REVIEW 2010 HTM file
Quality of life among opiate-dependent individuals: a review of the literature
The first systematic review of research on the quality of life of opiate users finds this generally improves once they enter substitute prescribing treatments, but that few studies have assessed what counts as a good life from the point of view of the patient.

Benefits of concurrent syringe exchange and substance abuse treatment participation
From Baltimore in the USA, evidence that encouraging syringe exchange participants to enter treatment will reduce their drug use, crime and injecting more than syringe exchange alone.

Therapist effectiveness: implications for accountability and patient care
1 in 6 US therapists (mainly not specialising in substance use) typically ended up with clients whose substance use problems were significantly worse than when they started therapy, an indication perhaps that social workers and mental health counsellors find these issues especially hard to deal with.

Do drug policies affect cannabis markets? A natural experiment in Switzerland, 2000–10
Studies of a 'natural experiment' in Switzerland in the 2000s suggested that the effective re-criminalisation of cannabis production and distribution did diminish availability and use of the drug. The results contradict other findings suggesting that national policies have little effect on cannabis use.

Offender alcohol interventions: minding the policy gap

An evaluation of the implementation of the objectives of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005; first interim report summary
Scotland's 2005 licensing reforms were of nationwide interest because they placed it in the vanguard across the UK, notably in adding public health to licensing objectives. While staff say other elements are working well, disappointingly this key measure has so far had little impact.

Cluster-randomized controlled trial of dissemination strategies of an online quality improvement programme for alcohol-related disorders
No matter which dissemination strategy was tried, just 4 in 10 GPs in Germany logged in to a government funded online alcohol intervention education and support system. Even among the few practices who joined the study, training was poorly attended.
