الوقاية من الدومينو

هذا الأسبوع ، نقول وداعا لصديقنا العزيز ومعلمنا ، جيف لي ، المدير التنفيذي المؤسس ل ISSUP. كان جيف مدافعا ثابتا عن إضفاء الطابع المهني على الوقاية ، وأصر على أن العاملين في هذا المجال يجب أن يكونوا متخصصين بشكل مناسب. غالبا ما ذكرنا أنه في حين أن الأطباء العامين والمتخصصين في العلاج يتمتعون بحسن نوايا ومتأصلة بعمق في مجتمعاتهم ، إلا أنهم ليسوا دائما في وضع أفضل لتطوير وتنفيذ أنظمة الوقاية القائمة على الأدلة. أكد جيف أن الوقاية يجب أن تعامل كعلم متميز - علم يرتكز على بحث صارم ويسترشد بالتدخلات المستمدة من قاعدة أدلة مناسبة للسياق ، بدلا من اختيارها لمجرد أنها تبدو واعدة.

Axford N, Berry V. Money Matters: Time for Prevention and Early Intervention to Address Family Economic Circumstances. J Prev (2022). 2023 Jun;44(3):267-276. doi: 10.1007/s10935-022-00717-9. Epub 2023 Mar 13. PMID: 36913131; PMCID: PMC10009842.

Background
Child poverty is linked to poorer physical and mental health, negative educational outcomes, and long-term social and psychological issues, all of which increase service demand and costs. Traditionally, prevention and early intervention efforts have focused on improving inter-parental relationships, parenting skills, or child development (e.g., early childhood education, family therapy, youth mentoring). These programs often target low-income families but rarely address poverty directly. While such interventions have shown some success, their effects are typically small, short-term...

Background

Drug use trends among youth change rapidly, making it difficult for experts to respond quickly. Delays in addressing these issues can lead to preventable health problems and deaths. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for better strategies to respond quickly and fairly using existing treatments and prevention efforts. Evidence-based interventions (EBIs), like the Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH), are already effective in tackling emerging drug problems. However, we need to improve how these strategies are implemented to better respond to new drug trends. This research aims...

INTRODUCTION: Longitudinal prevention research in adolescents often involves sensitive data collection, necessitating anonymity. Self-Generated Identification Codes (SGICs) have emerged as a tool for linking anonymous data while preserving privacy, but their effectiveness, especially in large-scale studies, remains under-explored. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using SGICs for linking anonymous longitudinal data in a school-based substance use prevention study.

METHODS: We utilised a three-armed randomised control trial design, utilising data from the Czech Unplugged Study. The...

Text Messages Conveying Parental Drinking Limits: A Potential Avenue for Preventing and Reducing Alcohol Use in College Students

Published by / Citation
Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs

Previous studies have shown that when students perceive their parents set strict limits on underage drinking, they tend to consume less alcohol. However, the best ways to communicate these limits effectively remain unclear. To explore this, a recent study examined the potential impact of hypothetical text messages focused on drinking limits on students' estimated alcohol consumption.

The study involved 253 undergraduate students who participated in an online survey. They were asked to imagine a scenario where they planned to attend a night event that involved drinking. Each participant was...
