            <title>Factors associated with illegal substance use initiation among young students in Mexico City</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3385298&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2009.00150.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. The social circumstances surrounding adolescents influence their risk of illegal substance consumption. Although the complex network of factors affecting substance use requires further exploring, young people at risk can be identified and should receive preventive attention.[Bojorquez I, Fernández-Varela H, Gorab A, Solís C.

            <title>Quetiapine for the treatment of alcoholism: Scientific rationale and review of the literature</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3385300&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00185.x</link>
            <description>Conclusion. Quetiapine has advanced as a potentially promising pharmacotherapy for alcoholism. Additional research is needed to more clearly ascertain its clinical utility as a stand-alone treatment for this indication, as well as to identify patients who are more likely to respond favourably to this medication.[Ray LA, Heydari A, Zorick T.

            <title>Factors affecting criminal recidivism among participants in the Magistrates Early Referral Into Treatment (MERIT) program in New South Wales, Australia</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3385299&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00186.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. Although the design of this study does not permit causal conclusions, these results suggest the MERIT program may be associated with reduced criminal offending. The identification of factors associated with increased risk of recidivism may be helpful in identifying participants in need of higher intensity interventions.[Larney S, Martire KA.

            <title>RTDs in Australia: Expensive designer drinks or cheap rocket fuel?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3346392&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00181.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. The proliferation of high-strength RTDs and the substantial discounting of multipack purchases means that RTDs can no longer be seen as expensive low-strength sweet-flavoured drinks targeted at female drinkers, but as a broader product category that includes high-strength male-targeted brands. There is a need for further research to examine young people's preferences for these different product types; and consideration of policies, alongside price-based interventions, that address broader marketing strategies.[Jones SC, Barrie L.

            <title>Main reasons for hospital admissions by women with a history of methadone maintenance</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3331198&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00180.x</link>
            <description>Conclusion. The elevated risk of hospital admission for a number of disorders suggests that women with a history of methadone maintenance experience these health events at a level of severity warranting hospital admission. Further contextual work is necessary to determine the effective preventive and management strategies.[Burns L, Conroy E, Mattick RP.

            <title>AUDIT-C, AUDIT-3 and AUDIT-QF in screening risky drinking among Finnish occupational health-care patients</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3326907&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00172.x</link>
            <description>Conclusion. Short questionnaires perform almost as well as the whole AUDIT screening risky drinking among men and women. This is why they can be recommended for clinical use in busy settings. The cut-off points, however, have to be tailored for gender and culture.[Kaarne T, Aalto M, Kuokkanen M, Seppä K.

            <title>Intoxigenic digital spaces? Youth, social networking sites and alcohol marketing</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3318340&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00178.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. Through this sharing of information in the digital Internet environment, young people are creating 'intoxigenic social identities' as well as 'intoxigenic digital spaces' that further contribute towards the normalisation of youth consumption of alcohol. A better understanding of how youth are using the Internet to share their experiences with alcohol and engagement with alcohol-related messages is crucial to public health research as alcohol marketing practices rapidly evolve.[Griffiths R, Casswell S.

            <title>Problem drinking among married men in India: Comparison between husband's and wife's reports</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3318339&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00177.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. The AUDIT-WR is a reliable and culturally relevant measure of husband's problem drinking. In India, men with problem drinking are hard to reach. Therefore, proxy report of the wife may be useful when the husband is either unavailable or uncooperative for assessment.[Satyanarayana VA, Vaddiparti K, Chandra PS, O'Leary CC, Benegal V, Cottler LB.

            <title>Mental health improvements of substance-dependent clients after 4&amp;nbsp;months in a Therapeutic Community</title>

            <description>Conclusions. Results indicated that treatment within the TC over this time span was associated with improved mental health. The present study suggests that residential rehabilitation's holistic approach provides a suitable treatment model for clients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.[Polimeni A-M, Moore SM, Gruenert S.

            <title>Infant mortality among women on a methadone program during pregnancy</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3302245&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00176.x</link>
            <description>Conclusion. The infant mortality rate was higher among infants whose mothers were on methadone during pregnancy (24.3 per 1000 live born infants in group 1 and 4.0 per 1000 live born infants in group 2) compared with infants of all other mothers. The single main cause of death for all infants was Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. There was a higher rate of smoking among women on methadone. The findings suggest that methadone and non-methadone infant[ndash]mother pairs have different symptom profiles, diagnostic procedures and/or different patterns of access to care.[Burns L, Conroy E, Mattick RP.

