  Title Evaluation der Kampagnen Love Life Stop Aids 2005-2008 : Schlussbericht Type Report
  Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages iii, 41, Anhänge  
  Keywords public health; prevention campaign; HIV infection; Aids; evaluation; strategy; report; Switzerland  
  Abstract Die externe Evaluation der Kampagnen LOVE LIFE STOP AIDS des Bundesamtes für Gesundheit (BAG) untersucht die Wirkung der Kampagnen in den Jahren 2005-2008, die Umsetzung der Strategie sowie das Bild des BAG in der Öffentlichkeit. Die Evaluationsbefunde stellen eine im Vergleich zu früheren Werten sinkende Erinnerung an die Kampagnen fest, die noch nicht gefestigte Bekanntheit der „Marke“ LOVE LIFE STOP AIDS und eine weiterhin sehr gute Bekanntheit der „Präservativ-Botschaft”. Die Kampagnen werden gemäss der zugrunde liegenden Strategie realisiert und es wurde von den befragten Personen keine Kritik am Bundesamt laut. Dem BAG wird empfohlen, die strategische Ausrichtung der Kampagnen bis 2010 (mit leichten Anpassungen) beizubehalten, der verbesserten Zielerreichung jedoch besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. L’évaluation externe des campagnes LOVE LIFE STOP AIDS de l’Office fédéral de la santé publique (OFSP) s’intéresse aux effets des campagnes des années 2005-2008, à la mise en oeuvre de la stratégie ainsi qu’à l’image publique de l’OFSP. L’évaluation montre qu’on se souvient moins bien des campagnes qu’avant 2005, que la « marque » LOVE LIFE STOP AIDS n’est pas encore très bien positionnée et que le « message préservatif » continue d’être très bien connu. Les campagnes sont réalisées conformément à la stratégie qui les sous-tend et les personnes contactées n’ont pas émis de critiques vis-à-vis de l’OFSP. Les évaluateurs recommandent à l’OFSP de maintenir l’orientation stratégique jusqu’en 2010, moyennant de légères adaptations et en s’attachant à mieux atteindre des objectifs.

  Title The negative impact of the war on drugs on public health : the hidden hepatitis C epidemic Type Report
  Year 2013 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 19  
  Keywords government and politics; laws and regulations; law enforcement; prison; war; public health; communicable disease; hepatitis C; HIV infection; epidemiology; intravenous drug user; AOD consumption; AODR mortality; harm reduction; needle distribution and exchange; prevention; stigma; criminalization; social and economic cost of AOD; political activism; recommendations or guidelines; international area  
  Abstract Hepatitis C is a highly prevalent chronic viral infection which poses major public health, economic and social crises, particularly in low and middle income countries. The global hepatitis C epidemic has been described by the World Health Organization as a ‘viral time bomb’, yet continues to receive little attention. Access to preventative services is far too low, while diagnosis and treatment are prohibitively expensive and remain inaccessible for most people in need. Public awareness and political will with regard to hepatitis C are also too low, and national hepatitis surveillance is often non-existent. The hepatitis C virus is highly infectious and is easily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. It therefore disproportionately impacts upon people who inject drugs: of the 16 million people who inject drugs around the world, an estimated 10 million are living with hepatitis C. In some of the countries with the harshest drug policies, the majority of people who inject drugs are living with hepatitis C – more than 90 percent in places such as Thailand and parts of the Russian Federation. The hepatitis C virus causes debilitating and fatal disease in around a quarter of those who are chronically infected, and is an increasing cause of premature death among people who inject drugs. Globally, most HIV-infected people who inject drugs are also living with a hepatitis C infection. Harm reduction services – such as the provision of sterile needles and syringes and opioid substitution therapy – can effectively prevent hepatitis C transmission among people who inject drugs, provided they are accessible and delivered at the required scale. Instead of investing in effective prevention and treatment programmes to achieve the required coverage, governments continue to waste billions of dollars each year on arresting and punishing drug users – a gross misallocation of limited resources that could be more efficiently used for public health and preventive approaches. At the same time, repressive drug policies have fuelled the stigmatisation, discrimination and mass incarceration of people who use drugs. As a result, there are very few countries that have reported significant declines in new infections of hepatitis C among this population. This failure of governments to prevent and control hepatitis disease has great significance for future costs to health and welfare budgets in many countries. In 2012 the Global Commission on Drug Policy released a report that outlined how the ‘war on drugs’ is driving the HIV epidemic among people who use drugs. The present report focuses on hepatitis C as it represents another massive and deadly epidemic for this population. It provides a brief overview of the hepatitis C virus, before exploring how the ‘war on drugs’ and repressive drug policies are failing to drive transmission down. The silence about the harms of repressive drug policies has been broken – they are ineffective, violate basic human rights, generate violence, and expose individuals and communities to unnecessary risks. Hepatitis C is one of these harms – yet it is both preventable and curable when public health is the focus of the drug response. Now is the time to reform.

