Dutch experiences in new partnerships between science and practice in health promotion
For a long time already, attempts have been made to bridge the gap between research and practice. In this respect, society demands that universities should have a bigger social impact. University and society/societal organizations should work together (co-create) during the entire research process, from the articulation of the research question until the implementation of the results. There is controversy about the question whether it is possible…
Comparing stigmatising attitudes towards people with substance use disorders between the general public, GPs, mental health and addiction specialists and clients
BACKGROUND: Substance use disorders (SUDs) are among the most severely stigmatised conditions; however, little is known about the nature of these stigmatising attitudes. AIMS: To assess and compare stigmatising attitudes towards persons with SUDs among different stakeholders: general public, general practitioners (GPs), mental health and addiction specialists, and clients in treatment for substance abuse. METHODS: Cross-sectional study (N = 3,326…
Experienced and anticipated discrimination reported by individuals in treatment for substance use disorders within the Netherlands
Experiences and expectations of discrimination (anticipated discrimination) may delay treatment seeking among people with substance use disorders. In addition, experienced and anticipated discrimination can be a barrier to successful recovery and rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to study the level of experienced and anticipated (the expectation to be rejected) discrimination among individuals in treatment for substance use disorders as w…
Effects of interferential care
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Interferential care differs from the current community-based care programs in that it targets a larger, heterogeneous group and combines brokerage and full service elements in a multi-organizational care team. The team provides all the services itself, but with the aim to prepare clients within a few months for referral to regular (ambulant) healthcare services. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of interfe…
Alcohol segment-specific associations between the quality of the parent–child relationship and adolescent alcohol use
The quality of the parent-child relationship seemed to be most strongly associated with life-time alcohol use, suggesting that parents appear to play the most important role in the prevention of alcohol use. Moreover, the results showed segment-specific associations between the quality of the parent-child relationship and binge drinking, indicating that the role of parents in heavy drinking is different for the various segments
Predicting Initial Client Engagement with Community Mental Health Services by Routinely Measured Data
Engagement is a determinant of how well a person will respond to professional input. This study investigates whether, in practice, routinely measured data predict initial client engagement with community mental health services. Engagement, problem severity, client characteristics, and duration before the first contact were measured at team entrance with clients (n = 529) of three community mental health teams. Regression analysis was used to pred…
Comparison between Dutch and Norwegian parents regarding their perceptions on parental measures to prevent substance use among adolescents
This study investigated whether Dutch and Norwegian parents differ in their perceptions on parental measures and how parents view governmental responsibility to prevent adolescents from substance use. Data were derived from a cross-sectional internet survey conducted in the Netherlands and Norway. A subsample of Dutch (n = 2017) and Norwegian parents (n = 844) was selected. Parents were asked about their perceptions on different parental measures…
The reach of a free hepatitis B vaccination programme
The Compulsive Internet Use Scale (Cius)
The present study aimed to develop a short, easily administered, psychometrically sound, and valid instrument to assess the severity of compulsive Internet use. A set of criteria was determined based on the addiction literature. Next, the internal consistency and convergent validity were determined, and the set was tested as a one-factor solution in two representative samples of heavy Internet users (n = 447 and n = 229) and in one large convenie…
Abstaining, Excessive Drinking, Binge Drinking, and Help-Seeking Behavior Among Turks in The Netherlands
In this study, the prevalence of alcohol use and help-seeking behaviors among second-generation Turks in The Netherlands (born in The Netherlands, but having at least 1 Turkish parent) has been assessed by means of postal surveys and compared with the autochthonous Dutch population (individuals with both parents born in The Netherlands). The prevalence of abstaining, excessive alcohol use, binge drinking, and problem drinking among the Turks was …
Vaccination Uptake and Awareness of a Free Hepatitis B Vaccination Program Among Female Commercial Sex Workers
Model Fidelity of Assertive Community Treatment for Clients With First-Episode Psychosis
Assertive community treatment (ACT) is described as a team treatment model designed to provide assertive, outreaching, comprehensive, community-based, rehabilitation-oriented and supportive psychiatric services for people with severe mental illness as reported by Drake et al. (Psychiatr Serv 52: 179-182, 2001) and Teague et al. (Psychiatr Serv 68: 216-232, 1998). This study explores variations in the way the original components of ACT are impleme…
Towards Structural Quality Indicators for Intensive Community-Based Care Programmes for Substance Abusers
Although the importance of structure for the quality of intensive community-based care was already acknowledged in the 1980s, the subject has not received much attention since. The object of this study was to identify the perceived structural quality indicators for intensive community-based care for substance abusers and expand a classification system in order to enable meaningful effect studies and to substantiate structure--outcome links. Using…
A Clients' Perspective on Demand-Oriented and Demand-Driven Health Care
Background: In many Western European countries, there is an increasing request for demand-oriented and demand-driven approaches in health care. In these approaches, the emphasis is on the clients' perspective on healthcare policy and healthcare services. A study was conducted to gain insight into the clients' view of health care. Methods: In 2004 a survey was conducted in the Netherlands among 4250 ambulatory mental health clients, by means of a …
Bridging the Gap between Science and Practice
This article refers to the worldwide gap between research and practice. The use of so-called applied academic centres as a possible way to bridge this gap is proposed. Within academic centres, the university, on the one hand, and treatment and (public) health and social welfare services, on the other, together invest in a long-term partnership. A long-term research program and a knowledge-exchange structure are developed. The authors have establi…
Alcohol intake and cardiovascular disease and mortality
Objectives: Pre-existing conditions have been postulated as possible causes of the J-shaped relationship between alcohol intake and cardiovascular disease. Two research questions have been addressed in this paper. First, whether never drinkers and former drinkers differ from moderate drinkers in terms of health, and if so, which health problems contribute to this difference. Second, whether the U-shaped relationship between current alcohol intake…
Religious, cultural and social cognitive correlates of alcohol use among Turks and Moroccans in The Netherlands
This study examined religious, cultural and social cognitive predictors of alcohol use among second-generation Turks and Moroccans in The Netherlands. Data were obtained from an experimental study in which 189 Turks and 166 Moroccans responded to a mailed questionnaire and 111 Turks and 116 Moroccans responded to a face-to-face interview. Logistic and linear regression models examined religious, cultural and social cognitive correlates of alcohol…
Evidence-Based Work in the Dutch Welfare Sector
The article addresses the topic of evidence–based work in the welfare sector in the Netherlands. It is argued that there is insufficient evidence–based practice in social work and the reasons for this are discussed. Ways to develop evidence-based practice are discussed and it is recommended that welfare professionals and researchers work more closely together.
Methodological problems related to alcohol research among Turks and Moroccans living in the Netherlands
In alcohol research special attention should be paid to second-generation Turks and Moroccans. Although it is probably easier to conduct alcohol studies in this group than in first-generation Turks and Moroccans, quantitative research is needed to test the hypothesis that written questionnaires elicit more reliable answers about alcohol use than face-to-face interviews. Furthermore, the influence of ethnic matching on response and data quality sh…
Profiles of Heroin Addicts in Different Treatment Conditions and in the Community
This article describes profiles of heroin addicts in three types of treatment (methadone, detox and therapeutic community) and those not in treatment in the local community. The profiles are based on data at item-level of the revised Addiction Severity Index. In total, 310 heroin addicts were interviewed. The results show that on the one hand the community group and the methadone group are roughly comparable, and on the other hand the detox and t…
