Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus FACTEUR DE VULNERABILITE ; POLYCONSOMMATION ; THEORIE DE L'ESCALADE ; CANNABIS Résumé : We outline and evaluate competing explanations of three relationships that have consistently been found between cannabis use and the use of other illicit drugs, namely, (1) that cannabis use typically precedes the use of other illicit drugs; and that (2) the earlier cannabis is used, and (3) the more regularly it is used, the more likely a young person is to use other illicit drugs. We consider three major competing explanations of these patterns : (1) that the relationship is due to the fact that there is a shared illicit market for cannabis and other drugs which makes it more likely that other illicit drugs will be used if cannabis is used ; (2) that they are explained by the characteristics of those who use cannabis ; and (3) that they reflect a causal relationship in which the pharmacological effects of cannabis on brain function increase the likelihood of using other illicit drugs. These explanations are evaluated in the light of evidence from longitudinal epidemiological studies, simulation studies, discordant twin studies and animal studies. The available evidence indicates that the association reflects in part but is not wholly explained by: (1) the selective recruitment to heavy cannabis use of persons with pre-existing traits (that may be in part genetic) that predispose to the use of a variety of different drugs ; (2) the affiliation of cannabis users with drug using peers in settings that provide more opportunities to use other illicit drugs at an earlier age ; (3) supported by socialisation into an illicit drug subculture with favourable attitudes towards the use of other illicit drugs. Animal studies have raised the possibility that regular cannabis use may have pharmacological effects on brain function that increase the likelihood of using other drugs. (Review's abstract).

Design : Cross sectional structured interview. Setting : Sydney, Australia. Participants : 615 current heroin users : 201 entering methadone/buprenorphine maintenance (MT), 201 entering detoxification (DTX), 133 entering drug free residential rehabilitation (RR) and 80 not in treatment (NT). Findings : Current major depressive episode was reported by 25 %. The rates of major depressive disorder ranged from 26 % in the treatment groups (23 % MT, 25 % DTX, 31 % RR) to 16 % of those not in treatment. Females were more likely to have current major depressive episode (31 % versus 21 % OR 1,70, 95 % CI 1.16-2,48). Factors associated with depression in the treatment groups were post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attempted suicide in the last 12 months and severe physical disability. Among the non-treatment group those with depression were also more likely to have PTSD. Women entering treatment were three times more likely to meet criteria for current major depression than women not in treatment. Among men however, the rates were not significantly different. Conclusion: Depression is a significant concern among entrants to treatment for heroin dependence. An essential component of treatment should be a consideration of depression, with the provision of appropriate treatment were required. (Review's abstract).

Design Longitudinal prospective cohort study. Participants Seven hundred and forty five individuals entering treatment (methadone/buprenorphine maintenance therapy; detoxification; residential rehabilitation) and 80 heroin users not seeking treatment. Setting Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, Australia. Findings A total of 657 individuals were re-interviewed at 1 year, 80 % of the original sample. There were substantial reductions in heroin and other drug use across all three treatment modalities. The majority of those who had entered treatment were heroin abstinent at 1 year (maintenance therapy 65 %, detoxification 52 %, residential rehabilitation 63 %) compared to 25 % of the non-treatment sample. The reduction in heroin use among the treatment samples was paralleled by reductions in poly drug use. There were also substantial reductions in risk-taking, crime and injection-related health problems across all treatment groups, and less marked reductions among the non-treatment group. Psychopathology was dramatically reduced among the treatment modalities, while remaining stable among the non-treatment group. Positive outcomes at 1 year were associated with a greater number of cumulative treatment days experienced over the 1 year follow-up period ("treatment dose") and fewer treatment episodes undertaken in that time ("treatment stability"). Conclusions At 1 year, there were impressive reductions in drug use, criminality, psychopathology and injection-related health problems following treatment exposure. The positive findings were associated with a greater "dose" of treatment, and with more treatment stability over the follow-up period. (Review's abstract).

