis. Few studies have explored young people’s help-seeking behaviours to address substance use concerns. To address this gap, this study explored how youth perceive and experience substance use services in British Columbia (BC), Canada.

Methods

Participatory action research methods were used by partnering with BC youth (under the age of 30) from across the province...

Les drogues illicites sont une grosse affaire. Elles constituent l’une des principales activités génératrices de profits de la criminalité organisée et on estime qu’elles représentent environ un cinquième des produits de la criminalité dans le monde. « Marchés de la drogue dans l’UE: analyse approfondie » est le quatrième aperçu complet des marchés illicites des drogues dans l’UE par l’OEDT et Europol et adopte une vue d’ensemble de ces marchés, de la production et du trafic à la distribution et à l’utilisation. Conçu comme une série de modules, chacun se concentre sur le marché d’un...

Abstract

Introduction: The year 2020 was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. Policy responses to COVID-19 affected social and economic life and the availability of alcohol. Previous research has shown an overall small decrease in alcohol use in Denmark in the first months of the pandemic. The present paper focused on identifying which groups of individuals had decreased or increased their consumption. 

Materials and Methods: Data were collected between May and July 2020 (n = 2,566 respondents, convenience sample). Weights were applied to reflect the actual Danish general population. Variables...

Background

When used in combination with other therapies for drug use disorders, neurofeedback (NF) has been classified as "probably effective," according to recent research in the community of people with opioid use disorder. Despite these encouraging results, the severity of the opioid crisis, and the high risk of relapse even with the most effective medication-assisted maintenance therapy, NF remains a little-studied therapeutic option. The possibility of incorporating Alpha/Theta Neurofeedback into standard opioid addiction therapy in an outpatient urban treatment facility is examined in...
