Adapting an evidence-based contingency management and text messaging intervention for South African perinatal women who drink
South Africa has one of the highest prevalence rates globally for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Despite this, few interventions are routinely available for countering the adverse effects of perinatal drinking. The current study used the ADAPT-ITT framework to guide the development of a behavioral intervention with remote alcohol use monitoring and provision of financial incentives contingent on alcohol abstinence for people who are pregnant a…
Equity impact of minimum unit pricing of alcohol on household health and finances among rich and poor drinkers in South Africa
INTRODUCTION: South Africa experiences significant levels of alcohol-related harm. Recent research suggests minimum unit pricing (MUP) for alcohol would be an effective policy, but high levels of income inequality raise concerns about equity impacts. This paper quantifies the equity impact of MUP on household health and finances in rich and poor drinkers in South Africa. METHODS: We draw from extended cost-effectiveness analysis (ECEA) methods an…
Is South Africa being spared the global opioid crisis? A review of trends in drug treatment demand for heroin, nyaope and codeine-related medicines in South Africa (2012–2017)
Electronic cigarettes
Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of death globally. For years, the tobacco industry sought to create a tobacco product that is less controversial than conventional cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes were created out of the supposed need to supply consumers of tobacco products with a less harmful tobacco product. The question remains, is it really less harmful for consumers of traditional cigarettes and other tobacco products to …
The state of interventions to address substance-related disorders in South African workplaces
Substance abuse in South Africa is highly prevalent and continues to be a major cause of mortality and a risk factor for both communicable and non-communicable diseases. The employer costs associated with substance abuse remain high owing to rising health costs, accidents, absenteeism, and workers’ compensation claims placing the organisation and its employees at risk for harm. This article describes the status of current policy, prevention, and …
Re-examining the evidence for a total ban on alcohol advertising in South Africa
In early 2013, the minister of health announced that a draft bill, the Control of Alcoholic Beverages Bill, was ready to be presented to parliament (Wolhuter, 2013). This bill, which calls for a total ban on alcohol advertising in South Africa, has sparked massive public debate and backlash from the alcohol and advertising industries. As a counter-attack, the alcohol industry has intensified its advertising of alcohol products and commissioned a …
A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010
The illegal narcotics trade in southern Africa
The current policy arena with regard to drugs in South Africa is in a state of transition. Yet the burden of harm associated with drug use and the increased usage that has accompanied our changing situation necessitate, it is argued, a comprehensive drug control strategy. The paper provides an overview of previous attempts to address the problem in South Africa and presents the case for a ‘master plan’. It outlines a wide‐ranging set of factors t…
