Evidence based management of substance misuse in pregnancy
This document discusses evidence-based management of substance misuse in pregnancy. It notes that pregnant women who use substances often feel reluctant to seek support due to fears of judgment or having their baby taken away. Partnership working between health and social services is important to engage these women in a non-judgmental manner. Pregnancy can act as a catalyst for change in reducing substance use. Proper identification and management of neonatal abstinence syndrome is also important. Health professionals should provide advice and support to pregnant women around avoiding alcohol and binge drinking due to risks of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Chronic harms of substance misuse. Effects of substances. A bio-psycho-social...Workingwithsubstanceabuse
This document discusses the bio-psychosocial model for understanding chronic harms of substance misuse. It uses alcohol as an example to show the interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors. The biological effects of substances like alcohol, opioids, stimulants are then outlined, including liver disease, addiction, overdose risk, and infections. Lastly, harm reduction strategies are proposed focusing on prevention, screening, and safer use.File (3)
Almost 25% of teenagers have abused prescription medications at some point in their lifetime, a 33% increase over the past 4 years. Common abused medications include stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. Many parents have a lax approach to prescription drug safety and incorrectly believe stimulants may help their teen's academics. Over 20% of teens who abuse Rx drugs started before age 14. There is a misconception among teens that abusing prescription drugs is safer than illicit street drugs. Abuse of stimulants has significantly increased, with over 1.8 million teens abusing Adderall or Ritalin in the past 6 months alone.
Effects of problematic substance use: Physical and psychological harms
The document outlines the physical, psychological, and social harms of substance misuse. It describes the major effects and risks of opiates, alcohol, and stimulants. Opiate misuse can lead to overdose, health issues, and social problems like crime and unemployment. Alcohol misuse poses risks of overdose, accidents, withdrawal seizures, and social harms. Stimulants may cause cardiovascular and mental health issues as well as risky behaviors and psychological addiction. All substances discussed can negatively impact users' physical health, mental wellbeing, and social relationships.

It provides descriptions of 10 tools for assessing alcohol use, including the AUDIT, MAST, CAGE, and others. It also discusses 3 tools for assessing nicotine use and 7 tools for assessing other drug use, such as the DAST for drugs and OTI and SDS for opiates. Each assessment tool is briefly described, including the number of items, what aspects of use or dependence it assesses, and examples of validated uses in clinical settings.Drugs and substance abuse
The document summarizes the findings of a school project on drug abuse among teenagers. It conducted surveys of over 14 schools involving 9th to 11th grade students. Key findings include:
- Many students reported having friends who had tried drugs occasionally or experimented between 14-16 years of age.
- Common drugs tried included smoking, drinking, cocaine and cannabis.
- Younger students aged 12-14 indicated they may try drugs in the future. Older students aged 14-16 said they would.
- A de-addiction center was visited which uses programs like SMART Recovery through 6 months of behavioral treatment, but many patients relapse after returning to their normal lives.
Drugs in Adolescence
This document discusses drugs in adolescence, including what drugs are, why teenagers take them, and the causes and consequences of teenage drug use. It explores factors that may lead adolescents to experiment with drugs like curiosity, peer pressure, and mental health issues. The document also covers common types of drugs used by teens like cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, alcohol, and tobacco. It concludes that while drugs may seem attractive to escape difficulties of adolescence, they are highly dangerous and can destroy one's life by getting addicted.
CAGE questionnaire
The CAGE questionnaire is a simple 4 question survey that healthcare providers can use to screen patients for potential alcohol problems. It consists of questions that ask patients if they have felt the need to cut down on drinking, if people have annoyed them by criticizing their drinking, if they felt bad or guilty about drinking, and if they have had a morning drink. Each "yes" answer is worth 1 point, with 2 or more points indicating a potential alcohol dependency that providers should consider when developing a patient's care plan, such as monitoring for withdrawal. The CAGE questionnaire is a short, efficient, and widely used alcohol screening tool.

