Scoping review of the characteristics and implementation of routine outcome monitoring and feedback for adults and young people accessing alcohol and other drug use treatment
Efforts to examine how best to generate, present and use feedback to inform AOD treatment are needed. Optimising the use of feedback across treatment settings will require examination of the interplay between feedback characteristics and clinician, client and contextual variables. Improved attention to idiographic outcomes, benchmarks, diversity considerations, health literacy, treatment context, training, fidelity and the reporting of evaluation…

Assessing the Early Impact of the Change in the Kava Importation Policy in Australia
The Australian Government launched the kava pilot program to ease import regulations on kava, aiming to strengthen cultural and economic ties between Australia and Pacific Island countries. Implemented in two phases, personal importation in 2019 and commercial importation in 2021, the program was accompanied by a concurrent evaluation. The evaluation examined the health, social, cultural and economic impacts of the pilot program on the Australian…
Changes in the rates and characteristics of gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB)‐related death in Australia, 2001–2023
The impact of a voluntary alcohol and other drug diversion program on reoffending, imprisonment, and health
Survival times for participants in the MERIT program were significantly shorter for all health outcomes except one (death). At the 12-month mark, MERIT participants offended 21 per cent less frequently than comparison group participants (IRR: 0.793. CI: 0.748-0.841). This gap increased to 27 per cent after 24 months (IRR: 0.870. CI: 0.829-0.912). At the conclusion of criminal proceedings participants in the MERIT program were significantly less l…

An invaluable resource for staff and students in literary studies and Australian studies, this volume is the first major critical survey on Australian poetry. It investigates poetry's central role in engaging with issues of colonialism, nationalism, war and crisis, diaspora, gender and sexuality, and the environment. Individual chapters examine Aboriginal writing and the archive, poetry and activism, print culture, and practices of internationall…
Emergence of deaths due to nitazene toxicity in Australia
Nitazenes are highly potent opioids, classed as new psychoactive substances (NPS), that were never registered for clinical use due to concerns regarding their toxicity. As with all opioids, the main mechanism of toxicity is respiratory depression. In recent years, there have been reports from Australia and elsewhere of hospitalisations for nitazene toxicity [1]. To date, no study has examined deaths due to nitazene toxicity in Australia. To exami…
Enhancing the Sustainable uptake of evidence to minimise harms from alcohol and other drugs in New South Wales, Australia
Although alcohol and other drug use is increasingly the focus of policy and research efforts, there are challenges identifying and applying evidence‐based strategies to minimise harms for alcohol and other drugs in health care and community settings. These challenges include limited available research, variability across settings, and lack of ‘fit’ between research evidence and their intended settings. In this commentary, we describe a novel appr…

Parental Support and Control as Predictors of Adolescent Drinking, Delinquency, and Related Problem Behaviors
Grace M. Barnes, Michael P. Farrell, Parental Support and Control as Predictors of Adolescent Drinking, Delinquency, and Related Problem Behaviors, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 54, No. 4 (Nov., 1992), pp. 763-776
Effects of Parental Monitoring and Peer Deviance on Substance Use and Delinquency
From socialization theory, it was hypothesized that parental support and monitoring as well as peer deviance would influence individual trajectories of alcohol misuse, other substance use, and delinquency. Six waves of data were analyzed using interviews with 506 adolescents in a general population sample. Results from multilevel modeling showed that monitoring significantly predicted adolescents' initial levels (intercepts) of alcohol misuse and…
The Effects of Parenting on the Development of Adolescent Alcohol Misuse
Alcohol use increases throughout adolescence. Based on family socialization theory, it was hypothesized that family factors, particularly parental support and monitoring, would influence individual trajectories in the development of alcohol misuse. Six waves of data were analyzed, based on interviews with 506 adolescents in the general population of a northeastern metropolitan area. Using growth-curve longitudinal analysis, results show that pare…

Athletic Participation and Sexual Behavior in Adolescents
Using multivariate analysis of covariance to test hypotheses about the effects of sports and sexual behavior on a sample of 611 Western New York adolescents, this study concludes that athletic participation and gender interact to influence adolescent sexual outcomes. Female athletes report significantly lower rates of sexual activity than female nonathletes; male athletes report slightly (though not significantly) higher rates than male nonathlet…
Parental Socialization Factors and Adolescent Drinking Behaviors
From family socialization theory, it is hypothesized in this study that parents, as models and as agents of socialization, influence the development of various types of drinking behaviors in their children. In-home interviews were conducted with a representative general population sample of adolescents from 12 to 17 years old and their mothers and fathers. The findings revealed that adolescent drinking can be explained in part by parental models …
Lesbian Motherhood
The identity of lesbian-mother combines a marginalized identity (lesbian) with one of the most revered mainstream identities (mother). With data collected through exploratory in-depth interviews from nine lesbian-mothers, the authors use symbolic interaction framework to explore the strategies that lesbian birth mothers and comothers employ to gain acceptance for their marginal-mainstream identities in their family networks. Respondents experienc…

