Current Issue

July 2024, Volume 43, Issue 5

The July 2024 issue (43:5) features the special section ‘In memory of an activist: Contributions celebrating the life of Jude Byrne’. This includes an editorial and papers that discuss: enriching qualitative alcohol and other drug research by engaging lived experience peer researchers in a dual-interview approach; engaging families and parent advocates in research on substance use and drug policy reform; towards structural indicators of community-based participatory action research; the gendered violence of injecting-related stigma among relatively affluent, suburban women who inject drugs; experiences of stigma and subsequent reduced access to health care among women who inject drugs; factors associated with hepatitis C treatment uptake among females of childbearing age in New South Wales; increasing linkage to hepatitis C care following trauma-informed rehabilitation; information acquisition and dissemination among a sample of people who inject drugs in Australia; and a reflection on improving the lives of people who use and inject drugs.

Other research in this issue covers a range of topics, with research from Australia on using nicotine products for smoking cessation after discharge from residential drug and alcohol treatment; where high-risk drinking occasions occur more oftenthe absence of mandatory pregnancy warning labels in online alcohol purchasing contexts; prevalence and factors associated with polydrug use among clients seeking treatment for alcohol misuse; alcohol screening in 22 Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations; micro-elimination of chronic hepatitis C virus in mental health settings; the ‘missing’ in the ‘endgame’ of hepatitis C elimination; stigma, and factors associated with experiencing stigma, while visiting health-care services among samples of people who use illegal drugs; a qualitative investigation of the factors influencing Australian health-care practitioners' delivery of medicinal cannabis; stocking and supplying naloxone; and the reflections of health service providers on implementing contingency management for methamphetamine use disorder.

Research from overseas includes a longitudinal investigation of New Zealand adults on psychological predictors of vaping uptake among non-smokers; opioid use, prescribing and fatal overdose patterns among racial/ethnic minorities in the United States; a population study in Great Britain on trends in purchasing cross-border, illicit and home-brewed alcohol; pharmacological treatments for alcohol dependence; effectiveness of web-based personalised feedback interventions for reducing alcohol consumption among university students; understanding the alcohol treatment landscape and needs among unstably housed people who use alcohol; and cannabidiol use in France in 2022.

This issue also features an obituary in memory of Kyp Kypri.

Call for Papers

CallForPapers DAR 300x250
 
Are you conducting research on novel synthetic opioids? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Drug and Alcohol Review are calling for expressions of interest (EOI) for papers to be included in a Special Issue on “Understanding the emergence and impact of novel synthetic opioids and how to reduce associated harms”.  Our aim is that this Special Issue will provide empirical evidence on the following for novel synthetic opioids (e.g., fentanyl analogues, nitazenes):
  • Emergence of substances;
  • Market characteristics;
  • Patterns of use and broader contexts and drivers of use;
  • Harms from use; and
  • Individual and population-level strategies to reduce harms.
The EOIs are expected to be no more than 1-2 pages and are due by 12 August 2024, with outcomes advised within four weeks. If your EOI is accepted, papers will need to be submitted by 25 November 2024, and will undergo the usual peer review process.

Best way forward for services seeking to reduce substance related harm among young people

   

 

 

 

Although almost 40% of all people receiving alcohol and other drug treatment in Australia are aged less than 30 years [1], there is a substantial lack of understanding of how to support and care for young people with alcohol and other drug problems, with the number of adolescent treatment outcome studies overshadowed by those devoted to adults [2]. Few rigorous evaluations of interventions and best-practice frameworks exist, and research into how best to engage young people effectively and sensitively is limited [2]. We do know, however, that young people use drugs differently than adults and have distinct treatment requirements [3]. As such, adult alcohol and other drug interventions should not be transplanted into a youth service and expected to work [4].


Although many health services have moved to youth-centred service models to improve engagement with young people [5], implementing youth-friendly healthcare within adult-orientated health spaces remains a challenge. Hospital-based services are consistently found to be less effective in engaging young people [4] and less able to respond effectively to young people with multiple disadvantages compared to community-based interventions [6,7].


In a recent paper in Drug and Alcohol Review, ‘Time to reconsider the best practice models of substance use care for young people’ [8], my colleagues and I put forward several strategies to enhance the benefits young people can gain from engagement with AOD services. These include:

  1. Addressing socio-structural determinants of health;
  2. Youth-friendly, flexible treatment services and proactive engagement with young people;
  3. Improving the culture of existing mainstream services;
  4. Addressing service gaps and improved access to evidence-based treatment;
  5. Better service linkage and active collaborative care models;
  6. Integrated, local services and community-based approaches; and
  7. Preventative care and harm reduction services for young people.

Young people benefit from a flexible and holistic treatment system able to account for the unique conditions of their lives. Taking account of and adapting to young people’s realities, priorities and circumstances increases the likelihood that the engagement will be beneficial, relevant and aligned with the meaning they themselves ascribe to their drug use. This involves broadening the range of treatment options to include offerings more aligned with the priorities and goals that young people have and promoting positive community connections and opportunities for meaningful and active participation. This involves seeing young people not as passive recipients of services, but as equal partners and active participants in a change process aimed more broadly at the flourishing of young people. Such an approach has capacity to minimise substance-related health, social and economic harms for young people, their families and communities.
