Title Women's voices : experiences and perceptions of women who face drug-related problems in Europe Type Report
Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 24
Keywords gender; woman; gender differences; AOD use; prevalence; AODR mortality; research; Europe; report
Abstract Epidemiological studies routinely collect quantitative data on gender differences in drug use (e.g. prevalence, mortality), but far less is published on the qualitative aspects of female drug problems. This review presents quotations gleaned from interviews with women in eight countries. Through these testimonies, the report illustrates how qualitative research can provide glimpses into the experiences and perceptions of women facing drug issues that statistics alone cannot provide.

Title Evidence for the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm Type Report
Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages viii, 127
Keywords prevention; alcohol abuse; harm reduction; cost-benefit analysis; public policy on health; health promotion
Abstract There is a substantial evidence base on the effectiveness of different policies in reducing the harm done by alcohol. Policies that regulate the economic and physical availability of alcohol are effective in reducing alcohol-related harm. Enforced legislative measures to reduce drinking and driving and interventions individually directed to drinkers already at risk are also effective. The evidence shows that information and education programmes do not reduce alcohol-related harm; nevertheless, they have a role in providing information, reframing alcohol-related problems and increasing attention to alcohol on the political and public agendas. In all parts of the European Union, population-based interventions represent a highly cost– effective use of resources to reduce alcohol-related harm. Brief interventions for individual high-risk drinkers are also cost–effective, but are harder to scale up because of their associated training and manpower needs.

Title Children's voices : experiences and perceptions of European children on drug and alcohol issues Type Report
Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 38
Keywords addiction; AOD dependence; chemical addiction; AOD use; statistical data; child; parent; family; foster care; AOD consumption; intervention (persuasion to treatment); Europe
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to give meaning and insight into some of the key drug and alcohol issues that affect children from the perspectives of the children themselves. It is not to estimate the relative magnitude of a specific drug or alcohol problem or the numbers of children affected by it. Each section of this paper is preceded by one or two key statistics and whilst the quotations that follow may highlight a need to develop more robust and detailed statistics on a key issue, the overriding objective is to give the children a voice.

Title Trends in injecting drug use in Europe Type Report
Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 22
Keywords intravenous injection; addiction; AOD dependence; chemical addiction; treatment and maintenance; patient; prevalence; risk-taking behavior; AOD effects and consequences; target group; intravenous drug user; drug substitution therapy; harm reduction; needle distribution and exchange; intervention (persuasion to treatment); route of administration by method or body site; history; Europe
Abstract Trends in injecting drug use in Europe is the title of the latest EMCDDA Selected issue publication. This volume brings together data from a wide variety of sources as it describes Europe’s current drug injecting problem and plots its trends in recent years. Responses to drug injecting and measures to reduce the harm caused by this form of drug use are also reviewed. The report finds that the available data point to a stable or declining trend of injecting in most European countries, with effective treatment and harm-reduction measures now reaching many users. Despite this, there is still a large population of drug injectors in Europe, and there continue to be signs of recent recruitment in some countries.

Title Travel and drug use in Europe : a short review Type Report
Year 2012 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 24
Keywords AOD use; AOD associated consequences; public AOD use; drug market; Europe
Abstract Recent decades have seen a growth in travel and tourism abroad because of cheap air fares and holiday packages. This has been accompanied by a relaxation of border controls, especially within parts of Europe participating in the Schengen Agreement. As some people may be more inclined to use illicit substances during holiday periods and some may even choose to travel to destinations that are associated with drug use – a phenomenon sometimes referred to as “drug tourism” – this means that from a European drug policy perspective the issue of drug use and travel has become more important.
