Abstract:

Review of the literature demonstrated that knowledge surrounding the process of illicit drug injection preparation is limited. A better understanding of the details of injection preparation methods could inform study of the risks and complications, as well as the development of harm reduction advice. This project had two main objectives: To characterise the injection preparation process in detail, then to attempt to quantify the risks posed by these injections through laboratory investigations. The project had specific focus on the use of the acids by injectors to increase the solubility of in

Abstract:

This thesis applies Bacchi's (2009; 2016) policy analysis framework, to Australian illicit drug policy texts (1985–2017) to interrogate exercises of power in illicit drug policy. Findings reveal the dominance of legal and health/well-being discourses which produce the body as a site of self-governance ('responsibilisation'), while epidemiological narratives narrow the cannabis 'problem' and omit why cannabis is used for recreation. Failure to resolve the historical influence of morality associated with public health rationalities and their intersection with law and order has meant that harm mi

Abstract:

Harm reduction is a concept that has gained momentum as it relates to prevention of negative consequences of drug use. Some harm reduction approaches, such as naloxone provision, have garnered significant support, whereas others, such as providing access to clean syringes, are the exception as opposed the rule. Evidence suggests there is significant variation in harm reduction behaviors among providers, including community pharmacists. Community pharmacies are one of the most accessible points for healthcare; approximately 90% of U.S. residents live within five miles of a pharmacy. Therefore,

Konceptet härstammar från 1920-talets England där grunderna för behandlingsformen utvecklades efter att läkarkåren ansåg att underhåll av missbruk i flera fall kan vara nödvändigt. Metadonbehandling och sprututbytesprojekt är två exempel på Harm reduction relaterade insatser.

In particular, findings informed the feasibility of a Harm Reduction approach for cannabis and driving. Globally, attitudes towards recreational and medicinal use of cannabis are becoming increasingly tolerant. It is expected that the prevalence of cannabis use will rise, along with the associated harms such as drug driving. Harm Reduction is a policy which offers a non-judgemental approach to the issue.

Abstract:

Harm reduction is an approach that aims to reduce harms related to using drugs. Harm reduction services often fail to consider the needs of women who inject drugs or minimise responses to women’s needs in service design and implementation (Bennett et al., 2000; Brown et al., 2005; EMCDDA, 2006; Levy, 2014a; Pinkham, Stoicesu and Myers, 2012; UNODC et al., 2014). It is therefore crucial to understand the experiences of women who inject drugs from their own perspectives, as well as those of harm reduction workers, in order to develop and implement effective responses to injecting drug use.

Abstract:

Interest has grown in the concept of using Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) during attempts at smoking reduction (SR) and temporary abstinence (TA). This is partially due to data from clinical trials showing that the concurrent use of NRT and cigarettes can result in significant reductions in cigarette consumption, and increases the propensity of smokers to quit. However, it is not clear whether similar findings will emerge outside of that structured setting. Data are also limited on the acceptability among smokers of using NRT in these ways, and whether healthcare professionals will be oppo

Drug overdose death rates in the United States have more than tripled since 1990 with more than 36,000 dying in 2008. In 2007 the estimated cost of drug use to U.S. society due to lost productivity, increased health care, and criminal justice costs was over $193 billion. Previous researchers have found that harm reduction is a viable treatment option within the field of addiction. The guiding premise in the harm reduction approach is that all people can achieve improved psychological and physiological health even if they are unable to be substance-free.

Abstract:

The notion of harm reduction has existed in many fields of study for a considerable period of time, but it has recently resurfaced primarily in the field of public health policy since the discovery of HIV and the ensuing AIDS pandemic. Harm reduction has been identified by various authorities in health care as a policy that may help reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS among users of illicit, injectable drugs. This focus on health matters makes the development of a more holistic approach towards harm reduction for users of injectable drugs difficult. This study seeks the perspective of users of illic

Taking an empirical, critical approach to the problem of drugs, this thesis explores the interaction of drug policies and young people's drug use in Brisbane.

Contemporary understandings of drug use as either recreational or addictive can create a false binary, and influence how illicit drugs are used. These understandings interact with policy responses to the drug problem, with some very real implications for the lived experiences of dr
