Validation of the Australian Treatment Outcomes Profile for use in clients with cannabis dependence
Trends in Daily Cannabis Use Among Cigarette Smokers
Objectives. To estimate changes in the prevalence of daily cannabis use among current, former, and never cigarette smokers from 2002 to 2014 in the United States. Methods. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health is a nationally representative cross-sectional study conducted annually among persons aged 12 years and older in the United States. Results. Daily cannabis use occurs nearly exclusively among nondaily and daily cigarette smokers compar…
Two Sides of the Same Coin
The aim of the current study was to delineate the psychiatric profile of cannabis dependent young people (14-29 years old) with mental health problems (N = 36) seeking treatment via a research study. To do so, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR Axis I Disorders and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Childhood Diagnoses were used to obtain DSM-IV diagnoses, while a modified Timeline Followback interview and self-reports were…
Alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use among six culturally diverse communities in Sydney
Smoking cessation programs should prioritise communities with higher or equal rates of daily smokers compared with the wider New South Wales population. Focus areas vary between the communities, and include increasing help seeking and improving quitting success rates. Short-term risky drinking was not as prevalent among the surveyed communities; however, results suggest a need for prevention targeting Pasifika communities. Understanding the preva…
Cannabis treatment outcomes among legally coerced and non-coerced adults
More public health information is needed on cannabis dependence and increased availability of subsidised early and brief interventions in a variety of primary health care settings would reduce the late presentations of the more severely impaired voluntary clients. The limitations of this dataset are discussed
Effects of backpacking holidays in Australia on alcohol, tobacco and drug use of UK residents
As countries actively seek to attract more international backpacker tourists, interventions must be developed that target this population's risk behaviours. Developing messages on drunkenness and other drug use specifically for backpackers could help minimise their health risks directly (e.g. adverse drug reactions) and indirectly (e.g. accidents and violence) as well as negative impacts on the host country
The effects of alcohol consumption, psychological distress and smoking status on emergency department presentations in New South Wales, Australia
The combination of being a high-risk consumer of alcohol, having high psychological distress, and being a current smoker are associated with increased presentations to emergency departments, independent of age and sex. Further research is needed to enhance recognition of and intervention for these symptoms in an emergency department setting in order to improve patient health and reduce future re-presentations to emergency departments
The health and psycho-social consequences of ketamine use
Substance use patterns of young offenders and violent crime
The use of alcohol is a significant predictor of the involvement of young offenders in violent crime. This study found that in a sample of 300 incarcerated juveniles in New South Wales, more than 70% admitted to violent crime. Detainees from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander culture were less likely than other detainees to be involved in violent crime. The substances most associated with violent crime were alcohol, followed by cocaine. Howe…
Exploring the relationship between male homo/bi-sexuality, body image and steroid use
This study aimed to determine the characteristics of anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) users to determine their motivations for use, and to examine the patterns and correlates of AAS use, with particular attention to homo/bi-sexual men. A personal interview was conducted with 100 current AAS users in New South Wales, Australia using a structured questionnaire divided into ten separate sections: Demographics; patterns of AAS use; reasons for AAS u…
A qualitative study of self-managed change in substance dependence among women
Alcohol and drug abuse and dependence are common disorders in our society, and the vast majority of those who recover do so without formal treatment. Although this phenomenon appears to be more common among women than men, no study reported in the literature has provided information on the process of natural recovery among women. This qualitative study found that the model of natural recovery described by Biernacki appears to adequately character…
