Frumkin, H. (2003). Healthy Places : exploring the evidence. American journal of public health : official journal of the American Public Health Association, 93(9; 09/2003), 1451–1456.
Abstract: “Sense of place” is a widely discussed concept in fields as diverse as geography, environmental psychology, and art, but it has little traction in the field of public health. The health impact of place includes physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and aesthetic outcomes. In this article, the author introduces sense of place as a public health construct. While many recommendations for “good places” are available, few are based on empirical evidence, and thus they are incompatible with current public health practice. Evidencebased recommendations for healthy place making could have important public health implications. Four aspects of the built environment, at different spatial scales – nature contact, buildings, public spaces, and urban form – are identified as offering promising opportunities for public health research, and potential research agendas for each are discussed.

Abstract: Dank der modernen Vision der Gesundheitssysteme, durch die Netzwerke gefördert werden, ist eine neue, vom Bundesamt für Gesundheitswesen und COROMA (Collège Romand de Médecine de l’Addiction) in Auftrag gegebene Arbeit entstanden. Darin wird die Rolle des Apothekers in einem interdisziplinären Netzwerk, welches sich mit der Prävention und der Behandlung respektive Betreuung von Patienten mit Suchtverhalten beschäftigt, präzisiert.

Abstract: Background : Heroin-assisted substitution treatment for severely opioid-dependent drug users has been available in Switzerland since 1994. Our aim was to ascertain the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this treatment. Methods : We did a cohort study in 21 community outpatient treatment centres. We assessed 1969 opioid-dependent drug users, who began heroin-assisted substitution treatment between January, 1994, and December, 2000, to ascertain admission and discharge patterns, and patient characteristics. We also followed up a subset of 237 patients who began treatment between Jan 1, 1994, and March 31, 1995, and who stayed with the programme for at least 18 months. We used questionnaires, interviews, and medical examinations done at entry and after 6, 12, and 18 months to assess somatic and mental health, social integration, and treatment outcomes. Findings : More than 70% (1378) of patients remained in treatment for more than a year. Treatment showed positive effects with respect to health and social outcomes. A long stay in treatment was related to a higher chance of starting abstinence-oriented therapy than a short stay. Interpretation : Heroin-assisted substitution treatment might be an effective option for chronically addicted patients for whom other treatments have failed.