            <title>Predictors of early dropout in methadone maintenance treatment program in Yunnan province, China</title>

            <description>Conclusion. Patients' early dropout was related to ethnicity, clinic accessibility, living with drug users and methadone dose. A higher methadone dose as appropriate for maintenance treatment is recommended.[Che Y, Assanangkornchai S, Mcneil E, Chongsuvivatwong V, Li J, Geater A, You J.

            <title>The experience of drug-dependent adolescents in a therapeutic community</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3243687&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2010.00169.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. There needs to be a more central role for creative and vocational activities in adolescent programs and a variety of ways for them to document their journey. Group encounters need to be skilfully facilitated by staff to handle fluid inter-personal dynamics and residents need support outside of formal program time to minimise drop-out. The concept of a navigation-engagement continuum is discussed and the need to see treatment as a series of encounters that may be 'successful' despite 'non-completion'. This study gives adolescents a voice in program evaluation which may help improve retention.[Foster M, Nathan S, Ferry M. The experience of drug-dependent adolescents in a therapeutic community.

            <description>Conclusions. These findings demonstrate a massive increase in crack use among injection drug users in a Canadian setting. Our findings also highlight the complex interactions that contribute to the initiation of crack use among injection drug users and suggest that evidence-based interventions are urgently needed to address crack use initiation and to address harms associated with its ongoing use.[Werb D, DeBeck K, Kerr T, Li K, Montaner J, Wood E.

            <description>Conclusions. Multiple substance use is highly prevalent among Chinese heroin users. Depressants are the most common substances used in combination with heroin.[Li L, Sangthong R, Chongsuvivatwong V, McNeil E, Li J.

            <description>Conclusions. While a great deal of clinical attention has been given to the sequelae of psychostimulant use, such as psychosis, the potential effects upon the cardiovascular systems of users are worthy of specific public health attention.[Darke S, Torok M, Kaye S, Duflou J.

            <description>Conclusions. Within the context of polydrug use, recreational methamphetamine use is associated with a twofold to threefold increase in the probability of psychotic symptoms.[McKetin R, Hickey K, Devlin K, Lawrence K.

            <title>The dark side of sniffing: Paint colour affects intoxication experiences among adolescent inhalant users</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3189068&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2009.00162.x</link>
            <description>Conclusion. While both chrome and non-chrome users reported a comparable level of pleasure from paint sniffing, chrome paint users were more likely to be motivated by the potential to hallucinate. Our findings suggest that the type of inhalant used is an important consideration that may have relevance to clinical treatment.[Takagi MJ, Yücel M, Lubman DI.

            <description>Conclusions. Young people presenting to engagement-focused substance use services report similar difficulties to those at mental health services across most areas of psychosocial functioning. Addiction services may require equivalent staffing expertise and workforce development to that in mental health to effectively meet young people's needs. [Christie G, Merry S, Robinson E.

            <title>Combined effects of law enforcement and substitution treatment on heroin mortality</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3189066&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2009.00167.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. Our analysis revealed that the amount of police resources allocated to law enforcement was determined rationally, however, on biased grounds and with untoward consequences. Substitution treatment of heroin users reduced drug-related mortality in the long run, but different factors masked its impact for several years. Therefore, the introduction[mdash]or the expansion[mdash]of opioid substitution treatment programs should not be promoted with the argument of an immediate reduction of drug-related deaths in a country.[Nordt C, Stohler R.

            <description>Conclusions. The study indicates a high prevalence of recidivism among this young sample, with continued involvement in drug-risk behaviours after incarceration. Appropriate interventions are needed to address root causes of arrest, largely related to substance use.[Sherman SG, Sutcliffe CG, Srirojn B, German D, Thomson N, Aramrattana A, Celentano DD.

            <description>Conclusions.Our findings indicate that male and female adolescents presenting to a withdrawal treatment service exhibit differences in substance use characteristics. Future research should examine the role of gender in determining optimal treatment approaches in substance-using adolescents.[Dean AJ, McBride M, Macdonald EM, Connolly Y, McDermott BM.

            <description>Conclusions. The high prevalence of receptive equipment sharing among pharmacy clients indicates a need to improve access to needles and syringes and ancillary equipment, possibly by including ancillary equipment at no cost in existing pre-packaged pharmacy products.[Bryant J, Topp L, Hopwood M, Iversen J, Treloar C, Maher L.

            <description>Conclusions. The influence of persons the leisure time was spent with was of higher relevance to most phases of cannabis use than the type of leisure time activity.[Schaub M, Gmel G, Annaheim B, Mueller M, Schwappach D.

