  Title The importance of peer educator qualities : as perceived by ecstasy users Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication SuchtMagazin Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 36 Issue 5; 10/2010 Pages 17-20  
  Keywords nightlife; AOD use; psychoactive substances; conference proceedings; journal article  
  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.

  Title Drug consumption and (safer) sex Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication SuchtMagazin Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 36 Issue 5; 10/2010 Pages 12-16  
  Keywords nightlife; AOD use; psychoactive substances; conference proceedings; journal article  
  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.

  Title Ecstasy, gender and accountability in a rave scene Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication SuchtMagazin Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 36 Issue 5; 10/2010 Pages 7-11  
  Keywords nightlife; AOD use; psychoactive substances; conference proceedings; journal article  
  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.

  Title Binge drinking in african american males from adolescence to young adulthood : the protective influence of religiosity, family connectedness, and close friends' substance use Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Substance use and misuse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 45 Issue 10 Pages 1435-1451  
  Keywords African American; man; gender; adolescent; young adult; binge drinking; protective factors; spirituality and religion; religiosity; peer; group of intimates or friends; family; type of society and culture; research; study; statistical data  
  Abstract We examined the contribution of culturally relevant protective factors (i.e., adolescent religiosity, family connectedness, and perceived close friends’ substance use) to the probability of young adult binge drinking among African American males. Participants (n = 1,599) drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were high school age adolescents (14-18 years, M = 16) at Wave 1 and young adults (18-26, M = 22) at Wave 3. Adolescent binge drinking was associated with all three protective factors. Perceived close friends’ substance use in adolescence was a protective factor in later binge drinking during young adulthood, and was moderated by age such that the effect was stronger for younger adolescents. Implications for culturally relevant research and prevention are discussed.

  Title Public health or human rights: what comes first? Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 15 Issue 4; 09/2004 Pages 231-237  
  Keywords human rights; public health; AOD use; harm reduction  
  Abstract Respect for human rights is a defining feature of harm reduction, which is commonly characterised as a public health-based movement. The importance it attaches to ‘user-friendliness’ and the view that drug users have a right to the same respect and dignity that other users of health and social care services receive is largely undisputed among harm reductionists. Within harm reduction there is also a developing discourse identifying drug use itself as a human right; nudging harm reduction towards being a rights based movement. This allows us to describe two philosophies of harm reduction: a ‘weak rights’ version, in which people are entitled to good treatment and a ‘strong rights’ version that additionally recognises a basic right to use drugs. Prioritising human rights or public health can lead to different concepts of harm reduction and different forms of ‘right action’. Privileging health may even, in some circumstances, be consistent with prohibitionary policies if these reduce harm. By contrast, the strong rights version of harm reduction subordinates public health considerations to the right to use drugs and implies support for policies that may sometimes increase harm. In the UK, the publication of ‘The Angel Declaration’, which recognises a right to use drugs and proposes a skeletal regulatory framework for a post-prohibition era, adds to the impetus for harm reductionists to clarify whether they fully embrace a right to use drugs within their understanding of harm reduction. This paper elaborates these issues in the context of the constraints upon the development of an evidence-based approach to controlling drug use that arise from the UN Conventions of 1961, 1971 and 1988.

  Title Psychosocial predictors of cannabis use in adolescents at risk Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Prevention Science Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 6 Issue 3; 09/2005 Pages 237-244  
  Keywords cannabis; adolescent; risk factors; protective factors; psychosocial environment; social integration; gender differences; study; statistical data; research; secondary prevention; Switzerland  
  Abstract This research has tested a social disintegration model in conjunction with risk and protection factors that have the power to differentiate relative, weighted interactions among variables in different socially disintegrated groups. The model was tested in a cross-sectional sample of 1082 at-risk youth in Switzerland. Structural equation analyses show significant differences between the social disintegration (low, moderate, high) groups and gender, indicating that the model works differently for groups and for gender. For the highly disintegrated adolescents results clearly show that the risk factors (negative mood, peer network, delinquency) are more important than the protective factors (family relations, secure sense of self). Family relations lose all protective value against negative peer influence, but personal variables, such as secure self, gain protective power.

  Title A gender specific model of substance use Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Addiction Research and Theory Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 4; 08/2006 Pages 399-412  
  Keywords AOD use; adolescent; risk factors; protective factors; family; peer; emotional and psychiatric depression; gender differences; study; statistical data; research; secondary prevention; Switzerland  
  Abstract This research has tested a structural model of risk and protection factors among 1437 at-risk adolescents in Switzerland. The model was used to identify important gender and age differences. Our research shows that interactions between parents, peers, negative mood, and secure self create a range of risk factors for girls and boys, and for younger and older teens. Negative peer group was a greater risk for young girls than for young boys. Negative mood can serve as an early warning sign for boys, as can negative peer group for girls. Mood for boys was marginally associated with a substance-using peer group and with poor relationships in the family. This suggests that for boys the focus of prevention should be on family relationships and for girls on peer relationships. For older girls, secure self was the greatest protector against substance-using peers, whereas for younger boys and girls, parents continued to offer some protection. The focus on development of secure self in older girls holds promise for secondary prevention.

  Title Adolescent risk: the co-occurrence of illness, suicidality, and substance use Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Journal of youth and adolescence Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 34 Issue 6; 12/2005 Pages 547-557  
  Keywords AOD use; adolescent; risk factors; protective factors; emotional and psychiatric depression; suicidal behavior; study; statistical data; research; secondary prevention; Switzerland  
  Abstract Illness is rarely considered a “risk factor” in adolescence. This study tests illness, suicidality and substance use as outcome measures in a path analysis of 1028 Swiss adolescents in secondary prevention programs. The model showed that negative mood (depression and anxiety) predicted two paths. One path led from negative mood to suicidality and from there to substance use. The other path led directly from negative mood to illness. Traditional protective factors (good relationships, secure identity) protected against the negative mood-suicide-substance path, but not against the negative mood-illness path.