Pakistan has over 6 million drug users, with heroin and tobacco being commonly used. The drug trade generates $2 billion annually for Pakistan. The document outlines government and non-profit organization efforts to address drug addiction.
What is Drugs and alcohol | Some Drugs and Alcohol LAW
The introduction to drug psychoactive substances such as tobacco, alcohol and cannabis at an early age can foster usage and consumption, and indeed addiction in adulthood, and lead to behaviors putting one’s health at risk. Such substance can affect motivation and academic performance and lead to dropping out of school.

This document provides an overview of a presentation on substance abuse and prevention in the workplace. The presentation covers key topics such as indicators of substance abuse, addictions, prevention strategies, return-to-work strategies, employee assistance programs, drug and alcohol testing, and maintaining positive workplace morale and mental health. Effective solutions involve screening, brief interventions, treatment referrals, and changing workplace policies and culture to promote wellness and prevent problems.
Goldberg Chapter 2
This document discusses how drug use impacts society from a sociological perspective. It notes that drug use costs society through deaths, emergency room visits, lost productivity, broken homes, and the costs of treatment, criminal behavior, and fetal alcohol syndrome. It then provides statistics on the extent of drug use in the United States and discusses how drug use relates to crime, either through intoxicated behavior, crimes to fund drug habits, or the illegal drug trade. The document suggests that preventing drug problems may be more effective through reducing demand through treatment and education rather than supply-side approaches like interdiction or preventing foreign production.
Substance abuse and treatment final presentation
This document discusses substance abuse and treatment. It defines substance abuse as unstable drug use that causes significant problems over a period of 12 months. Most treatment programs in the US follow the Minnesota Model, which recognizes that drug users have lost control and need to relearn living without drugs. The Minnesota Model involves 4 steps - admitting there is a problem, entering treatment which can be inpatient or outpatient, undergoing therapy like counseling and meetings, and remaining sober with support from others by avoiding triggers and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Effective treatment considers individual needs, is readily available, and monitors drug use during the program.
Drugs addiction & youth in pakistan by Nadeem wagan
1) Drugs addiction is a serious problem in Pakistan, which has the largest heroin market and exports heroin illegally.
2) Preventative measures against drug abuse need to address different forms of drugs and target specific populations, such as measures aimed at middle schools.
3) Unless serious actions are taken, a large portion of Pakistan's youth will have severely compromised futures due to drug addiction, which is a serious problem being ignored. Coordinated international efforts are needed to address organized criminal networks profiting from the drug trade.
Soc 204 Goldberg ch 3
The document summarizes motivations for drug use according to a chapter on the topic. It finds that curiosity, boredom, escape from problems, and rebellion are the main motivations for trying drugs initially. However, characteristics of the drugs themselves and societal/family influences determine whether a person continues drug use. A variety of theories on drug addiction are also summarized, including biological factors like genetics and brain chemistry as well as social and psychological elements.

Children in need in england in 2013: Parental substance use and harms
The document discusses children in need in England between 2009-2013. It defines a child in need as one who requires local authority services to achieve or maintain a reasonable standard of health or development. The number of children in need was over 400,000 in 2012-2013. Between 2-3% of children in England have parents who misuse drugs, and over 2.6 million children live with hazardous or dependent drinkers. The link between parental substance misuse and children being in need is clear, as over half of suspected child abuse cases involve families experiencing issues like mental illness, substance abuse, or domestic violence.

The document describes a pilot project in Abruzzo, Italy that aimed to support kinship carers and prevent drug misuse among youth. It held parenting skills workshops for kinship carers at local schools. Four kinship carers participated along with 25 parents. The workshops provided information on parenting roles, child development, and local support services. They also facilitated communication and helped participants develop strategies for addressing issues like conflict management. Participants found the workshops reduced isolation and increased awareness of their parenting skills and available supports.

