| Abstract |
We all have an interest in knowing which policies work in tackling problems associated with drug use. Many members of the public, and many politicians, believe that our drug policies are not working. But the debate about how we address the challenges of mind-altering drugs is polarised in a way not seen in most other policy areas. The UK Drug Policy Commission was established to address these problems in a different way. Its aim has been to show how independent scrutiny of evidence can produce both better results and more effective use of resources in drug policy and practice. Existing drug policies have struggled to limit the damage drug use can cause, and now new challenges are emerging. The rapid development of new drugs is changing drug markets too quickly for the traditional methods we use to control drugs to be effective. The economic crisis may be impacting on the nature of drug use and drug problems and, with fewer resources, the capacity of services to respond will be limited further. Added to that, the speed and scale at which services are being devolved to a local level may create increasing and unpredictable variations in the kind of services offered in different parts of the UK. In this report, UKDPC proposes a radical rethink of how we structure our response to drug problems. It provides an analysis of the evidence for how policies and interventions could be improved, with recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to address the new and established challenges associated with drug use. UKDPC aims to foster a fresh approach to drug policy: one in which evidence takes priority, creating light rather than heat in the debate on drugs, so that we can create an environment that works to reduce dependence on drugs, safeguards communities and delivers value for money. |

| Abstract |
Die Stärkung von Schutz- und Resilienzfaktoren könnte die Wirkung von gesundheitsfördernden und präventiven Maßnahmen und auch die Fähigkeit von Menschen, sich für ein gesundheitsförderliches Lebensumfeld einzusetzen, verbessern. Ziel der vorliegenden Expertise ist es, die wissenschaftliche Basis für eine solche Strategie zu verbreitern. Ausgangspunkt bildet Band 6 dieser Fachheftreihe von 1988 mit dem Titel “Was erhält Menschen gesund?” zu Antonovskys Modell der Salutogenese. Die theoretische und empirische Weiterentwicklung der Salutogeneseforschung zu einer Schutz- und Resilienzforschung wurde zehn Jahre später für den Bereich Kinder und Jugendliche in Band 35 aufgegriffen. In dieser Expertise werden thematisiert u.a. der Entstehungshintergrund der Schutzfaktorenforschung, der Stellenwert und die wissenschaftliche Fundierung der Konzepte, empirische Befunde zu Schutz- und Resilienzfaktoren sowie Fragen nach dem Stellenwert und Nutzen der Konzepte für die Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung. Im Anhang werden die Ergebnisse der umfassenden Literaturrecherche für den Zeitraum 1998-2011 dargestellt, die Grundlage der Expertise war. Durch die systematische synoptische Aufbereitung des derzeitigen Wissens liegt nun auch für den Erwachsenenbereich eine aktuelle Grundlage für die Planung präventiver und gesundheitsfördernder Maßnahmen vor. |

| Abstract |
The EU drug markets report provides the first comprehensive overview of illicit drug markets in the European Union. The report combines Europol’s strategic perspective and operational understanding of trends and developments in organised crime with the EMCDDA’s ongoing monitoring and analysis of various aspects of the drug phenomenon in Europe and beyond. The EU drug market is complex, and the analysis provided here spans numerous topics such as production, consumer markets, trafficking, organised crime and policy responses. Taking a multi-source approach, the report reviews the markets for heroin, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine, methamphetamine, ecstasy and new psychoactive substances. It also provides concrete action points for the areas where the current EU response to the drug market and its consequent harms may be improved. This publication is an essential reference for law enforcement professionals, policymakers, the academic community and indeed for anyone seeking up-to-date information and analysis on drug markets in Europe. |

| Abstract |
This Selected issue starts off by reviewing the available data on drug use among prison populations in Europe, focusing on injecting drug use and other health risk behaviours. Major health risks for drug-using prisoners, including blood-borne infections and infections that can affect all prisoners equally, such as tuberculosis, are discussed. Also mentioned is the role of prison environments, where overcrowding and unsanitary conditions are not uncommon, and the higher-than-average occurrence of psychiatric problems among prisoners. The first section concludes by describing the increased risk of death among prisoners, both in custody and after release. The second part of the report focuses on responses to the health needs of drug-using prisoners in European countries. The study looks at how the internationally recognised rights of prisoners and the European and international rules that set standards for the care of prisoners apply to those with drug problems. The administration of prison healthcare in European countries is examined, and national policies are reviewed. This is followed by an overview of the available information on drug-related service provision in Europe, from prison entry to prison release, addressing counselling, treatment of drug dependence and the prevention of infectious diseases and drug overdose. |

This Thematic paper contains the results of a study that examined drug prevention interventions for minority ethnic populations in 29 European countries. A total of 33 interventions were reported to the study and the issues they raise are presented and discussed in the paper. The results will inform the EMCDDA’s plans for 2013-15 in terms of monitoring drug prevention interventions particularly in three areas: data collection, design and quality, and the dissemination of knowledge. |