            <description>Conclusions. There is a need for long-term cohort studies that follow cannabis using individuals into old age, when the likelihood of any detrimental effects of cannabis use are more likely to emerge among those who persist in using cannabis into middle age and older. Case[ndash]control studies of cannabis use and various causes of mortality are also needed.[Calabria B, Degenhardt L, Hall W, Lynskey M. Does cannabis use increase the risk of death?

            <description>Conclusions. Regular ecstasy users have elevated levels of psychological distress compared with the general population; however, ecstasy use per se was not independently related to such distress. Other factors, including sociodemographic characteristics and other drug use patterns, appear to be more important. These findings highlight the importance of targeting patterns of polydrug use in order to reduce drug-related harm among regular ecstasy users.[George J, Kinner SA, Bruno R, Degenhardt L, Dunn M.

            <description>Conclusion. Data on alcohol problems collected by CATI provide largely comparable results to those from an embedded IVR module. Thus, incorporation of IVR technology in a CATI interview does not appear strongly indicated even for several key subgroups.[Midanik LT, Greenfield TK.

            <description>Conclusions. Alcohol and ED co-administration is relatively common among ED users and seems to be associated with increased alcohol ingestion. It is recommended that this matter receive more clinical and research attention. [Price SR, Hilchey CA, Darredeau C, Fulton HG, Barrett SP.

            <description>Conclusions. Our results suggest a stabilising effect of employment for IDU and socio-demographic, drug use and risk-related barriers to employment. There is a strong case to address these barriers and to develop innovative employment programming for high-risk drug users.[Richardson L, Wood E, Li K, Kerr T.

            <title>Alcohol as a risk factor for liver cirrhosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis</title>

            <description>Conclusions. Overall, end-point was an important source of heterogeneity among study results. This result has important implications not only for studies in which the burden of disease attributable to alcohol consumption is estimated, but also for prevention.

            <title>Qualitative accounts of needle and syringe cleaning techniques among people who inject drugs in Sydney, Australia</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3185246&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2009.00165.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. Results suggest that even where cleaning of needles and syringes is widespread, people who inject drugs may not engage in efficacious cleaning. The combination of the complexity of current cleaning messages and a lack of accurate information about efficacious techniques are likely to contribute to poor cleaning practice. Australia could benefit from the development of a nationally consistent cleaning message; however, the evidence would suggest that this would need to be accompanied by strategies designed to simplify and disseminate this information in order to increase the uptake of efficacious cleaning methods by people who inject drugs [Nathani J, Iversen J, Shying K, Byrne J, Maher L.

            <description>Conclusions. The majority of newborns were discharged home with their mothers directly with the most significant factor in placing a child in foster care being prior involvement of social services. However, many of these families will continue to need support during the children's early years.[Adeniji AA, Purcell A, Pearson L, Antcliffe JM, Tutty S, Sinha C, Pairaudeau PW, Lindow SW.

            <title>What women in France say about alcohol abstinence during pregnancy</title>

            <description>Conclusion. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy already constitutes a real taboo for the heath care professionals in France. It is extremely urgent and imperative that they recommend total abstinence during pregnancy, in order to avoid any irreversible consequences for the unborn babies.[Toutain S.

            <description>Conclusion. We conclude that there is insufficient knowledge to determine the level of risk associated with cannabis use in relation to psychotic symptoms and that more information is needed on both the risks of cannabis use and the benefits of preventive interventions to support evidence-based approaches in this area.[Minozzi S, Davoli M, Bargagli AM, Amato L, Vecchi S, Perucci CA.

            <title>The Psychostimulant Check-Up: A pilot study of a brief intervention to reduce illicit stimulant use</title>

            <description>Conclusions. The intervention was well accepted and the majority of those who received it subsequently made meaningful reductions in psychostimulant use and related harm. The intervention offers sufficient promise to warrant a randomised trial to establish whether improvements were specific to the intervention.[Smout MF, Longo M, Harrison S, Minniti R, Cahill S, Wickes W, White JM.

            <description>We report the case of an 82-year-old client with dependent use of poppy for 55 years. She was brought for treatment as access to poppy became difficult following legal restrictions. She was successfully maintained on buprenorphine maintainence.[Subodh BN, Murthy P, Chand PK, Arun K, Bala SN, Benegal V, Madhusudhan S. A case of poppy tea dependence in an octogenarian lady.