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus METHADONE ; TROUBLES DE LA PERSONNALITE ; DEPENDANCE ; PSYCHOPATHOLOGIE ; ABUS ; TENTATIVE DE SUICIDE ; OPIACES ; COMORBIDITE ; HEROINE Résumé : In order to examine the effects of a diagnosis of childhood conduct disorder (CD) on history of attempted suicide and drug use, unconfounded by early onset heroin use, 181 methadone maintenance patients who commenced heroin use after the age of 15 were interviewed. CD was diagnosed in 54% of patients. Compared to other patients, CD patients were younger and less educated. The onset of drug use, injecting drug use and heroin use occurred, on average, 2 years earlier than in other patients, and they had broader histories of injecting polydrug use. CD patients were more likely to have attempted suicide and to have been hospitalized after an attempt, and to have attempted suicide while enrolled in their current treatment. The current study indicates that a history of CD increases the risk of attempted suicide over and above the higher risks associated with injecting drug use per se. (Review's abstract).

Design Two cross-sectional national surveys assessing substance use and DSM-IV substance dependence in the USA and Australia. Setting and participants Age-matched cohorts (18-54 years old) were selected from nationally representative Australian (National Survey of Mental Health and Well-being, 1997, n = 7570) and American (National Comorbidity Survey, 1992, n = 7423) household surveys. Measurements Both studies utilised a structured interview based on the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Findings The 12-months prevalence of alcohol use was substantially higher in Australia (77,2 %) than in the U.S. (46,3 %) and the rates of alcohol dependence were also higher in Australia, although rates of alcohol dependence conditional on use were similar (6,8 and 6,5 %, respectively). In contrast, although rates of use of drugs were similar in the two countries, rates of drug dependence and the probability of dependence conditional on use were higher in Australia than in the U.S. Importantly, the absence of significant interactions between correlates of alcohol and drug use disorders and country indicated that the influence of these factors was consistent across the two countries. Conclusions Despite relatively similar cultural influences in Australia and the U.S. interesting cross-national differences emerged in the use of alcohol and drug dependence among those who used drugs and treatment seeking among people diagnosed with dependence. The cross-national generalizability of the associations between common coRErrelates and rates of alcohol and drug use and dependence indicates that similar process of vulnerability to dependence may be operating in the two countries.

Participants were 825 current heroin users recruited from Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne : 277 entering methadone/buprenorphine maintenance treatment (MT), 288 entering detoxification (DTX), 180 entering drug-free residential rehabilitation (RR) and 80 not in treatment (NT). Treatment entrants were generally long-term heroin users with previous treatment experience. The majority of the sample (55 %) were criminally active in the month preceding interview. Injection-related health problems (74 %) and a history of heroin overdose (58 %) were commonly reported. There were high degrees of psychiatric co-morbidity, with 49 % reporting severe psychological distress, 28 % having current major depression, 37 % having attempted suicide and 42 % having a lifetime history of post-traumatic stress disorder. Personality disorders were also prevalent, with 72 % meeting criteria for antisocial personality disorder and 47 % screening positive for borderline personality disorder. Striking similarities were noted between the non-treatment and treatment groups in length of heroin use career, drug use and treatment histories. (Review's abstract).

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus INJECTION ; PRISE EN CHARGE ; SNIFFER ; TRAITEMENT ; VOIE D'ADMINISTRATION ; FUMER ; COMPARAISON ; HEROINE Descripteurs géographiques AUSTRALIE Résumé : A sample of 535 entrants to opioid dependence treatments across three treatment modalities were administered a structured interview to ascertain the prevalence of non-injecting heroin use. Ten per cent of participants had used heroin primarily by smoking/inhaling in the month preceding interview, and 9% had used heroin and other drugs exclusively by non-injecting routes. Non-injectors were younger (25.3 vs. 29.5 years), had higher levels of education (10.6 vs. 10.0 years), were more likely to be employed (33 vs. 18%) and had lower levels of recent crime (31 vs. 56%). They also had shorter heroin using careers (5.1 vs. 9.9 years), fewer symptoms of dependence (5.1 vs. 5.6), had been enrolled in fewer previous treatment episodes (3.3 vs. 11.5) and had less extensive lifetime (8.0 vs. 9.1 drug classes) and recent (3.6 vs. 4.9) polydrug use. Non-injectors were substantially less likely to report lifetime (13% vs. 58%) or recent (2% vs. 29%) heroin overdoses. There were no differences between the general physical and psychological health of the two groups. While non-injectors had a lower level of post-traumatic stress disorder (29% vs. 34%), there were no differences in levels of major depression, attempted suicide, antisocial personality disorder, or borderline personality disorder. A substantial minority of Australian treatment entrants are now using heroin exclusively by non-injecting routes. While this group is younger, and has substantially reduced risk of overdose and blood borne virus transmission, the physical and psychological health of non-injectors mirrors that of injectors.
