  Title Therapeutic communities for the treatment of drug users Type Book Whole
  Year 2001 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 272  
  Keywords treatment and maintenance; inpatient care  
  Abstract (down) This multi-author review by British editors is divided into background, history and current situation, ‘life-in’, variations on the model and, finally, research and evaluation. Multi-authorship has led to overlaps. It was pleasing to see the early pioneers described as ‘charismatic free-thinkers...imbued with ideological viewpoints and passion...experimenting’. Were there no evidence-based practice protocols? Within a referenced history, there are ample quotes from residents outlining the changes leading to the ‘new therapeutic communities’. Central throughout have been the Encounter Groups with the experience evolving; the move from behaviour modification to social learning, from confrontation to motivation. Also, there is the tension between professional input and the focus of the community being ‘self-help’ and ‘here and now’, plus the gradual erosion of insider/outsider divisions, to becoming part of the wider community. Authoritive, prescriptive and inflexible chapters are balanced by more personal portraits of therapeutic communities. Alan Woodham’s closing personal view of working in a therapeutic community is not covered elsewhere, yet needs to be heard by those thinking of this field or funding these groups. As for residents’ experiences, Keith Burnett provides a flowing association of thoughts with quotes from individuals. He addresses the problem of high drop-out rates, and offers solutions, not just leaving the responsibility on the ex-resident as being ‘not motivated’. Examples of how to, and how not to, set up a therapeutic community in prison, are given. Re-integration within the community has been neglected for too long and Paul Goodman and Karen Nolan give a frank view of resettlement. The chapter by Barbara Rawlings on evaluation, essential in any review, is an overview of the evidence beyond ‘improvements were greatest for those that stayed the longest’. Edle Ravndal gives details of one outcome study in Norway showing a methodology which others could well copy if they wish to remain financially sound.

  Abstract (down) This Manual is a revised edition of the Treatment demand indicator (TDI) protocol version 2.0 and presents updated guidelines for reporting data on people entering drug treatment in Europe. The TDI is one of five key epidemiological indicators which provide a common European methodology for collecting and reporting core data on the number and profiles of those entering specialised drug treatment each year. TDI data are routinely used in EMCDDA analysis of the drug situation in Europe, helping to identify trends and patterns in problem drug use and to assess the use and uptake of treatment facilities.

  Title Drug policy guide Type Book Whole
  Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages v, 114  
  Keywords government and politics; program planning; laws and regulations; AOD public policy strategy; AOD use, abuse, and dependence; drug market; recommendations or guidelines; cooperation; international area  
  Abstract (down) This is the first edition of the IDPC Drug Policy Guide aimed at national government policy makers. This publication is a collaborative effort by a number of IDPC members and partners, and brings together global evidence and best practices on the design and implementation of drug policies and programmes at national level. We are in an era of uncertainty for national policy makers in this field – drug problems and related challenges are increasing and it is increasingly clear that simple ‘war on drugs’ approaches are not succeeding in eradicating the problem. There are a growing number of policy and programme options available to address the harms that are associated with drug markets and drug use. Politicians and officials therefore face the challenge of defining a set of policies and programmes that are appropriate for the situation in their country. This guide, and the network of expertise that exists across the IDPC, is designed to help in that process. Each chapter describes the nature of the policy challenges and the range of evidence and experiences around the world, and sets out advice and recommendations for effective policy going forward.

  Title Inequalities in young people's health : HBSC international report from the 2005/2006 survey Type Report
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages xiv, 206  
  Keywords health and disease; child; adolescent; social inequality; AOD use, abuse, and dependence; international area; Europe; United States; Canada  
  Abstract (down) This international report is the fourth from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, a WHO collaborative cross-national study, and the most comprehensive. It presents the key findings on patterns of health among young people aged 11, 13 and 15 years in 41 countries and regions across the WHO European Region and North America in 2005/2006. Its theme is health inequalities: quantifying the gender, age, geographic and socioeconomic dimensions of health differentials. Its aim is to highlight where these inequalities exist, to inform and influence policy and practice and to help improve health for all young people. The report clearly shows that, while the health and well-being of many young people give cause for celebration, sizeable minorities are experiencing real and worrying problems related to overweight and obesity, self-esteem, life satisfaction, substance misuse and bullying. The report provides reliable data that health systems in Member States can use to support and encourage sectors such as education, social inclusion and housing, to achieve their primary goals and, in so doing, benefit young people’s health. Policy-makers and professionals in the participating countries should listen closely to the voices of their young people and ensure that these drive their efforts to put in place the circumstances – social, economic, health and educational – within which young people can thrive and prosper.
