Abstract |
Phase I of the Zurich Prometheus Study is a cross-sectional study focusing on an up-to-date serology for HIV and hepatitis B/C and associated risk factors for all clients in four participating clinics offering opiate substitution in Zurich, Switzerland. The mean age of the 603 respondents is 30.7 years (SD=6.2), and 38% of them are women. Seventy-five percent of the respondents have a history of injecting drug use (IDU), and over half have injected within the past six months. Lab-confirmed seroprevalence for HBV (50%) and HCV (57%) is twice that of HIV (24%). There is an 80% risk reduction for all three viral infections among those starting IDU after 1991—when harm reduction efforts were in full swing—compared to those who began before 1988—before clean needles were widely available. These findings suggest a strongly protective effective of harm reduction measures. But while a stabilization in HIV prevalence at 15% can be seen among drug users who started injecting after 1991, prevalence rates for HBV and HCV still remain several times higher. The prevalence data in this study support data showing continued high incidence rates for HBV and HCV, even among new injectors in the harm reduction era. |

Abstract |
Cannabis is the illegal substance most commonly used in all countries of the European Union. The increased use of cannabis during the past decade has increased the profile of the drug. Used mainly by young adults, but also by many schoolchildren, cannabis is a drug consumed by individuals during their formative years, at a time when they may be more vulnerable to the long-term harmful effects of drug use. Comments in the media and elsewhere of a large increase in the potency of cannabis have raised concerns that the drug now available is much stronger than that available in the past. |

Abstract |
This volume is the result of an EMCDDA-commissioned study carried out in 1998 and 1999 into one of the most widely discussed drug-related topics in Europe today: substitution treatment. The study was prompted by the lively debate on the issue in the mid-1990s, when Switzerland launched its first heroin trial, France began buprenorphine treatment and methadone programmes expanded rapidly throughout Europe. These initiatives led to an increased focus on substitution treatment and to the trajectories it was to follow in the future. The volume opens with a historical overview of substitution treatment, the development of methadone maintenance and other substitution services and a section on monitoring and evaluation. It closes with a series of country profiles for each of the then 15 EU Member States, all containing an introduction to substitution treatment in the country concerned. |

Abstract |
Injecting is one of the main causes of health damage related to illegal drug use today. It is strongly related to fatal and non-fatal overdoses, as well as to the transmission of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B and C, and HIV infection. Yet studying drug injection is no easy task, due to its hidden nature and low prevalence in general population terms. It is necessary to understand why and how people decide to engage in such dangerous behaviour, and to analyse how drug injectors perceive risk. There are fundamental issues that need to be understood in order to interpret and better use epidemiological quantitative data on the subject. This publication is the result of a review undertaken by the EMCDDA working group on injecting drug use and risk behaviour. It helps in understanding injecting drug use and its adverse health consequences, particularly risk behaviour associated with the transmission of HIV. |

Abstract |
This publication provides information on best practice in drug prevention at European, national, regional and municipal level. It is a translation of a German study commissioned by the Federal Centre for Health Education, Cologne. While, in some sections, reference is made particularly to Germany, the publication’s conclusions are international, providing added value for a pan-European or global readership. It is hoped that the publication will help accelerate the development in Member States of quality standards for prevention projects and training requirements for prevention workers. |

Abstract |
Researching and analysing the responses of the criminal-justice systems to drug offenders throughout Europe is one of the EMCDDA’s priorities. This study is the result of a decision taken by the EMCDDA’s Management Board in 1999 to set up a legal information system on drugs. This study, focusing on the gap between law and practice, aims to highlight the real outcomes for individuals arrested for using and selling drugs and committing property crimes. |

Abstract |
Ziel der Studie war es festzustellen, wie sich die Lebens- und Arbeitssituation der in Deutschland lebenden Gruppen von Migranten/innen untereinander und im Vergleich mit der Allgemeinbevölkerung unterscheidet, welche sozialen Hilfsangebote von ihnen genutzt werden und welche Kenntnisse sie zum Thema HIV/AIDS, STD und Sexualität haben. Das Forschungsprojekt eröffnete die Möglichkeit, bei den Bereichen Zugang zum Gesundheits- und Sozialsystem, Kenntnisse, Einstellungen und Verhalten zu HIV/AIDS und STD, Einstellungen und Meinungen zu Infektionsrisiken und Präventionsnotwendigkeiten, zum Sexualverhalten zu erheben. In der Betroffenengruppe der Migranten/innen sind differenzierte Gruppenvergleiche nach Herkunftsländern, Aufenthaltsstatus, Alter und Geschlecht,Versicherungsstatus, Sprachkenntnissen und Einkommen vorgenommen worden. |