Scottish Government
This document summarizes the history and current state of kinship care in Scotland. It discusses how kinship care was recognized through lobbying efforts and government policies over the past decade. It notes that there are currently over 3,000 children in kinship care arrangements, representing 20% of looked after children. While most local councils now provide payments and services to support kinship carers, issues remain around family tensions, access to services, and supporting carers' employment and income needs. The document aims to improve non-financial support for kinship carers and their interaction with the UK benefits system.
School exclusions in England
This document summarizes exclusion data from schools in England related to drugs and alcohol. While the total number of permanent and fixed-term exclusions for drugs and alcohol has decreased slightly from 2006-2011, the proportion of overall exclusions for those reasons has risen in that period. Specifically, permanent exclusions fell from 400 to 290 but as a percentage of all permanent exclusions increased from 5.3% to 6.5%. Fixed-term exclusions decreased from 8,180 to 7,910 but the percentage of all fixed-term exclusions rose from 2.2% to 2.8%.
Findings and recommendations
This document summarizes findings and recommendations from a project on kinship carers. It finds that kinship carers' needs and those of children in their care are often unmet. It recommends that more research be done to understand kinship care placements and the core needs of carers. National and local authorities should give increased attention to meeting kinship carers' needs, and other agencies should consider the whole family's needs.

RisKit programme - ADEPIS seminar
The RisKit Programme is a multi-component risk behaviour reduction programme for adolescents aged 14-16 in secondary schools across Kent and Medway. It involves screening students using a risk behaviour survey, a two-session drug and alcohol awareness program, four individual motivational interview sessions, an eight-session risk and life skills group program, and referrals to local services. Evaluation found reduced drug, alcohol, and risky sexual behaviour, as well as improved self-esteem, relationships, and school behaviour among participants. Challenges included increasing capacity and supporting schools with fewer resources. Future plans include integrating the program with school health plans, adding family work, and conducting a controlled trial.

Michael O'Toole DfE presentation: Supporting schools to develop young people'...
This document discusses the importance of supporting schools to develop students' character and resilience. It argues that teaching life skills and promoting academic excellence go hand in hand to help students succeed both in school and later in life. The document presents evidence that programs which build resilience can have long-term benefits, including improved behavior, attainment, further education rates, and reduced health and criminal issues. It highlights two case studies, one demonstrating how a local partnership helped strengthen drug education, and another outlining the positive evidence and impacts of the Good Behavior Game, a classroom management approach. The overall message is that schools must be supported to provide opportunities that allow students to thrive.

Dr Deepika Khakha presented on drug abuse and illicit trafficking among children in India. She summarized a nationwide study from 2013 that found children began using substances like tobacco at 12 years old on average. Peer pressure and lack of treatment were common factors. During COVID-19, existing mental health issues in children may be exacerbated by school closures. Health care professionals can help by reducing risk factors through family and school programs, as well as treatment including detoxification, counseling, and relapse prevention. Collaboration across sectors is needed to address this issue.

Evidence based approaches to alcohol and drug prevention in schools
This document discusses evidence-based approaches to drug prevention with young people. It begins by explaining why an evidence base is needed, as prevention activities are recognized as cost-effective but difficult to evidence. The evidence shows that multi-component, whole-school approaches that provide regular life skills sessions through interactive teaching methods are most effective. It also notes that shock tactics and one-off informational sessions do not work as well. The document provides examples of evidence-based programs and encourages tailoring prevention activities to meet young people's specific needs by assessing data sources.

Children in care in England and their identified substance misuse problems
- 1. Children in Care and Substance Misuse Problems Outcomes for children looked after by local authorities
- 2. Note • The term ‘drug’ is used to refer to any psychotropic substance, including illegal drugs, illicit use of prescription drugs and volatile substances. • Young people’s drug taking is often inextricably linked with the consumption of alcohol. Therefore the term ‘substance’ refers to both drugs and alcohol but not tobacco. • Substance misuse is defined as ‘intoxication by (or regular excessive consumption or and/or dependence on) psychoactive substances, leading to social, psychological, physical or legal problems’. It includes problematic use of both legal and illegal drugs (including alcohol when used in combination with other substances).
