Abstract: Infectious diseases are among the most serious health consequences of injecting drug use and can lead to significant healthcare costs. Injecting drug users are vulnerable to a range of infectious and communicable diseases through a variety of risk behaviours, and because of underlying conditions such as poor hygiene, homelessness and poverty. There is a recognised need for guidance on providing IDUs with a medical examination and testing for HIV, viral hepatitis and several other infections on a regular basis. In addition, improving testing uptake in this group would benefit epidemiological surveillance and monitoring as carried out at the national and international level. These guidelines are accompanied by a recommended package of prevention and primary care in relation to injecting drug users and infections. Treatment and other specialist care are not discussed in detail but are dealt with by indicating referral to appropriate services.

various. (2012). Guidelines for the evaluation of drug prevention : a manual for programme planners and evaluators (European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, Ed.) (2nd ed.). Manuals, 8. Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities.
Abstract: Prevention is a key consideration when discussing substance use and related problems. Drug prevention is any activity that delays or reduces the use of substances. Preventing substance use potentially makes other interventions, especially targeting treatment and harm reduction, unnecessary. Evaluation of the various interventions is essential to develop and improve existing approaches and to work towards creating a best practice in drug prevention. The EMCDDA first published the Guidelines for the evaluation of drug prevention in 1998 to respond to a need expressed by professionals and policymakers to have a tool and stimulus to evaluate prevention interventions in Europe. These guidelines aimed to facilitate and encourage project leaders to evaluate their own interventions and to design them accordingly. This second edition is an updated version of the original EMCDDA guidelines, which contains new methods, concepts and examples of currently available drug prevention interventions and which provides a framework for carrying out an evaluation. The content has also been updated with developments in online EMCDDA drug prevention and evaluation resources. Since publication of the first edition, prevention professionals who continue to apply these guidelines have contributed to the increased attention given to evaluation and prevention. However, although guidance on drug prevention is available in some Member States, only a minority of interventions in the European Union have an outcome evaluation. Even large, wellfunded projects are still not fully evaluated and the availability of empirical evidence concerning prevention is weak. These guidelines are intended for professionals working in the drug prevention and evaluation field and can provide valuable guidance when planning and evaluating prevention activities. The intention to develop best practice in drug prevention, as expressed in the 2005–8 and 2009–12 EU drugs action plans, and the fact that evaluation is now widely used in Member States’ drug policy, testify to the importance placed on drug prevention and evaluation in the European Union. The aim of this publication is to raise the profile of both drug prevention and evaluation methodologies and to provide prevention practitioners with an up-to-date framework, to enable their interventions and evaluations to reach their full potential.

various. (2003). Wörterbuch der Sozialpolitik (E. Carigiet, U. Mäder, J. - M. Bonvin, & S. V. für Sozialpolitik, Eds.). Zürich: Rotpunktverlag.
Abstract: Unter der Schirmherrschaft der Schweizerischen Vereinigung für Sozialpolitik (SVSP), zu deren Vorstand die drei Herausgeber gehören, ist dieses umfassende, interdisziplinär konzipierte Nachschlagewerk zur Sozialpolitik entstanden. Rund 300 Autorinnen und Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, betreut von einem guten Dutzend versierter Redakteurinnen und Redakteure, haben rund 750 Beiträge aus den unterschiedlichsten Fachgebieten verfasst. Das vielfältige Fachwissen und die langjährigen Erfahrungen in Politik, Verwaltung, Wissenschaft und in Nichtregierungsorganisationen garantieren eine hohe Qualität und Aktualität. Zur Koordination der aufwändigen Arbeiten wurde speziell für diesen Zweck ein wissenschaftliches Sekretariat am deutschsprachigen Lehrstuhl für Sozialarbeit und Sozialpolitik der Universität Fribourg unter der Leitung von Thérèse de Werra und Alessandro Pelizzari eingerichtet. Eine hohe Kohärenz wurden damit sichergestellt. Das Wörterbuch ergänzt das 2002 in zweiter Auflage erschienene Pendant in französischer Sprache (Dictionnaire suisse de politique sociale). Einige Artikel aus diesem Werk wurden für die vorliegende Ausgabe übersetzt. So wird mit diesem Nachschlagewerk auch der Austausch der verschiedenen Disziplinen über die Sprachgrenzen hinweg gefördert und angeregt.
