The present study examined the associations between cannabis use in adolescence and young adulthood and self-reported adult attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in adulthood. Methods. A 25-year prospective longitudinal study of the health, development, and adjustment of a birth cohort of 1265 New Zealand children. Measures included assessments of adolescent and young adult cannabis use and ADHD symptoms at age 25, measures of childhood socioeconomic disadvantage, family adversity, childhood and early adolescent behavioural adjustment and cognitive ability, and adolescent and young adult other drug use. Results. Cannabis use by age 25 was significantly (p < .0001) associated with increasing self-reported adult ADHD symptoms at age 25. Adjustment of the association for potentially confounding factors from childhood and early adolescence reduced the magnitude of the association, but it remained statistically significant (p < .0001). However, control for the mediating effects of other drug use in adolescence and early adulthood reduced the association between cannabis use and adult ADHD symptoms to statistical non-significance (p > .20). Conclusions. The current study suggested that the association between cannabis use and adult ADHD symptoms was mediated by other substance use that was associated with cannabis use. The results suggest that cannabis use leads to other drug use, which in turn leads to increased ADHD symptoms. However, it should be noted that the potential influence of such factors as genetic predispositions may still be unaccounted for. (Review's abstract).

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus PRIX ; CANNABIS ; ECONOMIE ; MARCHE DE LA DROGUE Descripteurs géographiques NOUVELLE ZELANDE Résumé : New data collected on the procurement and purchase of cannabis in the 2001 New Zealand National Drug Survey are used to estimate the dollar value of the illicit market for cannabis as well conduct other economic analyses of the illicit purchase of cannabis in New Zealand. Eighty-four per cent of last-year cannabis users received at least some of their cannabis "free", 38 % "bought" at least some of their cannabis, while only 8 % grew any of their supply. By proportion of the total dollar value of the cannabis market, sales of "tinnies" (1,5 g) had the biggest share of the market (30 %), followed closely by $50 bags (4 g) (29 %) and ounces (28 g) (26 %). The average price paid per gram of cannabis fell steadily from $20.50 per gram for a joint to $5.63 per gram for a pound ($NZ). The distribution of spending on cannabis was positively skewed (average $1313, median $400, mode $100, range $5-55200, interquartile range $100-1200) ($NZ). The bottom 50 % of cannabis buyers spent a median amount on cannabis of $100 a year while the top 5 % spent a median amount of $7425 a year ($NZ). The dollar value of the illicit cannabis market was estimated to be $190 million ($131-249 million) ($NZ). Three limitations are acknowledged with the market estimate calculated : (i) the truncated age range of the survey data (13-45 years) ; (ii) the likely underestimation of heavy cannabis use in household drug surveys ; (iii) a degree of "double-counting" when the same cannabis is bought and sold a number of times.

The publication of New Zealand norms in 1999 enabled comparisons of the health of the Methadone Treatment Programme study participants with that of the New Zealand population. Although over 50% of participants rated their health as good, very good or excellent, 44% rated their health as fair or poor and compared with population norms, the health of the study participants was significantly poorer on all eight SF-36 scales. Male and female participants rated their health similarly to male and female clients attending another New Zealand Methadone Treatment Programme. Results highlighted the impact of a chronic disorder and co-existing health-related problems on the health and well-being and day-to-day functioning of this client group. Higher frequency of benzodiazepine use was associated with poorer social functioning, mental health and role functioning and higher frequency of cannabis use was associated with poorer role functioning due to emotional problems. Findings support routine monitoring of health status with clients receiving methadone maintenance treatment as a guide to preventative and treatment interventions and health maintenance strategies.

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and correlates of alcohol-related risky and unwanted sexual experiences. We conducted a web-based survey of a random sample of university students, asking about specific experiences resulting from their own drinking or the drinking of others, and some beliefs about drinking. A total of 1564 students responded (82%) and the following were reported as the result of drinking, by women and men respectively, in the last 3 months: unprotected sex 11% and 15%; sex they were not happy with at the time 6% and 7%; sex later regretted 16% and 19%. Also, 34% of women and 25% of men reported unwanted sexual advances in the past 4 weeks as a result of other people's drinking. These experiences were all associated positively with Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores of the respondents, certain types of living arrangements and specific attitudes to drinking. In addition, 1% of women and 0.5% of men reported sexual assault in the past 4 weeks. Interventions to reduce alcohol-related risky sexual behaviours should target both male and female drinkers and identifiable subgroups at higher risk. Prevention policy should also address the high levels of availability and promotion of alcohol in the campus environment. (Review's abstract).

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus INJECTION ; HEPATITE ; GREFFE ; USAGER ; SEROPOSITIVITE ; TRAITEMENT ; CANCER ; CIRRHOSE ; COUT Descripteurs géographiques NOUVELLE ZELANDE Résumé : This paper estimates future health service costs of the current practice in New Zealand of not funding treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Costs are estimated separately for Maori and non-Maori, male and female IDUs. Markov modelling is used to track the infection and progression of HCV to severe liver disease and death, and accumulated costs are estimated for the life of the cohort. Upper and lower estimates of costs are calculated based on different assumptions of the rate of progression of HCV to more severe liver disease. Costs are estimated at $24.6 million per 1000 non-Maori men IDUs (discounted at 3%), under progression assumptions based on liver clinic studies, compared with $10.3 million per 1000 using lower rates of progression based on community studies. Similarly, corresponding costs for non-Maori women are estimated at $27.6 million and $11.2 million per 1000 IDUs. Costs for women are higher because their greater life expectancy is associated with more cases of liver cirrhosis (LC) at older ages. Future costs for Maori are lower than non-Maori, because Maori are more likely to die at younger ages and hence fewer progress to more advanced liver disease. The current situation in New Zealand of not treating HCV infections will result in considerable future costs as some people with HCV progress to more severe liver disease. Provisional estimates are that the accumulated costs of HCV-related liver disease for all IDUs currently infected will be between $166 million at lower rates of disease progression (discounted at 3%) to $400 million at upper rates. Some of the associated morbidity and mortality could have been avoided if the HCV infections had been treated. (Review's abstract).

