Jacobi, I. (2010). Club Health Conference 2010 – Blick von aussen. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 5–6.
Abstract: Neue, synthetische Substanzen, die im Internet vertrieben werden, überschwemmen weltweit die Partyszene. Der Vormarsch der Reagenzdrogen verändert sowohl Produktionsbedingungen, Handelskanäle wie auch Konsumationsmuster und stellt neue grundsätzliche Herausforderungen an die Suchtprävention und die Drogenpolitik. Das ist eine der wichtigen Erkenntnisse der internationalen Club Health Konferenz in Zürich.

Thyssen, S. (2010). Research chemical selfreports on Erowid.org. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 30–33.
Abstract: With over 10 million visitors per year, Erowid.org’s reputation for providing reliable, non-judgmental information places it at a crossroads between the users of novel psychoactive drugs and public health efforts. In the last decade, the Erowid Experience Vaults have become a popular source of data about an increasing range of psychoactives. Advantages and disadvantages of these self-reports are discussed, with a focus on the challenges posed by the use of new stimulants, empathogens, cannabinoids, and psychedelics that are hard to control, insufficiently researched, and often of uncertain identity.

A recent evaluation of its highly varied services confirms that the target group can only be reached with a realistic, acceptance-based approach, and that drug-checking has an important role.

Silins, E., Bleeker, A. M., Copeland, J., Dillon, P., Devlin, K., van Bakkum, F., et al. (2010). The importance of peer educator qualities : as perceived by ecstasy users. SuchtMagazin, 36(5; 10/2010), 17–20.
Abstract: This study investigated the importance of peer educator qualities among ecstasy users in Australia (n=661) and the Netherlands (n=265). Experience with illicit drug use, an affinity with the ecstasy-using subculture and age emerged as important peer educator characteristics. In the Netherlands, more importance was placed on the peer educator having used illicit drugs and less importance was placed on age, subculture membership, being «cool» and gender than in Australia. The implications for peer-led ecstasy-related education practices are discussed.
