Addiction Info Suisse (Ed.). (2011). Alcool. Focus. Lausanne: Addiction Info Suisse.
Abstract: L’alcool est une substance banale, qui est consommée et appréciée en Suisse par beaucoup de gens, mais qui cause aussi des maladies, des accidents et de la souffrance pour beaucoup d’autres. Cette coexistence ambiguë entre le plaisir et le danger marque nos relations avec cette substance psychoactive qu’est l’alcool. Parmi toutes les boissons alcooliques, qui boit quoi et combien? Comment l’alcool agit-il dans le corps, quels sont les risques sanitaires et les problèmes sociaux pouvant résulter de sa consommation? Que peut faire la prévention?

European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. (2013). Drug policy profiles : Ireland. Drug policy profiles. Lisbon: Publications Office of the European Union.
Abstract: The national drug policy of Ireland comes under the spotlight in the second volume in the EMCDDA series of Drug policy profiles. Examining the evolution of Irish drug policy through four periods of historic development, the report explores: the country’s national strategies; the legal context within which they operate; the public funds spent, or committed, to implement them; and the political bodies and mechanisms set up to coordinate the response to the problem. The profile sets this information in context by outlining the size, wealth and economic situation of the country as a whole, as well as the historical development of the current policy. Also described is the manner in which events in Ireland bear similarities with, and differences from, developments in other European countries.
Keywords: history; AOD public policy strategy; drug offense; law; drug legalization; evaluation; Ireland

European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. (2011). Drug policy profiles : Portugal. Drug policy profiles. Lisbon: Publications Office of the European Union.
Abstract: The EMCDDA Drug policy profiles aim to describe some of the main characteristics of national drug policies in Europe and beyond. The profiles do not attempt to assess these policies, but instead outline their development and main features. The objective is to help readers — from researchers to policymakers — gain a better understanding of the way in which countries control drugs and respond to drug-related security, social and health problems. This first profile describes the national drug policy of Portugal, a policy that has attracted significant attention recently in the media and in policy debates. It considers national strategies and action plans, the legal context within which they operate and the public funds spent, or committed, to resource them. It also describes the political bodies and mechanisms set up to coordinate the response to the multi-faceted problem and the systems of evaluation that may help to improve future policy.

European Monitoring Centre for Drugs & Drug Addiction. (2009). EMCDDA Conference proceedings : identifying Europe's information needs for effective drug policy. Conference proceedings. Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union.
Abstract: The conference Identifying Europe’s information needs for effective drug policy marked the 15th anniversary of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), and our activity of monitoring drugs and drug addiction in the European Union. It had several objectives: to better understand the current needs of policymakers, practitioners and researchers, to identify new developments in the drugs field and new results of drug-related research, and to provide input on the future work of the EMCDDA and its partners. This publication summarises the presentations and discussions from the plenary and parallel sessions. It reflects the dynamism and commitment of those who study and respond to the drugs problem, and who made the conference such a productive, stimulating and successful event. The content of this publication will therefore be a vital tool for guiding the further development of our activities here in Lisbon.
