Foreman-Mackey, A., Pauly, B., Ivsins, A. et al. Moving towards a continuum of safer supply options for people who use drugs: A qualitative study exploring national perspectives on safer supply among professional stakeholders in Canada. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 66 (2022).
Background
Novel public health interventions are needed to address the toxic drug supply and meet the needs of people who use drugs amidst the overdose crisis. Safer supply – low-barrier distribution of pharmaceutical grade substances – has been implemented in some jurisdictions to provide safer alternatives to the unregulated drug supply, yet no studies to date have explored professional stakeholder perspectives on this approach.
Methods
Purposive sampling was used to recruit professional stakeholders (n = 17) from four locations in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia...

Arrière-plan
La prévalence des troubles liés à l’utilisation de substances est plus élevée chez les enfants ayant des démêlés avec la justice. Il est essentiel de s’assurer que les CIM qui signalent une utilisation actuelle sont orientés vers une évaluation du SUD et des services de traitement susceptibles de sauver des vies. Des recherches antérieures suggèrent que certains groupes minoritaires sont moins susceptibles d’avoir déjà été orientés vers un dépistage, et la recherche sur l’intersectionnalité suggère que ces disparités peuvent être exacerbées pour les femmes issues de minorités...

Arrière-plan
La COVID-19 a considérablement limité l’ampleur et la portée du travail des services de santé locaux, en réorientant les ressources vers la riposte. Cependant, le besoin de services de santé publique essentiels, y compris la prévention de la toxicomanie, n’a pas diminué.
Méthode
Six sources de données quantitatives, recueillies entre 2016 et 2021, ont été examinées afin d’explorer l’impact de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur les services liés à la consommation de substances liées à la LHD.
Résultats
Avant la pandémie, la proportion de LHD offrant un certain niveau de...
Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA)
Le Réseau communautaire canadien d’épidémiologie contre l’usage de drogues (CCENDU) est un réseau pancanadien de partenaires communautaires coordonné par le Centre canadien sur les dépendances et l’usage de substances (CCDUS). Le réseau a des sites en Colombie-Britannique, au Manitoba, à Thunder Bay, à Toronto, au Québec, en Nouvelle-Écosse et à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador.
En avril 2019, le CCENDU a publié un bulletin sur les changements dans la consommation de stimulants et les méfaits connexes, qui portait sur la méthamphétamine et la cocaïne* en se fondant sur les données recueillies par...

Background
The COVID-19 emergency has tested the public health, medical, and public safety infrastructure of the United States (U.S.) in unprecedented ways. As the focal point for public health in their communities, local health departments (LHDs) were particularly impacted by the pandemic’s onset. The pandemic limited the scale and scope of local health department (LHD) work, redirecting resources to the response. However, the need for essential public health services—including substance use prevention—was not reduced.
Methods
Six quantitative data sources were examined, collected...
Banárová, K., Čerešník, M., & Pipová, H. (2022). Avoidance, anxiety towards parents, and self-acceptance of adolescents in the system of higher secondary education. Adiktologie, 22(2), 82–93. https://doi.org/10.35198/01-2022-002-0001
BACKGROUND:
A close relationship between a parent and a child and parental acceptance can mediate the appropriate self-acceptance of an adolescent, which is an important variable related to personality and a pillar of emotional health. In the paper we present the conclusions of a research study about the quality of the attachment towards parents and self-acceptance of adolescents at Czech secondary schools.
AIMS:
The aim of the study was the exploration of the relation between the attachment style and self-acceptance.
SAMPLE:
The research sample consists of 3,239 adolescents...
Vyshneva, V. (2022). Effect of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine ratio in e-liquid on aerosol formation: Overview of relevant properties. Adiktologie, 22(2), 118–125. https://doi.org/10.35198/01-2022-002-0005
BACKGROUND:
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) generate an aerosol by vaporising e-liquids that usually consist of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), and other ingredients (water, nicotine, and flavours). The chemical and physical properties of these components have a significant effect on aerosol formation and must be identified in order to improve product attractiveness and assess the degree of health risks.
AIM:
The aim of this article is to provide a description of the composition of the e-liquid base and its impact on the physical properties of the liquid...
Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines were originally published by CCSA in November 2011 and were the result of the work of alcohol research experts in Canada. Since then, substantial new research on the association between alcohol use and physical, mental and social harms has been completed. Many countries have updated their guidance on drinking to reflect these advancements in what is known about the risks and benefits associated with alcohol consumption.
The report is composed of three documents: the Public Summary, the Technical Summary and the Technical Report.

Hirchak, K.A., Amiri, S., Kordas, G. et al. Variations in national availability of waivered buprenorphine prescribers by racial and ethnic composition of zip codes. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 41 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00457-3
Background
Opioid overdose remains a public health crisis in diverse communities. Between 2019 and 2020, there was an almost 40% increase in drug fatalities primarily due to opioid analogues of both stimulants and opioids. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD; e.g., buprenorphine) are effective, evidence-based treatments that can be delivered in office-based primary care settings. We investigated disparities in the proportion of national prescribers who have obtained a waiver issued to prescribe MOUD by demographic characteristics.
Turuba, R., Amarasekera, A., Howard, A.M. et al. A qualitative study exploring how young people perceive and experience substance use services in British Columbia, Canada. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 43 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00456-4
Background
Substance use among youth (ages 12–24) is troublesome given the increasing risk of harms associated. Even more so, substance use services are largely under utilised among youth, most only accessing support when in crisis. Few studies have explored young people’s help-seeking behaviours to address substance use concerns. To address this gap, this study explored how youth perceive and experience substance use services in British Columbia (BC), Canada.
Methods
Participatory action research methods were used by partnering with BC youth (under the age of 30) from across the...
Rempala, H.A., Barterian, J.A. Neurofeedback for opioid dependent patients in an outpatient setting: a pilot feasibility study. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 17, 28 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-022-00458-2
Background
When used in combination with other therapies for drug use disorders, neurofeedback (NF) has been classified as "probably effective," according to recent research in the community of people with opioid use disorder. Despite these encouraging results, the severity of the opioid crisis, and the high risk of relapse even with the most effective medication-assisted maintenance therapy, NF remains a little-studied therapeutic option. The possibility of incorporating Alpha/Theta Neurofeedback into standard opioid addiction therapy in an outpatient urban treatment facility is examined...
