  Title A review of the evidence-base for harm reduction approaches to drug use Type Report
  Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 79  
  Keywords harm reduction; health and disease; risk; AOD use, abuse, and dependence; HIV infection; Aids; viral hepatitis; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; AOD overdose; AOD use and driving; AODR crime; AODR violence; needle distribution and exchange; prison; sex worker; treatment and maintenance; drug substitution therapy; heroin-assisted treatment; cost (economic); cost-effectiveness; education; injection room; motivational interviewing; physical and chemical analysis and measurement; international area  
  Abstract (down) This document, from Forward Thinking on Drugs, details the theory and practice of harm reduction and evaluates its effectiveness. The first section of the document outlines what harm reduction is, including its main principles, and addresses key criticisms. The second section of the document outlines key harm reduction interventions, including: needle and syringe programmes; methadone and other replacement therapies; depenalisation; information, education and communication; safer injecting and other drug consumption rooms; and motivational interviewing. The paper outlines three key findings from the evidence. Firstly, harm reduction works, especially methadone and other replacement therapies, and needle and syringe programmes. The author argues that these should be considered for adoption in regions where they are currently unavailable. Secondly, harm reduction programmes show promise and require cautious, monitored, and locally adapted expansion. Finally, the author finds that harm reduction interventions are widely used yet under-researched, especially those which include information, education and communication programmes, and motivational interviewing approaches to conventional harm reduction targets such as HIV prevention. The author concludes that the best response is to develop better evidence in order to discard approaches that do not work and develop and disseminate those that do.

  Title Strategy for integrating gender analysis and actions into the work of WHO Type Book Whole
  Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 15  
  Keywords gender; health; social equality; recommendations or guidelines  
  Abstract (down) This document presents the World Health Organization’s strategy for integrating gender analysis and actions into its work. It also reproduces resolution WHO60.25 which was adopted by the Sixtieth World Health Assembly in May 2007. The strategy elaborates four strategic directions that aim to enhance and expand WHO’s capacity to analyse the role of gender and sex in health and to monitor and address systemic and avoidable gender-based inequalities in health, as follows: building WHO capacity for gender analysis and planning; bringing gender into the mainstream of WHO’s management; promoting use of sex-disaggregated data and gender analysis; and establishing accountability. It is intended for all WHO managers, technical and administrative staff because gender is a cross-cutting issue.

  Title Harm reduction, the EU accession process and EU drug policy : an overview Type Report
  Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 8  
  Keywords harm reduction; government and politics; strategy; public policy on AOD; European Union; Central Europe; Eastern Europe; Russia  
  Abstract (down) This document is intended to provide general information about the EU accession process and EU drug policy for NGOs in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the former Soviet Union (FSU) working the field of harm reduction. It is intended that after reading this document and referencing some of the sources cited, such NGOs will be more able to negotiate effectively with their governments and on an equal footing. That is, they will be able to understand the vocabulary of the accession process and the EU and apply the principles of EU drug policy to their own countries in order to craft arguments for satisfactory drug policies in their own countries. Familiarity with these concepts and arguments may also be useful when applying to foundations, international organizations and governments for funding. The first part of this document provides an overview of the EU accession process, highlighting areas of relevance to drug policy. The second part of this document outlines current EU drug policy, highlighting areas of relevance to countries of CEE and FSU.

  Title A family affair? : supporting children living with parental substance misuse : a report of a national conference held in October 2011 Type Report
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 22, appendices  
  Keywords AOD consumption; child; parent; family; familial alcoholism; public policy; prevention; conference; report; international area; Ireland  
  Abstract (down) This conference originated from the findings of a literature review carried out by Dr. Justine Horgan, Senior Researcher National Advisory Committee on Drugs on the impact of parental substance misuse on children. The main finding of this review was that parental substance misuse can, and does, negatively impact on the health, development and welfare of children including both abuse and neglect. As children’s welfare and protection is a major governmental and societal priority, this conference was timely and the invitation by the NACD to the HSE and alcohol Action Ireland to become co-sponsors of the conference ensured the widest possible dissemination of the findings. The organisers welcomed the presence of two Ministers who were fully supportive of the aims of the conference. The presence of senior managers from the HSE Addiction and Children and Families Services was also key to the recognition of this as a conjoint managerial responsibility. This was the first national conference addressing the impact of parental substance misuse on children and the first combined gathering of staff working in addiction, child welfare and protection services from the community, statutory and voluntary sectors. Such a large gathering enabled the sharing of observations and experiences and an exchange of views on the challenges involved in early intervention and interagency work in the context of diminishing resources. The conference also highlighted the importance of public policy with local implementation supported by adequate resources. One such policy, the Hidden Harm strategy in Northern Ireland, highlights the need, as a main objective of policy and practice, to reduce the harm to children from parental substance misuse. This strategy also recognises that effective treatment of the parent can have major benefits for the child and that by working together, services can take many practical steps to protect and improve the health and well-being of affected children. Furthermore, recognition that problems affecting children will only decrease when the number of people with harmful drinking patterns and problem drug use diminishes is of critical importance as are the relevant strategies aimed at implementing such reductions. Points from the Hidden Harm strategy are re-iterated by the following key findings from our national conference as follows: 1. All services, including child, family and adult services need to view the welfare of the child as paramount. Agencies need to work together, taking a child-centred approach, supporting the whole family to meet their child’s needs. 2. Adult drug and alcohol services have a duty to consider and assess how the adult’s behaviour may be affecting the children in their care 3. Invest in prevention and early intervention services 4. Provide services and supports directly to children 5. Ensure organisations are clear about their responsibilities under Children First. Putting Children First on a legislative basis would ensure that organisations have a duty to work together in the interests of the child. 6. Policies that reduce substance misuse consumption levels can reduce the level of harm to children living with parental substance misuse problems. This conference provided a forum to respond to a literature review which clearly identifies that parental substance misuse is a most serious challenge to child welfare and child protection in modern Ireland. The challenge now is to recognise this issue as current, even though largely invisible and to take the necessary steps to implement the policies and measures required to safeguard and protect children now and for future generations.

  Title Public opinion about syringe exchange programmes in the USA: an analysis of national surveys Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 15 Issue 4; 09/2004 Pages 225-230  
  Keywords drug market; illicit drug; legal regulation; drug legalization; drug decriminalization; public health; AOD public policy strategy; policy recommendations  
  Abstract (down) This commentary explores the concept of a regulated market for currently illegal drugs. It details a variety of specific public health tools which could be used in a regulatory regimen to control access to these substances. The distinction between administrative and social controlling mechanisms is discussed. The author concludes that a regulated market for drugs founded on inclusive public health and moral principles is a rational approach to the pervasive global concern of illegal drugs in our society.
