Understanding the research capacity of alcohol and other drugs services in New South Wales, Australia
The impact of changes in opioid dependency treatment upon Covid-19 transmission in Sydney, Australia: A retrospective longitudinal observational study
Clients attending SESLHD ODT services are significantly more likely to acquire COVID-19 than the NSW population at large. Promoting vaccination uptake, transferring clients to pharmacy, and reducing the frequency of dosing (by use of takeaway doses or long-acting depot buprenorphine) are all potential methods to reduce this risk
How a 25-year-old periodic survey for lesbian, bisexual and queer women responded and adapted to gender diversity: A Reflexive Analysis
Twenty-five years ago, the first Sydney Women and Sexual Health (SWASH) survey sought to generate knowledge about HIV risk for women in contact with Sydney’s gay and lesbian community. SWASH has gone on to become the longest running periodic survey of lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) women’s health. It reflects LBQ women’s lives back to them and makes LBQ women knowable for Australian public policy. But, like all research, the social reality SWA…

Determining clinical cutoff scores for the Australian Treatment Outcomes Profile psychological health, physical health and quality of life questions
Opioid agonist treatment and patient outcomes during the Covid ‐19 pandemic in south east Sydney, Australia

Assertive management services can be effective in preventing hospital presentations and costs for frequent ED attenders with SUDs and improving client outcomes, representing an effective integrated health approach. The IMPACT service has since been refined and integrated into routine care across a number of hospitals in Sydney, Australia
Integrated management pathways for alcohol and drug clients into treatment (impact) service reduces emergency department visits
Introduction and Aims: People with substance use disorders (SUD) are over represented among frequent attenders to Emergency Departments (ED), however there have been few attempts to systematically respond to such individuals outside of hospital settings. This presentation will report on the final results of an assertive outreach case management program (IMPACT), aimed at frequent (≥5 within the past year) attenders with SUD presenting to two majo…
Alprazolam use and related harm among opioid substitution treatment clients – 12 months follow up after regulatory rescheduling
The best three days of my life’: Pleasure, power and alienation in the 2011 riots
This article examines one of the less frequently considered elements of riots: the emotions to which they give rise. Based on testimony from interviews with people who took part in the 2011 England riots, it explores the curiosity which drew many onto the streets, the excitement and fear involved in such quickly unfolding and unpredictable events, the impunity that many felt being part of such large crowds, together with the sense of ‘empowerment…
The biggest gang’? Police and people in the 2011 England riots
Conflict with the police is a staple of civil disorder and the English riots of 2011 were no exception. The antagonism towards the police expressed by the rioters varied in intensity – from a low-level anger stemming from occasional negative experiences on the one hand to outright, visceral hostility on the other – but was visible everywhere riots took place. Leading politicians dismissed this hostility as nothing more than the typical wariness c…
Shopping for Free? Looting, Consumerism and the 2011 Riots: Fig. 1
A number of commentators have suggested that the riots in England in August 2011 were distinctive because of the character and extent of the looting that took place. In doing so, they have argued that the nature of modern consumer capitalism should be placed front and centre of any explanation of the disorder. While concurring with elements of such arguments, we depart from such analyses in three ways. First, we argue that it is important not to …
Doing No Harm? Rethinking Vulnerability in Sexuality Research with Young People in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Addressing the vulnerability of participants is a key concern for those undertaking sexuality research with young people and, whilst university ethics committees provide guidelines, their practical implementation is often problematic as what it means to ‘do no harm’ is not always clear. This article explores some of these issues, drawing on the author's own research conducted in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and reflecting on the author's own e…
At the intersection of marginalised identities: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people's experiences of injecting drug use and hepatitis C seroconversion
Although the levels of injecting drug use among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) populations are high, we know little about their experiences of injecting drugs or living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The loss of traditional family and cultural ties means connection to community is important to the well-being of LGBT populations. Although some kinds of drug use are normalised within many LGBT communities, injecting drug use…
