  Title The effect of alcohol advertising, marketing and portrayal on drinking behaviour in young people : systematic review of prospective cohort studies Type Journal Article
  Year 2009 Publication BioMed Central Public Health Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9 Issue 51; 06.02.2009 Pages 11  
  Keywords AOD use; alcohol; adolescent; young adult; marketing; advertising; AOD product advertising; exposure to AOD ad; media  
  Abstract Background: The effect of alcohol portrayals and advertising on the drinking behaviour of young people is a matter of much debate. We evaluated the relationship between exposure to alcohol advertising, marketing and portrayal on subsequent drinking behaviour in young people by systematic review of cohort (longitudinal) studies. Methods: studies were identified in October 2006 by searches of electronic databases, with no date restriction, supplemented with hand searches of reference lists of retrieved articles. Cohort studies that evaluated exposure to advertising or marketing or alcohol portrayals and drinking at baseline and assessed drinking behaviour at follow-up in young people were selected and reviewed. Results: seven cohort studies that followed up more than 13,000 young people aged 10 to 26 years old were reviewed. The studies evaluated a range of different alcohol advertisement and marketing exposures including print and broadcast media. Two studies measured the hours of TV and music video viewing. All measured drinking behaviour using a variety of outcome measures. Two studies evaluated drinkers and non-drinkers separately. Baseline non-drinkers were significantly more likely to have become a drinker at follow-up with greater exposure to alcohol advertisements. There was little difference in drinking frequency at follow-up in baseline drinkers. In studies that included drinkers and non-drinkers, increased exposure at baseline led to significant increased risk of drinking at follow-up. The strength of the relationship varied between studies but effect sizes were generally modest. All studies controlled for age and gender, however potential confounding factors adjusted for in analyses varied from study to study. Important risk factors such as peer drinking and parental attitudes and behaviour were not adequately accounted for in some studies. Conclusion: data from prospective cohort studies suggest there is an association between exposure to alcohol advertising or promotional activity and subsequent alcohol consumption in young people. Inferences about the modest effect sizes found are limited by the potential influence of residual or unmeasured confounding.

  Title The Use of Benzodiazepines Among Injecting Drug Users Type Journal Article
  Year 1994 Publication Drug and alcohol review Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue Pages 63-69  
  Keywords addiction; AOD dependence; chemical addiction; benzodiazepines  
  Abstract Benzodiazepine use among injecting drug users (IDUs) presents a major clinical and public health problem that may increase in importance. The current paper examines the research on the extent of benzodiazepine use among IDUs and the harmful consequences associated with such use. Numerous studies have found benzodiazepine use to be widespread among IDUs, and to be associated with greater levels of risk-taking and polydrug use, and poorer psychosocial functioning than other IDUs. The injection of benzodiazepines has also been reported, and presents problems in itself. The implications of existing research for both clinical practice and research are discussed.

  Title Sex, Geschlecht und Alkoholkonsum : begriffliche Erläuterungen und konkrete Beispiele Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Abhängigkeiten : Forschung und Praxis der Prävention und Behandlung Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue 2; 09/2008 Pages 31-40  
  Keywords gender; man; woman; AOD consumption; chemical addiction; alcohol; AODR violence; drinking and driving; Switzerland; journal article  
  Abstract Die Einführung des Begriffs “Gender” (“Geschlecht”) darf als Meilenstein in den Human- und Sozialwissenschaften gelten. Seit einiger Zeit hat sich sein Gebrauch auch in den Medien und in der weiteren Bevölkerung eingebürgert. Gleichwohl geben unterschiedliche Interpretationen nicht selten Anlass zu Verwirrungen. Es gibt zwei Definitionsweisen der Idee von “Gender”: Einerseits wird auf die sozialen Unterschiede von Männern und Frauen abgestellt, andererseits die hierarchische Beziehung zwischen den Geschlechtsgruppen betont. Der Beitrag streicht die Relevanz dieser Konzeptualisierungen von “Gender” für das Verständnis des Alkoholkonsums heraus. Als Beispiele dafür werden die Beziehungen zwischen Alkoholgebrauch und Gewalt gegen Personen sowie Strassenverkehrsunfälle gewählt.

  Title Estimating heroin epidemics with data of patients in methadone maintenance treatment, collected during a single treatment day Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Addiction Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 103 Issue 4 Pages 591-597  
  Keywords heroin; incidence; methadone; treatment and maintenance; prevalence; study; statistical data; Zurich (canton); Switzerland  
  Abstract AIMS: Effects of differing drug policies are difficult to evaluate, because time trends in the spread of heroin use, the most problematic illicit drug world-wide, are unknown in almost all countries. We aimed to develop a simple method to estimate these dynamics with data that can be gathered from patients in substitution treatment within a single day. DESIGN: We tested the assumption that being in substitution treatment on any day depends solely upon individual time since onset of regular heroin use (following a ’general inclusion function’). We used data from the case register for substitution treatments in the canton of Zurich (1992–2004), comprising 9518 patients, to model a ’general inclusion function’. Applying this function, we calculated 30 incidence curves for heroin dependence, each with data of one of 30 randomly chosen treatment days between 1992 and 2004. FINDINGS: Incidence modelling led to 30 similar curves, and therefore our hypothesis was corroborated. Additionally, our approach also revealed a restricted access to substitution treatment in the early 1990s and a decline in demand due to the introduction of heroin-assisted treatment from 1994 onwards. CONCLUSIONS: In the canton of Zurich, the probability of being in substitution treatment can be described by a ’general inclusion function’, and therefore dynamics of heroin epidemics can be estimated based on data of a single treatment day. Adaptation of our function to areas with a more restricted access to substitution treatment may permit these estimations also in other regions or countries. Thus, our approach facilitates the urgently needed assessment of the effects of different drug policies.
