The self-regulation system in Australia does not protect children and youth from exposure to alcohol advertising, much of which contains elements appealing to these groups [Addiction Abstract, UK]
We, along with the more than 50 other scientists and health experts listed at http://alcopopstatement.orgfree.com who endorse and are signatories to this letter,13 will not seek or accept funding from DrinkWise. We call on other researchers and community agencies to consider their positions [Medical Journal of Australia]
We encourage government to explicitly disassociate itself from Drinkwise and similar bodies, and as a matter of policy to fund organisations with a public health ethos and no conflict of interest. In addition, universities, community organisations and researchers should signal their unwillingness to validate Drinkwise and other SAPROs [Drug & Alcohol Review article, Australia]
The aim of this study was to identify changes in patterns of alcohol consumption over a 20-year interval among older women and men, and to examine the associations between guideline-defined excessive drinking and late-life drinking problems [Addiction Abstract, UK]
The shift in the prevailing view of alcoholism from a moral paradigm towards a biomedical paradigm is often characterized as a form of biomedicalization. We will examine and critique three reasons offered for the claim that viewing alcoholism as a disease is morally problematic [Springerlink.com]
The importance of social relationships with other drug users within the adoption of injection drug use highlights the potential of social interventions to prevent injection initiation [SATPP, USA]
Stigma based on drug use and incarceration work to increase the needs of women for health and social services and at the same time, restricts their access to these services [Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy, USA]
The findings suggest the importance of 12-Step affiliation in maintaining long-term recovery, and help to understand the mechanism through which it works among adolescents [Addiction Abstract, UK]
In contrast to a previous study by Callaghan and colleagues, our findings largely support the TTM account of recovery from alcohol problems in treatment. The discrepancy can be explained by the use in our study of a more reliable and valid method for assigning stage of change [Addiction Abstract, UK]
Rigorous reviews of the science on the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) indicate that AA and related 12-step treatment are at least as helpful as other intervention approaches. Exactly how AA achieves these beneficial outcomes is less well understood [Addiction Research & Theory Abstract, UK]
An example of the commitment to that line of thinking includes the Journal Interview series in which Addiction invites distinguished researchers to give an account of their careers, and identify the shaping influences [Addiction Editorial, UK]
To attract, engage and retain people more successfully with addiction-related problems, addiction services and the interventions they use need to be more welcoming, attractive and focused broadly towards their clients’
actual needs [Addiction Editorial, UK]
Most of the evidence, however, comes from trials with regular behavioural support and monitoring and it is unclear whether using nicotine replacement therapy without regular contact would be as effective [British Medical Journal, UK]
