  Title Politique des drogues : un guide de l'IDPC Type Book Whole
  Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages v, 123  
  Keywords government and politics; program planning; laws and regulations; AOD public policy strategy; AOD use, abuse, and dependence; drug market; recommendations or guidelines; cooperation; international area  
  Abstract Les gouvernements sont confrontés à des défis de plus en plus complexes pour répondre aux problèmes liés aux marchés et à la consommation de drogues illégales sur leur territoire. Dans le monde entier, les responsables politiques commencent à se rendre compte que la « guerre contre la drogue » qui a été menée ces dernières années n’a pas réussi à éradiquer les cultures illégales ou à réduire l’ampleur des marchés de drogues et les niveaux de consommation. Les gouvernements doivent dorénavant développer une approche intégrée et équilibrée qui puisse, à la fois, endiguer les marchés de drogues illégales et minimiser les risques associés à la drogue. « Politiques des drogues: Un guide de l’IDPC » rassemble des preuves et exemples de bonne pratique sur les politiques relatives aux drogues illégales, et fournit des recommandations détaillées découlant de ces expériences, afin de guider les responsables politiques nationaux dans la révision de leurs politiques sur la drogue. Le guide est divisé en quatre sections: • Principes généraux • Justice pénale • Programmes sanitaires et sociaux • Renforcer les communautés Ce Guide a été publié en 2010, à la suite d’un travail de recherche et de consultation de notre réseau d’experts. Il sera actualisé régulièrement afin de refléter à tout moment les preuves et exemples de bonne pratique à travers le monde.

  Title Drogen, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis : Ein Handbuch Type Book Whole
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 308  
  Keywords addiction; AOD consumption; drug; drug consumption; drug decriminalization; harm reduction; HIV infection; Aids; hepatitis; methadone; Germany  
  Abstract Die Fortschritte in der akzeptierenden Drogenarbeit sichtbar machen und dazu ermutigen, noch nicht Erreichtes engagiert anzugehen – dazu will dieses Handbuch beitragen. Vieles ist heute selbstverständlich, was vor Jahrzehnten noch auf vehementen Widerstand stieß. Der Ansatz „Harm-Reduction“ ist fest im Drogenhilfesystem verankert und inzwischen zu einer erfolgreichen gesundheitspolitischen Strategie avanciert: nicht nur auf Bundesebene, sondern – als Bestandteil des Europäischen Drogenaktionsplans – ebenso auf EU-Ebene und schließlich auch weltweit: Der im Juni 2011 erschienene „Report of the Global Commission on Drug Policy“ unter der Leitung des ehemaligen brasilianischen Präsidenten Fernando Henrique Cardoso etwa betont, dass die frühe Einführung von Harm-Reduction-Maßnahmen und geringe HIV-Prävalenzen unmittelbar zusammenhängen. Für Deutschland trifft dies ganz besonders zu, wie die Daten des Robert Koch-Instituts vom Mai 2011 zeigen: Die Anteile der HIV-Erstdiagnosen bei Menschen mit dem Infektionsrisiko „intravenöser Drogenkonsum“ sind zwischen 2001 und 2010 kontinuierlich von 8 % auf 3,2 % zurückgegangen. Das sind günstige Voraussetzungen, um bei den politisch Verantwortlichen dringend nötige Verbesserungen im Arbeitsfeld „Drogen, HIV/Aids und Hepatitis“ einzufordern und auch in der eigenen Arbeit Vorstöße zu wagen, die bei Drogen gebrauchenden Menschen zu einem Mehr an Gesundheit beitragen. Allerdings wird immer deutlicher, dass die prohibitiv orientierte, auf Repression setzende Drogenpolitik selbst für erhebliche gesundheitliche und soziale Probleme gesorgt hat, was auf der Welt-Aids-Konferenz 2010 in Wien endlich einmal deutlich ausgesprochen wurde. In der dort verabschiedeten Deklaration heißt es, dass Drogenpolitik evidenzbasiert sein muss, statt moralisch und ideologisch geprägt zu sein. Hier ist eine umfassende strategische Neuorientierung erforderlich.