Family Influences on Alcohol Abuse and Other Problem Behaviors Among Black and White Adolescents in a General Population Sample
There is a lack of systematic research on family influences on the development of drinking patterns of Black and White adolescents. These issues are examined in an ongoing longitudinal study using a representative household sample of 699 adolescents, ages 13 to 16 at Time 1, as well as their parents, in metropolitan Buffalo, New York. Black families were oversampled, yielding data on 210 Black adolescents and their parents. Although Black familie…
Untangling the Links among Athletic Involvement, Gender, Race, and Adolescent Academic Outcomes
Although previous research has established that high school sports participation may be associated with positive academic outcomes, the parameters of the relationship remain unclear. Using a longitudinal sample of nearly 600 Western New York adolescents, this study examined gender- and race-specific differences in the impact of two dimensions of adolescent athletic involvement ("jock" identity and athlete status) on changes in school grades and s…
Sports, Sexual Behavior, Contraceptive Use, and Pregnancy among Female and Male High School Students
In this paper, we examine the relationships among athletic participation and sexual behavior, contraceptive use, and pregnancy in female and male high school students. Analyses of covariance and multiple analyses of covariance were performed on a nationally representative sample of 8,979 high school students (the 1995 Youth Risk Behavior Survey). After controlling for race and ethnicity, age, and mother’s education, girls who participated in spor…

Athletic Involvement and Adolescent Delinquency
The logic of transnational outbidding
The phenomenon of outbidding, in which terrorist groups escalate their attacks in response to competition from other groups, has long been studied in a domestic terrorism context. If groups exist in the same state, they may compete with one another for the same resources from civilians of that state. This article argues this outbidding logic also exists in a transnational context. Leveraging a sample of Salafi-jihadist groups that are in competit…
Gender/Racial Differences in Jock Identity, Dating, and Adolescent Sexual Risk
Family Cohesion as a Buffer Against the Effects of Problem-Drinking Fathers on Psychological Distress, Deviant Behavior, and Heavy Drinking in Adolescents
In this paper we examine the degree to which family cohesion buffers the effects of fathers' problem drinking at Time 1 (T1) on adolescent distress, deviance, and heavy drinking at Time 2 (T2), one year later. Data from a representative sample of 658 families were used to test the hypotheses. Mothers, fathers (if present), and adolescent children were interviewed in the home. Fathers who were present completed self-report scales measuring problem…
Gender and Racial/Ethnic Differences in Predicting Adolescent Sexual Risk
Though often conflated, informal physical exercise and organized athletic participation have very different implications for adolescent sexual risk outcomes. The purpose of this research is to disaggregate strenuous exercise from sports, examine how each is associated with sexual risk, and explain the observed differences using the conceptual lens of cultural resource theory. Using a nationally representative sample of over 16,000 public and priv…
Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use and other Adolescent Problem Behaviors
Based on a national sample of over 16,000 public and private high school students (the 1997 Youth Risk Behavior Survey), we used logistic regression analysis to examine relationships among anabolicandrogenic steroid use and other problem behaviors for female and male athletes and nonathletes. After controlling for age, race/ethnicity, parental educational attainment, urbanicity, and recent exercise, users had significantly greater odds of engagin…
Race, Class, and Gender Differences in Substance Abuse
In this study differences in alcohol and illicit drug use were examined in relation to Wilson's theory of class polarization within the black population. With data from a large representative sample of the adult population in New York State, regression analysis showed that the relationship between socioeconomic status and substance abuse is stronger for black males than for any other group. These findings are consistent with Wilson's (1987) theor…
High School Athletic Participation and Adolescent Suicide
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among US adolescents aged 15-24, with males incurring higher rates of completion than females. This study used hierarchical logistic regression analysis to test whether athletic participation was associated with lower rates of suicidal ideation and behavior among a nationally representative sample of over 16,000 US public and private high school students. Net of the effects of age, race/ethnicity, paren…

The Social, Material, and Temporal Effects of Monthly Extended-Release Buprenorphine Depot Treatment for Opioid Dependence
Aims: This study examined the social, material and temporal effects of extended-release buprenorphine depot treatment (BUP-XR), among a group of participants commencing BUP-XR in Australia, and considered the situated potentials of these new opioid agonist treatment technologies. Methods: Using a longitudinal qualitative design, 36 participants (25 men, 11 women; mean age 44 years) were interviewed, with 32 followed-up, to generate accounts of BU…
Ethnic Differences in the Effects of Intergenerational Relations on Adolescent Problem Behavior in U.S. Single-Mother Families
This study examines whether the effects of single-mother families (SMFs) on adolescent problem behavior are buffered by supportive mothering and the involvement of nonresident fathers and whether the effectiveness of these two buffers varies by ethnicity. Based on the data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors find that supportive mothering within SMFs buffers their effects for most groups. Compared to other ethni…

The Subculture of Serious Artists in a Maximum Security Prison
This article presents findings from an ethnographic study of the art world of "serious artists" in a maximum security prison. The study is based on extensive interviews with inmate-artists and guards, both alone and in groups, and direct observation of the settings in which inmates "do art." We find that "serious artists" are disproportionately older, white, long-term prisoners who adopt a strategy of withdrawal into a network of friends to escap…

In‐patient psychiatric care
Little attention has been paid to psychiatric patients' views on their treatment in the medical literature. We carried out a consumer survey of 99 in‐patients at an inner London psychiatric hospital. Patients were asked to rate 10 non‐treatment and treatment items. Most highly regarded was being free to leave the ward. Of the treatment items, talking to a member of staff was found to be most helpful. The relationships between different items and …

Fatal methadone and heroin overdoses
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Although the total number of self poisonings in England and Wales has dropped by 32%, the number involving methadone and/or heroin rose by 900% in 1974-92. Because of concern about the role of methadone in this increase, the part played by methadone and heroin in poisoning deaths in England and Wales in 1974-92 was investigated. DESIGN: A proportional mortality design was used to study whether the ratio between deaths involving m…
