STUDY 2015 HTM file
Opioid treatment at release from jail using extended-release naltrexone: a pilot proof-of-concept randomized effectiveness trial
Though few seemed willing to try this treatment, among those who did, opiate-blocking injections active for about a month helped formerly dependent prisoners in New York City’s jail avoid relapse to regular opiate use after release.
STUDY 2015 HTM file
The impact of extended closing times of alcohol outlets on alcohol-
related injuries in the nightlife areas of Amsterdam: a controlled
before-and-after evaluation
Adding just one or two hours to late-night opening times for bars and clubs in two of Amsterdam’s nightlife areas led to a persistent 34% increase in alcohol-related injuries, a trend reflected in both the numbers of accidental injuries and those due to violence.
STUDY 2015 HTM file
Clonidine maintenance prolongs opioid abstinence and decouples stress from craving in daily life: a randomized controlled trial
From the USA the first study to show that the drug clonidine can not only ease withdrawal from heroin but also help prevent relapse, seemingly by moderating stress-related craving for the drug.
A major study conducted in London did not find clinically important reductions in drinking among excessive drinkers offered a brief intervention while attending sexual health clinics, nor did brief intervention seem a cost-effective use of health service resources.
STUDY 2015 HTM file
The effects of social and health consequence framing on heavy drinking intentions among college students
To moderate student drinking, tell them about the embarrassment and social losses they might suffer from heavy drinking, but when it comes to health, focus on the gains from not drinking heavily.
REVIEW 2013 HTM file
Interventions for reducing alcohol consumption among general hospital inpatient heavy alcohol users: a systematic review
Review of studies of interventions for heavy drinkers identified among general hospital inpatients concluded that multi-session brief interventions could reduce drinking. “Could” is an important qualifier: yet to be pinned down is why though sometimes they work, brief interventions often fail to produce significant effects.
STUDY 2014 HTM file
The workplace as an arena for universal alcohol prevention – what can we expect? An evaluation of a short educational intervention
In Sweden an education-based intervention in the workplace generated significant improvements in employees’ alcohol-related risk knowledge, but no significant effects on overall drinking or binge drinking.
STUDY 1997 HTM file
Performance contracting for substance abuse treatment
This US study finds that performance contracting may be associated with improvements in service utilisation and treatment outcomes, but does not appear to increase engagement with under-served populations.
REVIEW 2011 HTM file
Brief interventions for heavy alcohol users admitted to general hospital wards
Many with alcohol-related disorders, risky drinking hospital inpatients with time to reflect on their problems ought to be prime candidates for brief advice. This updated synthesis of studies found some significant impacts but these were inconsistent, perhaps because merely being identified as a heavy drinker has an impact on its own.