            <description>Conclusions. Among alcohol-dependent men, DIF factor of alexithymia and personality dimensions, particularly HA and NS are associated with impairment of QoL. Direction of this relationship and factors that may mediate this relationship is unclear. [Evren C, Dalbudak E, Durkaya M, Cetin R, Evren B.

            <description>Conclusions. The results suggest that services may not accurately assess their own capacity. For organisations trying to make improvements in their services, independent assessment may be more helpful than self-assessment in accurately determining service gaps. Overestimation of capacity may lead to failure to address important service needs.[Lee N, Cameron J. Differences in self and independent ratings on an organisational dual diagnosis capacity measure.

            <description>Conclusions. The findings of this study suggest that challenges for prevention of acute alcohol-related harms in young people may be larger in countries where adolescents to a larger extent drink to intoxication. From a prevention point of view it also seems warranted to direct more future studies into the area of potential for preventing intoxication and drunkenness, not in the least among young people.[Bye EK, Rossow I.

            <description>Conclusions. For both groups, the acceptability of methadone-naloxone depended upon an informed assessment of risks and benefits best addressed by further research into the efficacy, tolerability and safety of methadone-naloxone.[Shearer J, Mammen K, Bell J.

            <description>Conclusions. The barriers and facilitators were related to two main factors: organisational culture and personal attitudes. The action research provided the opportunity to bridge the gap between research and practice, but it also showed that SBI faces significant challenges before it can be implemented as a routine procedure in PHC settings in Brazil.

            <description>Conclusion. The neonatal and immature CNS is more susceptible to phytocannabinoid damage. In the adult CNS the data are conflicting and the continued development of methods to assess whether marijuana consumption results in brain atrophy or morphometric changes will determine if structural changes are occurring.

            <description>Conclusions. Intervention programs focusing on male students and their social environment are warranted. As Vietnamese society rapidly modernises prevention programs for female students may also be needed. [Pham DB, Clough AR, Nguyen HV, Kim GB, Buettner PG.

            <description>Conclusions. Illicit drug use was much more common in this sample than in the National Drug Strategy Household survey, but the direction of trends in drug use were similar; drug use prevalences were much lower than in the Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System, the Illicit Drug Reporting System or National Needle and Syringe Program Survey. Music festival attendees are a potentially useful group for monitoring trends in illicit drug use. [Lim MSC, Hellard ME, Hocking JS, Spelman TD, Aitken CK.

            <description>Conclusions. Findings highlight the role clients play in contributing to unprotected sex through economic influence and exploitation of CSW drug use. HIV serostatus has no bearing on whether more money is offered for sex without a condom. Novel interventions should target both CSW and clients. [Johnston CL, Callon C, Li K, Wood E, Kerr T.

            <description>Conclusions. The prevalence of anxiolytic/hypnotic misuse/abuse appears to be lower than that reported from more developed countries, but a small increase in problems resulting from the use of these substances has a disproportionately large effect on the overstretched resources of a developing country.

            <description>Conclusions. We observed an alarmingly high rate of syringe borrowing among a community-recruited sample of Thai IDU. Various lines of evidence indicate that poor access to sterile syringes is driving the high rate of syringe borrowing observed in this study. Immediate action should be taken to increase access to sterile syringes among Thai IDU. [Kerr T, Fairbairn N, Hayashi K, Suwannawong P, Kaplan K, Zhang R, Wood E.

            <title>The characteristics of acute non-fatal medication-related events attended by ambulance services in the Melbourne Metropolitan Area 1998&amp;#x2013;2002</title>

            <description>Conclusions. The majority of non-fatal medication events attended by ambulance paramedics involve one of six substances. Benzodiazepines were most commonly implicated and, as management may require only simple supportive treatment, significant numbers are not transported to hospital. The unique clinical population is identified in this study and the ongoing medical and psychiatric treatment of these patients not transported to hospital in the study period needs to be considered.

            <description>Conclusions. Many individuals on MMT continue to inject their methadone. In this sample, the frequency of injection of methadone did not correlate with prescribed dose or takeaway arrangements. The beneficial impact of time on the programme emphasises the importance of retention in treatment. It is suggested that these results also indicate a need for routine education concerning safe injecting.[Judson G, Bird R, O'Connor P, Bevin T, Loan R, Schroder M, McGrath R, Weatherall M, Moriarty H, Robinson G.

            <description>Conclusions. The m-DDQ method identified higher rates of drinking and categorised almost twice as many individuals into risky categories of drinking compared with QF. Such variations have major implications for identification of risk groups in health promotion or prevention programs.[Utpala-Kumar R, Deane FP.

