The Optimus International Consensus Guidance for Monitoring User-Reported Outcomes of Opioid Maintenance Treatment: A Delphi Study
Opioid use disorder is a major cause of drug-related harm and mortality. These can be reduced by expanded access to evidence-based and highly effective opioid agonist maintenance treatment or therapy (OMT). There is a lack of consensus on how to assess opioid use disorder treatment outcomes, and key health outcomes are often omitted. We report the results of a Delphi study to produce service user- and public health–centred international consensus…
The working alliance inventory – short version: Psychometric properties of the patient and therapist form in youth mental health and addiction care
The therapeutic alliance is considered to play an important role in youth treatment. The commonly used versions of the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) are based on Bordin's three-dimensional alliance model. However, previous psychometric studies of the WAI did not find this three-dimensional structure in youth psychotherapy. These earlier findings may indicate different perceptions of the alliance by adolescent versus adult patients, but may als…
Opioid Agonist Maintenance Treatment Outcomes—The Optimus International Consensus Towards Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Care, an Interim Report
Non-medical opioid use is a major public health concern causing high mortality. While opioid agonist maintenance treatment (OMT) is a key life-saving intervention, there is (a) no international consensus on opioid treatment outcomes and (b) few opioid treatment outcome studies include key (public) health outcomes, such as overdose or HIV/hepatitis C. We report the rationale and study protocol for, and preliminary results of, an ongoing internatio…

Reaching the Unreached: Targeting Hidden IDU Populations with Clean Needles via Known User Groups
Needle exchange is a practical and important part of the Dutch prevention strategy to check the spread of HIV among injecting drug users (IDUs). However, needle-exchange programs are often tied to drug treatment programs that only reach a limited number of IDUs. To overcome this limitation, alternative designs are considered and initiated. This article describes a community-based approach to needle exchange that is built on empowerment of, and in…
Drug Sharing and HIV Transmission Risks: The Practice of Frontloading in the Dutch Injecting Drug User Population
Injecting drug users may now be the largest group at risk for contracting HIV, mainly through the sharing of drug injection equipment (including lending, borrowing, and renting). This article presents the results of an ongoing ethnographic study into the drug-taking rituals of heroin addicts. A possible additional route of HIV contamination is presented, namely the ritual sharing of drugs through a practice termed "frontloading," which is embedde…
