Title How to assess craving for alcohol Type Journal Article
Year 1997 Publication European addiction research Abbreviated Journal
Volume 3 Issue Pages 110-115
Keywords addiction; AOD dependence; chemical addiction; alcohol; assessment; behavioral and mental disorder
Abstract In the recent years several drugs with an anticraving effect have been developed. These drugs should reduce the urge to drink alcohol. In the near future some of these drugs with different pharmacological profiles will be introduced to several European countries. That’s why a critical review of the psychobiological concept craving is necessary. Although widely used craving is an illdefined term. Craving has been associated with different psychological concepts that are mostly based on behavorial theories. Furthermore, some biochemical findings probably associated with craving are reviewed. However, thus far the assessment of craving is based on self-reports, since it is a subjective cognition like pain. The magnitude of craving depends on situational factors, varying with time and place. Thus, a sufficient assessment has to include the conditions and expectancies occurring together with craving.

Volume Issue 3; 08/2006 Pages 64-71
Keywords AOD consumption; AOD associated consequences; drug consumption; policy recommendations; political process; Switzerland
Abstract Neuere Entwicklungen in der Epidemiologie und duchtpolitische Probleme im internationalen Umfeld bilden Herausforderugen für eine künftige schweizerische Suchtpolitik und für das System der Suchthilfe. Epidemiologisch sind es die Zunahme von Suchproblemen vor dem Hintergrund ungleicher Lebensperspektiven und Entwicklllngmölichkeiten. Mehrfachkonsum und Mehrfachahhängigkeit auf der Basis eines globalisierten Angebots und die Selbstverständlichkeit (“Normalisierung”) mit welcher vom Angebot Gebrauch gemacht wird. Auf Seiten der Politik sehen wir gegenläufige Tendenzen in manchen Bereichen. ein Auseinanderklaffen von Politik, Forschung und Praxis und ungelöste Probleme einer konsistenten Umsetzung von drängenden Fragen der Forschung und von Forschungsresultaten in eine effektive und kosteneffektive Praxis. Angesichts dieser Lage wird sich die Schweiz einer Reihe von offenen FrageIl stellen müssen.

Title Dépistage de consommations problématiques d'alcool dans la population suisse: comparaison entre un instrument développé par l'ISPA et le questionnaire CAGE Type Journal Article
Year 1997 Publication Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift = Journal suisse de médecine Abbreviated Journal
Volume 127 Issue 18 Pages 753-761
Keywords AOD consumption; AOD abuse; screening and diagnostic method for AOD use; alcohol; statistical data; Switzerland; study
Abstract En 1987, l’Institut suisse de prévention de l’alcoolisme et autres toxicomanies (ISPA) a développé une série de questions relatives aux problèmes d’alcool au sein de la population générale. Le but principal de cet article est d’étudier le comportement de ce questionnaire comme instrument de dépistage de consommations problématiques _dans la population helvétique en le comparant au CAGE. L’étude porte sur 953 personnes de 20 ans et plus. Parmi les buveurs, le test ISPA est positif pour 91 hommes (21,7%) et 34 femmes (8,70/0) et le CAGE pour 53 hommes (12,70/0) et 17 femmes (4,3%). Mieux que le CAGE, le test ISPA permet de dépister les buveurs problématiques consommant régulièrement de façon soutenue, mais sans excès ponctuels. La question “eyeopener” du CAGE s’avère trop abrupte pour la population générale suisse et pourrait être supprimée. Les femmes nient beaucoup plus leurs problèmes d’alcool que les hommes. Une consommation occasionnellement excessive augmente le risque d’avoir un test positif. En conclusion, dans la population suisse, le test ISPA est plus adapté à l’évaluation du nombre de consommateurs problématiques que le CAGE, développé pour être utilisé par le milieu médical américain. De plus, les résultats suggèrent l’utilisation de seuils critiques différents pour chaque sexe.