            <description>Conclusions. While IDU are generally responsive to health promotion campaigns, future initiatives in this domain should be designed and implemented rapidly and in ways that are sufficiently flexible to cope with shifts in drug markets which could influence the reception of key messages.[Horyniak D, Higgs P, Lewis J, Winter R, Dietze P, Aitken C.

            <description>Conclusions. Issues identified by the AODS were mostly similar to those identified by the broader non-government organisations sector. There is much to learn from outside the AODS. Strategies to improve sustainability will include workforce development, improving governance and developing relationships within the sector and with government. These require a commitment to innovation and will entail movement of resources from service provision in the short term to organisational development for the long term.[Spooner C, Dadich A.

            <title>Barriers to methamphetamine withdrawal treatment in Australia: Findings from a survey of AOD service providers</title>

            <description>Conclusions. The results of this study suggest that alcohol and other drug service providers are not clear about the best way to respond to clients seeking methamphetamine withdrawal treatment. Furthermore, the study showed a general pessimism about withdrawal treatment for this group. Treatment services should consider improving withdrawal protocols, educating clinicians and reconsidering entry criteria to better respond to methamphetamine users who have made the important first step into withdrawal treatment.[Pennay AE, Lee NK.

            <description>Conclusions. Accidents and suicide, especially at a young age, are two common causes of death that might be prevented by increased awareness in medical personnel, along with better treatment and supportive measures.[Stenbacka M, Leifman A, Romelsjö A.

            <description>Conclusions. The findings of this study support previous research indicating that fixed client characteristics are not sufficient to explain youth retention in AOD treatment. Of more use are dynamic client characteristics and program variables. These findings stress the potential for improving treatment retention by creating more youth appropriate services.[Schroder R, Sellman D, Frampton C, Deering D.

            <description>Conclusions. It is concluded that non-response bias is a significant problem in substance use surveys with low response rates but that some adjustments can be made to compensate.[Zhao J, Stockwell T, Macdonald S.

            <description>Conclusions. The level of potential error in smoking assessment among this group was substantial. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke might explain part of this error, but the reasons for misreport can only be speculated. This rate of misclassification should be taken into consideration in routine screening of antenatal women in primary health care.[Gilligan C, Sanson-Fisher R, Eades S, Wenitong M, Panaretto K, D'Este C.

            <description>Conclusions. While heroin use during methadone treatment can partly be explained by inadequate dosing, our data suggest a more complex picture with significant contribution from poor coping self-efficacy. Efforts aimed at enhancing and maintaining the patients' self-efficacy and social skills are likely to improve heroin and other drug use outcomes with added benefits for treatment completion rates and the throughput of methadone programs.[Senbanjo R, Wolff K, Marshall EJ, Strang J.

            <title>The use of drug detection dogs in Sydney, Australia</title>

            <description>Conclusions. The present study suggests that regular ecstasy users do not see detection dogs as an obstacle to their drug use. Future research is necessary to explore in greater depth the experiences that drug users have with detection dogs; the effect detection dogs may have on deterring drug consumption; whether encounters with detection dogs contribute to drug-related harm; and the cost[ndash]benefit analysis of this law enforcement exercise.

            <description>Conclusions. These findings suggest that service exit that occurs within the first 2 months of treatment admission may be largely unpredictable and that, as a result of this unpredictability, the opportunities for a targeted response may be limited.[Pulford J, Adams P, Sheridan J.

            <description>Introduction and Aims. To examine predictors of cannabis use at 5 year follow up in an Australian Aboriginal cohort. Design and Methods. A longitudinal study consisting of two waves of data collection 5 years apart was conducted. Of the 100 Aboriginal residents (aged 13[ndash]36 years) interviewed about cannabis use in 2001, 83 were re-interviewed in 2005[ndash]2006 from three remote communities in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia.

            <description>Conclusions. While a combination of these measures could help in some way to reduce rates of relapse following detention, given the failure of the detoxification/detention regimes to reduce drug use, consideration must be given to other approaches.[Zhu WX, Dong JQ, Hesketh T.

            <description>Conclusions. The results provide additional empirical evidence supporting alcohol's conceivable negative effects on IHD in Russia and the idea that binge drinking could be the mechanism through which this effect is mediated. There were no signs of any protective effects from alcohol among Russian men.[Ramstedt M.

