Title (up) A review of recent advances in knowledge about methadone maintenance treatment Type Report
Year 2001 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages xvi, 101
Keywords treatment and maintenance; methadone maintenance; drug substitution therapy; AODD treatment method; pregnancy; HIV infection; tuberculosis; general practitioner; drug dependent; special populations; literature review
Abstract This report, which provides a knowledge base for the development of methadone maintenance treatment clinical guidelines in Switzerland, reviews the world-wide literature (except for Switzerland, which is the subject of a separate investigation) on such treatment and existing guidelines. Articles on methadone maintenance treatment and concurring treatment modalities are discussed in detail, as well as existing knowledge about specific populations, such as pregnant addicts and addicts with HIV or tuberculosis. Research on prognostic factors to patients’ responses to treatment and perceptions of opiate dependent persons are also reviewed to ascertain their value to practitioners in managing methadone maintenance treatment and in assessing the best possible treatment. A final chapter describes other substitution treatments in comparison to methadone maintenance and synthesizes the information of the review into a structured information source for thinking about guideline development.

Title (up) A review of the evidence-base for harm reduction approaches to drug use Type Report
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 79
Keywords harm reduction; health and disease; risk; AOD use, abuse, and dependence; HIV infection; Aids; viral hepatitis; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; AOD overdose; AOD use and driving; AODR crime; AODR violence; needle distribution and exchange; prison; sex worker; treatment and maintenance; drug substitution therapy; heroin-assisted treatment; cost (economic); cost-effectiveness; education; injection room; motivational interviewing; physical and chemical analysis and measurement; international area
Abstract This document, from Forward Thinking on Drugs, details the theory and practice of harm reduction and evaluates its effectiveness. The first section of the document outlines what harm reduction is, including its main principles, and addresses key criticisms. The second section of the document outlines key harm reduction interventions, including: needle and syringe programmes; methadone and other replacement therapies; depenalisation; information, education and communication; safer injecting and other drug consumption rooms; and motivational interviewing. The paper outlines three key findings from the evidence. Firstly, harm reduction works, especially methadone and other replacement therapies, and needle and syringe programmes. The author argues that these should be considered for adoption in regions where they are currently unavailable. Secondly, harm reduction programmes show promise and require cautious, monitored, and locally adapted expansion. Finally, the author finds that harm reduction interventions are widely used yet under-researched, especially those which include information, education and communication programmes, and motivational interviewing approaches to conventional harm reduction targets such as HIV prevention. The author concludes that the best response is to develop better evidence in order to discard approaches that do not work and develop and disseminate those that do.

Title (up) A vision of the future in which “not smoking is the norm” needs a long-term perspective and strong political support Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication Spectra : prevention and health promotion Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue 66; 12/2007 Pages 2
Keywords tobacco in any form; prevention; program evaluation; advertising; Switzerland
Abstract Evaluation of the National Tobacco Prevention Programme. The National Tobacco Prevention Programme (NPTP) 2001– 2005/08 has been successful overall, especially in promoting «not smoking» as the social norm. This is the main conclusion drawn by the evaluation of the programme. The evaluators recommend the long-term continuation of this kind of tobacco prevention programme with a broad range of action. In the next phase the issue of advertising should be addressed and the WHO tobacco convention ratified. At all events, the tobacco programme needs strong leadership and broad support.
