REVIEW 2010 HTM file
Effectiveness of policies maintaining or restricting days of alcohol sales on excessive alcohol consumption and related harms
International research from developed nations offers some support for the belief that allowing or disallowing Saturday or Sunday alcohol sales and service affects drinking and alcohol-related harm.
STUDY 2008 HTM file
Overdose training and take-home naloxone for opiate users: prospective cohort study of impact on knowledge and attitudes and subsequent management of overdoses
As concern mounts about Britain's failure to reverse the recent growth in drug-related deaths, the first large-scale UK follow-up study has assessed the impact of training in overdose recognition and management featuring the opiate blocking drug naloxone.
REVIEW 2011 HTM file
Effectiveness of motivational interviewing interventions for adolescent substance use behavior change: a meta-analytic review
Not just for adults, but teenagers and young adults too, with this analysis motivational interviewing seems confirmed as the leading evidence-based approach to reducing possibly or actually risky substance use among non-clinical populations not seeking treatment.
STUDY 2011 HTM file
Methadone prescribing under supervised consumption on premises: a Scottish clinician's perspective on prescribing practice
Survey responses from clinicians prescribing methadone at Scottish addiction treatment clinics show how the requirement that patients be observed taking the medication involves striking a balance between safety, individualising treatment, and attracting and retaining patients.
STUDY 2009 HTM file
Thinking about drinking: need for cognition and readiness to change moderate the effects of brief alcohol interventions
This US study found that different types of heavy-drinking college students responded best to different types of brief intervention to promote moderation; a novel finding was that the thinkers among them were most affected by being led to reflect on how their drinking compared to that of the average student.
STUDY 2010 HTM file
Bridging the gap between evidence and practice: a multi-perspective examination of real-world drug education
An audit of school drug education in Scotland in the early 2000s found that in key respects lessons departed from what research had shown was effective prevention and that despite national guidelines, there was no consistent national or even local approach.
STUDY 2010 HTM file
Effects of psychiatric comorbidity on treatment outcome in patients undergoing diamorphine or methadone maintenance treatment

STUDY 2010 HTM file
Cost-effectiveness of home visits in the outpatient treatment of patients with alcohol dependence
In Brazil adding home visits to a three-month alcohol detoxification and treatment programme cost-effectively increased the abstinence rate at the end of treatment.
STUDY 2009 HTM file
Randomized controlled trial of a cognitive-behavioral motivational intervention in a group versus individual format for substance use disorders
For US problem drinkers and drug users not at the severest end of the spectrum, four sessions of group were as effective as four of individual therapy but took much fewer therapist hours per patient. The little research we have suggests this a common finding, commending group approaches on cost-effectiveness grounds.
STUDY 2011 HTM file
Transitioning opioid-dependent patients from detoxification to long-term treatment: efficacy of intensive role induction
The drive in Britain to increase drug treatment exits will mean more patients detoxifying and in need of being linked to effective follow-on care to safeguard their lives and their recovery. Evidence from the USA that a simple counselling intervention can help make that vital link.
