Abstract:
We explored the effects of drug use history (current/recent user of drugs, used/tried drugs, never tried drugs) and a measure of drug test consequences (termination versus rehabilitation) on the perceived fairness of organizational drug testing (DT). Data were collected as part of a statewide telephone survey of the general adult population. Personal drug use history and DT consequences interacted such that DT consequences were related to DT fairness only for nonusers who had past drug use experience. The importance of past drug use in understanding reactions to DT are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract:
AIMS: To describe the development and evaluation of the Substances and Choices Scale (SACS), an adolescent alcohol and other drug (AOD) self-report instrument designed in a similar format to the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). DESIGN: A literature review, extensive consultation and discriminant analysis on a pilot sample (n = 61) of adolescents informed the development of the SACS. The psychometric properties of the SACS were then tested in a larger community and clinical sample. SETTING: Three youth out-patient AOD treatment services and three secondary schools in Auckland, New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS: 13-18-year-old males and females attending the services (n = 120) or schools (n = 531). MEASUREMENTS: The SACS was administered with the CRAFFT, the Problem Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers (POSIT) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). FINDINGS: Reliability of the SACS was sound, with coefficient alpha 0.91 and 3-week test-retest correlation 0.88. Congruent validity coefficients of the SACS versus the CRAFFT and the POSIT were 0.79 and 0.91, respectively. A ROC curve demonstrated the SACS as having a predictive value of 92%. Repeat SACS scores in a treatment sample indicated that the SACS had utility in measuring change. Feedback from participants indicated that the SACS was highly acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: The SACS is a simple AOD instrument that is reliable, valid and acceptable to young people. It has utility in screening and measuring outcome and should enhance the identification and treatment of AOD difficulties in adolescents across a range of health settings.

Abstract:
Background Over the past 60 years, the view that ‘alcoholism’ is a disease for which the only acceptable goal of treatment is abstinence has given way to the recognition that alcohol use disorders ( AUDs) occur on a continuum of severity, for which a variety of treatment options are appropriate. However, because the available treatments for AUDs are not effective for everyone, more research is needed to develop novel and more efficacious treatments to address the range of AUD severity in diverse populations. Here we offer recommendations for the design and analysis of alcohol treatment trials, with a specific focus on the careful conduct of randomized clinical trials of medications and nonpharmacological interventions for AUDs. Methods This paper provides a narrative review of the quality of published clinical trials and recommendations for the optimal design and analysis of treatment trials for AUDs. Results Despite considerable improvements in the design of alcohol clinical trials over the past 2 decades, many studies of AUD treatments have used faulty design features and statistical methods that are known to produce biased estimates of treatment efficacy. Conclusions The published statistical and methodological literatures provide clear guidance on methods to improve clinical trial design and analysis. Consistent use of state-of-the-art design features and analytic approaches will enhance the internal and external validity of treatment trials for AUDs across the spectrum of severity. The ultimate result of this attention to methodological rigor is that better treatment options will be identified for patients with an AUD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract:
The article proposes new ways for the treatment of addicts. It is opined that many social workers are not thoroughly prepared for carrying out the responsibilities that they assume in the treatment of drug addiction. Social workers are providing more and more of the treatment for drug addicts, but so far, neither the personnel nor the techniques have proved adequate. It is suggested that the workers must be trained to view the problem of addiction as the addicts themselves do. Furthermore, if one can determine how the addicts see themselves and attempt to deal with them through channels in which the perceptual gap is lessened, they may begin to seek treatment of their own choice. For social workers, the first step in the treatment of addicts may be to relinquish the notion that rehabilitation is synonymous with total abstinence from drugs and that the reliance on a chemical is incompatible with progress. It is important to view addiction as a chronic illness in which periodic abstinence, even for a few weeks or months, is considered a boon to a patient, family, and community.