Title Researching self help drug treatment : collaboration and conflict in the age of harm reduction Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication Addiction Abbreviated Journal
Volume 89 Issue Pages 151-156
Keywords AOD use, abuse, and dependence; drug; drug consumption; treatment and maintenance; self-help group; harm reduction; Australia
Abstract While there is evidence supporting the effectiveness of drug treatment in self help groups there are many points of divergence between the philosophies traditionally espoused by these groups and those advocated within hann reduction policies. In this paper we examine some of the differences between self help and hann reduction approaches. We argue that (in common with other treatment modalities) self help groups have altered and developed in response to changing community expectations and that this process should be expected to continue. We report on our ongoing exploration of research partnerships with self help group members focusing particularly upon research conducted in collaboration with self help groups in Victoria. We argue that research partnerships have advantages for both parties. These partnerships have the potential to better inform researchers of developments in the self help community (including the practices of active drug users). Research partnerships also encourage better understanding among self help group members of some of the potential problems that, as research has indicated, may be associated with certain self help group practices. We advocate such understanding as a potentially effective means of encouraging the appropriate development and refinement of self help group practices in line with harm reduction principals .

Title Crack cocaine use : a review of prevalence and adverse effects Type Journal Article
Year 1991 Publication The American journal of drug and alcocol abuse Abbreviated Journal
Volume 17 Issue 1 Pages 13-26
Keywords AOD use, abuse, and dependence; aod abuse; adverse drug effect; crack cocaine; prevalence; study
Abstract Crack is a potent form of cocajne which results in rapid and striking stimulant effects when smoked. This paper reviews epidemiological research on the extent of use as well as reports of adverse effects. Crack is used b a small minority of adult and student populations but by a larger proportion of cocaine users and .heavy drug-using groups. Use does not appear to be increase in general popuations, but there are no trend studies for high-risk groups. Crack users tend to be young, heavy polydrug users, many of whom have serious drug abus problems. The adverse reactions to crack are similar to those of cocaine and include effects on offstpring, neurological and psychiatric problems, as well as pulmonary and cardiac abnormalities. However, two adverse reactions unique to crack have been reported. One relates to lung infiltrates and bronchospasm. The other involves neurological symptoms among children living in crack smoked-filled rooms. There is a need for improved treatment and preventive programs for crack use.

Title Efficacy of clonidine, guanfacine and methadone in the rapid detoxification of heroin addicts : a controlled clinical trial Type Journal Article
Year 1990 Publication British journal of addiction Abbreviated Journal
Volume 85 Issue 1; 01/1990 Pages 141-147
Keywords treatment and maintenance; inpatient care; detoxification; heroin; clonidine; guanfacine; methadone
Abstract The efficacy of clonidine, methadone, and guanfacine in rapid detoxification of heroin inpatients was assessed in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Signs and symptoms of abstinence and of side effects were analysed in 90 heroin addicts successfully completing a 12–day inpatient trial, all patients fit DSM-III criteria for opioid dependence, the age range being 18 to 36 years. All three drugs were effective in controlling abstinence; however, the course of abstinence was different in the methadone group as compared to the adrenergic agonists, the latter showing limitations in their ability to suppress withdrawal manifestations. While mean number of withdrawal signs and symptoms was significantly tower during days 2 to 5 in the methadone group (p < 0.01), adrenergic agonists were slightly more effective at the end of the trial. Incidence of side effects was closely related to the dose administered. Hypotensive action of adrenergic agonists was more marked in orthostatic position. The present results suggest that methadone is superior to adrenergic agonists. Between these drugs clonidine appears to be less effective than guanfacine in controlling some withdrawal manifestations, and causes more side effects, mainly of cardiovascular nature.

Der dabei aufsteigende Dampf wird mit einem Röhrchen inhaliert. Um Heroin verflüssigen zu können, müssen also Natriumbikarbonat oder andere alkalische Stoffe beigefügt werden, was entweder durch den Folienraucher selber geschieht oder bereits durch den Verkäufer.