  Title World drug report 2012 Type Report
  Year 2012 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 100  
  Keywords illegal drug use; AOD associated consequences; opioids in any form; cocaine; drug market; cannabis; amphetamines; laws and regulations; monitoring; prevalence; international area  
  Abstract Illicit drug markets have global dimensions and require coordinated responses on a comparable scale. In this context, the World Drug Report aims to improve understanding of the illicit drug problem and contribute to more international cooperation for countering it. This year’s edition begins with an overview of recent trends and the current situation in terms of production, trafficking and consumption and the consequences of illicit drug use in terms of treatment, drug-related diseases and drug-related deaths. The second chapter presents a long-term perspective: it looks at the main characteristics of the contemporary drug problem, the ways it has changed over the last few decades, the driving factors that shaped this evolution, and the directions it is likely to take in the future. The Report is considerably shorter than previous editions, and the Statistical Annex is now published electronically on a CD-ROM, as well as the UNODC website: http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/WDR-2012.html

  Abstract Many illicit drug markets have reached global dimensions and require control strategies on a comparable scale. In that context, there is a need to better understand these transnational markets and the manner in which they operate. The yearly World Drug Report is a contribution towards that objective. This year’s edition starts with an overview of the illicit drug situation worldwide and regionally, followed by more comprehensive discussions and statistical trends for the key transnational drug markets, namely opium/heroin, coca/cocaine, amphetamine-type stimulants and cannabis.

  Abstract In 2009, the United Nations Member States decided to make further and decisive progress, within a decade, in controlling illicit drug supply and demand. Many illicit drug markets have reached global dimensions and require control strategies on a comparable scale. In that context, there is a need to better understand these transnational markets and the manner in which they operate. This year’s World Drug Report is a contribution towards that objective. It opens with an analytical discussion of three key transnational drug markets: the markets for heroin, cocaine and amphetamine-type stimulants. The market discussion is followed by a presentation of statistical trends for all major drug categories. The latest information on drug production, seizures and consumption is presented. Finally, there is a discussion on the relationship between drug trafficking and instability.

  Title After the war on drugs : blueprint for regulation Type Book Whole
  Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages xiv, 215  
  Keywords government and politics; public policy on AOD; AOD supply; AOD use; illicit drug; illegal production of drugs; drug dealing; drug trafficking; laws and regulations; drug decriminalization; international area; United Kingdom  
  Abstract There is a growing recognition around the world that the prohibition of drugs is a counterproductive failure. However, a major barrier to drug law reform has been a widespread fear of the unknown – just what could a post-prohibition regime look like? For the first time, ‘After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation’ answers that question by proposing specific models of regulation for each main type and preparation of prohibited drug, coupled with the principles and rationale for doing so. We demonstrate that moving to the legal regulation of drugs is not an unthinkable, politically impossible step in the dark, but a sensible, pragmatic approach to control drug production, supply and use.