            <description>Conclusion. Self-reported histories should not be used in lieu of serological testing when assessing infection history or immunisation status. Poor criterion validity also indicates that self-reports of HBV infection status should not be used to estimate the prevalence and incidence of this infection. Due to their low sensitivity, self-reports of HBV infection should at best be considered only as a lower bound prevalence estimate.[Topp L, Day C, Dore GJ, Maher L.

            <description>Conclusions. Provided that repeated measurements are made, a local drug monitor can inform policymakers, treatment experts, etc. on developments and phenomena concerning drug use. However, the ADAM is a qualitative drug-monitoring system, and it must be emphasised that a combined monitor is more efficient. Indeed, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods enhances the reliability of the results.[Tieberghien J, Decorte T.

            <description>Conclusion. The pattern of drug use was similar to those reported in nearby countries. However, the increasing prevalence of injecting drug use and risk-taking sexual behaviour is a concern. There is an urgent need to develop effective treatment strategies and to prevent the spread of HIV and hepatitis in Sri Lanka.[Dissabandara LO, Dias SR, Dodd PR, Stadlin A.

            <description>Conclusion. Alcohol warning labels are an increasingly popular alcohol policy initiative. It is clear that warning labels can be ineffective, but the tobacco experience suggests that effective warning labels are possible. Any introduction of alcohol warning labels should be evaluated in terms of effects on attitudes and behaviour.[Wilkinson C, Room R.

            <description>Conclusions. The retention rate is consistent with other studies. Few variables predict those who discontinue treatment supporting a non-discriminatory approach to new residents by clinicians.[Mulder RT, Frampton CMA, Peka H, Hampton G, Marsters T.

            <title>Linked electronic medication systems in community pharmacies for preventing pseudoephedrine diversion: A review of international practice and analysis of results in Australia</title>

            <description>Conclusions. The significant decline in ATS illegal laboratories seized in Queensland in 2005[ndash]2006 suggests the effective use of LEMS in pharmacies to minimise pseudoephedrine diversion. In order to evaluate a national LEMS, more frequent data on numbers of linked pharmacies, ATS laboratories seized and indicators of pseudoephedrine sales and misuse are required. Testing the use of LEMS by pharmacies for preventing the diversion of other medicines seems appropriate.[Berbatis CG, Sunderland VB, Dhaliwal SS.

            <description>Conclusions. Extraneous issues relating to the client may be a dominant obstacle in early treatment engagement. Efforts to overcome these issues may therefore improve early engagement.[Coulson C, Ng F, Geertsema M, Dodd S, Berk M. Client-reported reasons for non-engagement in drug and alcohol treatment.

            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2510023&amp;cid=s_17945_2_f&amp;fid=17945&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1465-3362.2009.00056.x</link>
            <description>Conclusions. Glass shape does not affect actual drink pours in the USA but glass size does in some cases. Consumer education programs should foster awareness of the relatively high alcohol content of on-premise wine and mixed spirits drinks. More research is needed to evaluate potential differences in drink pours by patron race and ethnicity.[Kerr WC, Patterson D, Koenen MA, Greenfield TK.

            <description>Conclusions. As the first to show a direct association between non-fatal overdose and subsequent overdose mortality, this study has important implications for the prevention of overdose mortality. This study also shows the profound effect of macro-level heroin market dynamics on overdose mortality.[Stoové MA, Dietze PM, Jolley D.

            <description>Conclusions. Although challenges related to access to care remain in many settings, SIF have potential to promote health by facilitating enhanced access to health-care and social services through a model of care that is accessible to high-risk IDU.[Small W, Van Borek N, Fairbairn N, Wood E, Kerr T.

            <description>Conclusion. Conclusions are drafted for new perspectives in prevention activities. More long-term, user-focused, demand-centred prevention activities should be carried out in more and more diversified settings and evaluation should be thoroughly considered.[Dégi CL.

            <description>Conclusions. While in Western countries alcohol is considered as a protective factor for CHD, in Ukraine alcohol-related cardiovascular mortality is rather high. In 2004 in Ukraine total number of alcohol-related deaths was about 119,000 or 251 per 100,000 of population.[Krasovsky K. Alcohol-related mortality in Ukraine.

            <description>Conclusions. Methamphetamine users living on the North Coast of New South Wales require treatment options tailored to address a complex array of physical and psychological problems. The findings highlight the need for psychiatric support and improved coordination between mental health and drug and alcohol services in rural and regional areas.[Wallace C, Galloway T, McKetin R, Kelly E, Leary J.