  Title Needle and syringe programs : a review of the evidence Type Book Whole
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 30  
  Keywords harm reduction; needle distribution and exchange; program evaluation; international area; Australia  
  Abstract This Review summarises the literature on the provision of sterile injecting equipment to people who inject drugs and other related issues. The proportion of the Australian population thought to inject drugs is about one percent or approximately 275,000 people. The first case of HIV infection in a drug injector without other risk factors in Australia was detected in 1985. In the following year, a Needle and Syringe Program started in Australia. At that time, hepatitis C infection was already well established among drug injectors with more than half being infected2. Staff at Needle and Syringe Programs provide much more than injecting equipment. They are often the first point of contact with health services for people who inject drugs, facilitating the entry of many drug users into drug treatment. Some Programs also provide primary medical care to this disadvantaged section of Australians whose health is usually very poor. Needle and Syringe Programs have reduced the transmission of HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The size of the reduction of HIV transmission due to Needle and Syringe Programs has been calculated to be at least 30 percent. Australia’s Needle and Syringe Programs were estimated to have prevented almost 3,000 cases of HIV infection in 1991 alone, a saving of $266 million. HIV epidemics have occurred recently in some cities in North America where Needle and Syringe Programs existed. Arbitrary restrictions on the number of needles and syringes provided from the Programs are thought to have been a critical weakness in their effectiveness in preventing transmission of blood borne viral infections. Research has shown that Needle and Syringe Programs do not increase injecting drug use or the number of discarded needles and syringes. Even though Needle and Syringe Programs enjoy a high level of support from the public in Australia and abroad, they also attract some criticism. Objections to Needle and Syringe Programs include: concern about specific locations, the inconsistency in providing some free injecting equipment to drug injectors but not to people with diabetes, concern that the Programs are responsible for all discarded injecting equipment in a local area and that the Programs condone drug use. Some members of the public are concerned that they may receive a needlestick injury from a discarded needle and syringe and then become infected with HIV or hepatitis. No cases of HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection resulting from a needlestick injury due to discarded injection equipment have been identified although researchers have investigated the outcomes of such injuries. There is abundant evidence from Australia and other countries of the public health benefits of Needle and Syringe Programs. The US Secretary for Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, has announced that: “This nation is fighting two deadly epidemics – AIDS and drug abuse. They are robbing us of far too many of our citizens and weakening our future. A meticulous scientific review has now proven that needle exchange programs can reduce the transmission of HIV and save lives without losing ground in the battle against illegal drugs. It offers communities that decide to pursue needle exchange programs yet another weapon in the fight against AIDS (20 April 1998)” Countries that have implemented these Programs have averted HIV epidemics among injecting drug users, while countries that have not implemented these measures have often experienced uncontrolled epidemics. There is strong evidence that if HIV becomes endemic among injecting drug users, HIV can then spread to their sexual partners and children resulting in high mortality rates and large social and economic costs to the entire population.

  Title Needle and syringe programs : a review of the evidence Type Book Whole
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 31  
  Keywords harm reduction; needle distribution and exchange; program evaluation; international area; Australia  
  Abstract This booklet summarises the literature on the provision of sterile needles and syringes to people who inject drugs and other related issues. The proportion of the Australian population thought to inject drugs is just under two percent, or approximately 313,500 people.1 The first case of HIV infection in a drug injector without other risk factors in Australia was detected in 1985. Needle and Syringe Programs started in Australia the following year. At that time, hepatitis C infection was already well established among drug injectors with more than half being infected.2 Workers at Needle and Syringe Programs do much more than just provide injecting equipment. They are often the first point of contact between health services and people who inject drugs. Needle and Syringe Program workers are able to provide education and information on healthcare issues and drug related harm and facilitate entry into drug treatment. Some Programs also provide primary medical care to this disadvantaged population who often have very poor health. Australian Governments invested $130 million in Needle and Syringe Programs between 1991 and 2000. This resulted in the prevention of an estimated 25,000 cases of HIV and 21,000 cases of hepatitis C among injecting drug users. The savings to the health system in avoided treatment costs over a lifetime are estimated to be between $2.4 and $7.7 billion.3 While Needle and Syringe Programs enjoy strong public support in Australia, there have from time to time been misunderstandings about their role. In the past, Needle and Syringe Programs have been accused of encouraging drug use and increasing the number of inappropriately discarded needles and syringes in public places. However, Australian and international studies have shown that neither of these concerns are supported by impressive evidence. Research has shown that Needle and Syringe Programs do not increase injecting drug use. This could be attributed to the ability of health workers to offer health information, drug education and referral into treatment. Some members of the public have also raised concerns about inappropriately discarded needles and syringes and the possibility of contracting HIV or hepatitis C from a discarded used needle. The chance of a member of the public contracting either HIV or hepatitis C from a discarded used needle is extremely low. Worldwide, there has never been a reported case of a member of the public contracting HIV in this way. Countries where Needle and Syringe Programs have been implemented have averted HIV epidemics among injecting drug users, while countries that have not implemented these measures have often experienced uncontrolled epidemics. There is strong evidence that if HIV becomes endemic among injecting drug users it can then spread to their sexual partners and children resulting in high mortality rates and large social and economic costs to the entire community. There is abundant evidence from Australia and international research of the substantial public health benefits of Needle and Syringe Programs. The Australian Medical Association supports Needle and Syringe Programs as one of a number of measures which prevent the spread of HIV and other blood borne diseases.
