Abstract: Die Soziale Arbeit hat eine lange Tradition in der ambulanten und stationären Behandlung von Menschen mit einer Substanzstörung. Methoden wie Case Management, Beratung, sozialpädagogische Konzepte sowie psychotherapeutische Ansätze bilden dabei eine wichtige Grundlage. Doch diese Zugänge werden von Vertretern einer eher soziologischen Sichtweise der Sozialen Arbeit immer wieder kritisiert.

Karcher, M. J. (2008). The Study of Mentoring in the Learning Environment (SMILE) : a randomized evaluation of the effectiveness of school-based mentoring. Prevention Science, 9(2; 06/2008), 99–113.
Abstract: The effect of providing youth school-based mentoring (SBM), in addition to other school-based support services, was examined with a sample of 516 predominately Latino students across 19 schools. Participants in a multi-component, school-based intervention program run by a youth development agency were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1) supportive services alone or (2) supportive services plus SBM. Compared to community-based mentoring, the duration of the SBM was brief (averaging eight meetings), partly because the agency experienced barriers to retaining mentors. Intent-to-treat (ITT) main effects of SBM were tested using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) and revealed small, positive main effects of mentoring on self-reported connectedness to peers, self-esteem (global and present-oriented), and social support from friends, but not on several other measures, including grades and social skills. Three-way cross-level interactions of sex and school level (elementary, middle, and high school) revealed that elementary school boys and high school girls benefited the most from mentoring. Among elementary school boys, those in the mentoring condition reported higher social skills (empathy and cooperation), hopefulness, and connectedness both to school and to culturally different peers. Among high school girls, those mentored reported greater connectedness to culturally different peers, self-esteem, and support from friends. Findings suggest no or iatrogenic effects of mentoring for older boys and younger girls. Therefore, practitioners coordinating multi-component programs that include SBM would be wise to provide mentors to the youth most likely to benefit from SBM and bolster program practices that help to support and retain mentors.

Abstract: Jugendliche brauchen zu einer gesunden Entwicklung gesellschaftliche Freiräume. Das Experimentieren mit Suchtmitteln kann dabei Teil der Erkundigung sein. Unsere Aufgabe ist es, zu frühen Kontakt zu verhindern und dort einzugreifen, wo sich Fehlentwicklungen anbahnen.

Abstract: Somatisation is particularly challenging in multicultural contexts where patients and physicians often differ in terms of their illness-related beliefs and practices and health care expectations. This paper reports on a exploratory study aimed at better understanding how asylum seeker and refugee patients from the former country of Yugoslavia who were identified by their physicians as somatising make sense of their suffering.

Hudleson, P. (2005). Improving patient-provider communication : insights from interpreters. Family practice : an international journal, 22(3; 06/2005), 311–316.
Abstract: It is important for physicians to recognize and address potential cross-cultural communication barriers with their patients. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of trained medical interpreters for ensuring effective patient-provider communication. Medical interpreters also represent an untapped source of insight into common communication problems. Such insights can contribute to strengthening physicians’ cross cultural communication skills.

Henke, J. I., Goergen, D., Zheng, Y., Song, Y., Schüttler, C. G., Fehr, C., et al. (2008). microRNA-122 stimulates translation of hepatitis C virus RNA. The EMBO Journal, 27(Advance Online Publication 24; 20.11.2008), 1–11;3300.
Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive strand RNA virus that propagates primarily in the liver. We show here that the liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-122), a member of a class of small cellular RNAs that mediate posttranscriptional gene regulation usually by repressing the translation of mRNAs through interaction with their 30-untranslated regions (UTRs), stimulates the translation of HCV. Sequestration of miR-122 in liver cell lines strongly reduces HCV translation, whereas addition of miR-122 stimulates HCV translation in liver cell lines as well as in the non-liver HeLa cells and in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The stimulation is conferred by direct interaction of miR-122 with two target sites in the 50-UTR of the HCV genome. With a replication-defective NS5B polymerase mutant genome, we show that the translation stimulation is independent of viral RNA synthesis. miR-122 stimulates HCV translation by enhancing the association of ribosomes with the viral RNA at an early initiation stage. In conclusion, the liver-specific miR-122 may contribute to HCV liver tropism at the level of translation.
