Control, power, and responsibility: A qualitative study of local perspectives on problem drinking in Peruvian Andean highlands
BACKGROUND: Alcohol control has emerged as an important global health challenge due to the expanding influence of alcohol companies and limited control measures imposed by governments. In the Peruvian Andean highland, the ritual function of collective drinking is reported to have been weakened in response to the increased availability of alcohol and the experience of political violence. This study seeks to merge the broader political economy with…

No measure to identify readiness to change has yet been validated for speeding. The Readiness to Change Questionnaire appraises readiness to change drinking behavior. The questionnaire was adapted to speeding and its psychometric properties examined. Participants (N = 112) comple…
Meilleures pratiques et formation dans le contexte du continuum des services en santé mentale et en toxicomanie: Le programme de formation croisée du sud-ouest de Montréal
This article presents the cross training program in Montreal's south-west. The authors underline that the context of post-deinstitutionalization and mental health service integration impose new roles to professionals who work within these different networks of services. Cross training thus appears as a model that is particularly adapted to their needs in order to optimize their interventions. The model is presented with a review of the most recen…
Subjective Appraisal of Problem Severity and the ASI: Secondary Data or Second Opinion
The Addiction Severity Index is a popular research and clinical tool for the characterization of individuals grappling with substance abuse problems. For research, use of the seven objectively calculated composite scores of problem severity is recommended. In contrast, clinical use of the instrument relies more upon its subjectively derived interviewer and client severity rating scores. However, little systematic research has looked at the compar…
The Comparability of Male Violent Substance Abusers in Violence or Substance Abuse Treatment
The Role of Spouses of Substance Abusers in Treatment: Gender Differences
Studies exploring gender differences among substance abusers in treatment have been fairly consistent in finding that females who enter treatment express more severe psychological and psychosocial disturbances than males, despite presenting with shorter and less intense substance abuse histories. However, strands of evidence suggest that the presence of a spouse, generally perceived as an asset in the treatment of the substance abuser, may have d…
