Voorham, L., & van Hasselt, N. (2010). The Healthy Nightlife Toolbox HNT. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 25–27.
Abstract: Evidence based working is becoming increasingly important, especially since resources for prevention activities are becoming harder to come by. By using the Healthy Nightlife Toolbox for gaining and sharing insights, we prevent field workers from having to re-invent the wheel and offer a solid knowledge base on how to create safe and healthy nightlife settings.

Silins, E., Bleeker, A. M., Copeland, J., Dillon, P., Devlin, K., van Bakkum, F., et al. (2010). The importance of peer educator qualities : as perceived by ecstasy users. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 17–20.
Abstract: This study investigated the importance of peer educator qualities among ecstasy users in Australia (n=661) and the Netherlands (n=265). Experience with illicit drug use, an affinity with the ecstasy-using subculture and age emerged as important peer educator characteristics. In the Netherlands, more importance was placed on the peer educator having used illicit drugs and less importance was placed on age, subculture membership, being «cool» and gender than in Australia. The implications for peer-led ecstasy-related education practices are discussed.

Eul, J. (2010). Drug consumption and (safer) sex. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 12–16.
Abstract: According to a survey of approx. 700 people on the influence of alcohol and 13 other drugs on their sexual perception, sexual behaviour and condom use, it was found that most drugs increase sociableness, the desire for sex, orgasm strength and sensitivity to touch. However, they also lower the ability to orgasm and maintain an erection, and increase the risk of unsafe sex. The greatest risks here, in up to 75% of cases, occur after the consumption of GHB/GBL or crystal, and in 20 to 50% of cases following the consumption of speed, ecstasy, poppers, cocaine or large quantities of alcohol.

Moloney, M., & Hunt, G. (2010). Ecstasy, gender and accountability in a rave scene. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 7–11.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the accomplishment of gender in the context of the youth cultural formation of dance raves. Drawing on a narrative analysis of in-depth interviews with 300 young women and men in a San Francisco rave scene, we examine the role that the drug ecstasy plays in the gender formations at these events. We present evidence to show that using ecstasy within the social context of raves allows increased gender flexibility and alternatives to conventional notions of femininity and masculinity. This is particularly apparent in the ways that young women exhibit greater sexual assertiveness and young men demonstrate increased affective and communicative displays. Yet at the same time, their narratives provide ample evidence that gender accomplishment in this context does not occur outside the bounds of gender accountability and behaviors seen as gender inappropriate are actively policed and sanctioned.

Abstract: Die Jugendberatung Streetwork, ein Angebot der Stadt Zürich, bietet seit 1995 Präventionsangebote im Zürcher Nachtleben an. Die Evaluation des vielfältigen Angebots zeigt, dass die Zielgruppe nur mit einem lebensweltlichen und akzeptanzorientierten Ansatz erreicht werden kann, und dass dem Drug-Checking eine wichtige Rolle zukommt.

Benso, V. (2010). User-Dealer – vergessen von der Schadensminderung. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 36–39.
Abstract: Der Fokus dieses Artikels liegt auf der oft negierten Gruppe der KonsumentInnen, welche selber Drogen verkaufen (User-Dealer). Die Grundlage stellt eine qualitative Untersuchung in der Pariser Technoszene dar. Hervorgehoben werden dabei die Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich dem Prozess, User-Dealer zu werden oder daraus rauszukommen, und den spezifischen Risiken, mit welchen diese Gruppe konfrontiert ist. Ziel ist, mittels dieses Wissens das Verständnis von Gesundheits- und Justizinstitutionen zu erhöhen, damit diese sich zukünftig adäquater dieser Gruppe annehmen.