Although banned in a number of countries, they are currently legally available in New Zealand where they are marketed as 'safe' alternatives' to 'illicit' drugs often used in the dance scene such as MDMA and amphetamines. The authors describe the availability and use of these substances in New Zealand, summarize what is known about their effects, and speculate on harm reduction interventions and mechanisms of control and their possible sequelae. The paper provides a timely account of an emerging drug issue of relevance to harm reduction internationally. (Review's abstract).

Les résultats de la première année sont modestes : peu de crédits ont été alloués au programme transversal de lutte contre le cannabis et les drogues dures, il n'y a pas eu de création de postes d'acteurs de promotion de la santé, ni d'augmentation de la capacité d'accueil en traitememt.

There is a variety of methods of preparation that can be used by people with opiate dependence, with patterns of use determined by numerous factors including cost, safety, potency and legal status. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and nature of poppy seed tea (PST) use by opiate-dependent patients in the form of a written questionnaire. The study took place at the Community Alcohol and Drug Clinic, Wellington, New Zealand, and comprised 24 opiate-dependent patients attending the clinic. A total of 11 of 24 (46 %) patients reported having used PST. In five patients currently using PST it represented the major source of opiates, and two had managed to withdraw from use of other opiates with regular PST use. Patients reported a median onset of action of 15 minures and an effect lasting a median of 24 hours. The major limitation of PST use was the foul taste. PST is used commonly by opiate-dependent patients attending an alcohol and drug clinic in New Zealand. The use of PST as the major source of opiates could be considered favourably within 'harm reduction' philosophies, because of its low cost, legal availability and oral route of administration. Conversely, there is the potential for PST to act as a 'gateway drug' by inducing opioid dependence and introducing people to the culture of drug abuse. (Review's abstract).

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Thésaurus EFFICACITE ; HEPATITE ; USAGER ; TRAITEMENT ; COMPARAISON ; COUT Descripteurs géographiques NOUVELLE ZELANDE Résumé : The cost-effectiveness of hepatitis C virus (HCV) anti-viral therapy for injecting drug users (IDUs) on methadone maintenance is important because the majority have chronic infections that remain untreated. Cost-effectiveness analysis examines the costs of treatment compared with the benefits, which in this study are defined as savings in life. The cost-effectiveness of treatment for HCV infection is investigated for Mäori and non-Mäori IDUs on methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) in New Zealand. Markov models are used to model cohorts of IDUs, changes in their health states and the effects of MMT and anti-viral therapy on morbidity and mortality. Comparisons were made between conventional combination therapy (COT) and combination therapy with pegylated interferon. Sensitivity analysis is used to model cost-effectiveness of treatment under varying assumptions of progression of liver disease and compliance with treatment. The cost-effectiveness of MMT alone was estimated at $25 397 per life year saved (LYS) for non-Mäori men and $25 035 for non-Mäori women IDUs (costs and benefits discounted at 3%). The incremental effects of providing COT to all eligible patients were to save extra years of life, as well as to involve additional costs of anti-viral therapy. Analysis of both the incremental costs and benefits showed that a policy of providing COT to all patients meeting treatment criteria would have similar cost-effectiveness to MMT alone. Costs per LYS were estimated to be lower for Mäori for both men and women, reflecting ethnic differences in mortality. Cost-effectiveness was found to improve if the average age of stabilizing on MMT could be lowered by 5 years from the current average age of 31 years to age 26. Cost-effectiveness of the new treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin was found to be similar to that of COT. (Review's abstract).

To report patterns of use of ready to drinks (RTDs) and to assess if RTD consumers have heavier drinking patterns. RTDs were introduced in 1995. Method. Data from a general population sample of 7201 respondents aged 14-65 years, in New Zealand in 2004, were modelled. Results. Nineteen per cent of respondents consumed RTDs. Respondents aged 14-17 and 18-24 years and females were the largest consumers of RTDs. Compared to beer, wine or spirits, being an RTD consumer predicted (1) higher typical occasion quantities for respondents aged 14-17, 18-24 and 25+ years and (2) heavier drinking for those aged 14-17 and 18-24 years. When amounts of beverages consumed were modelled, quantity of RTDs predicted higher typical occasion quantities among females of all ages. Among males beer was more predictive. Similar results were found for the heavier drinking measure. For 14-17-year-old females, RTDs consumption predicted higher annual frequency, but for the other females and males the amount of wine or beer consumed predicted higher frequency. Conclusion. RTDs were most popular among young people aged 14-17 years, and females. RTDs predicted higher typical occasion alcohol consumption and heavier drinking better than any other beverage for females aged 14-17 years. For the other age and gender groups, other beverages predicted higher quantity and frequency consumption. (Review's abstract).

Screening and brief intervention (SBI) for alcohol consumption in primary care have been shown to be effective in reducing drinking. This role has not been taken up by community pharmacists. This study aimed to explore attitudes, knowledge, barriers and incentives towards involvement of community pharmacists in New Zealand with problem drinkers. Method. A postal survey (three mailshots) of community pharmacies was undertaken in Auckland, New Zealand, followed by a 10% random sample non-responder-follow-up. Results. A response rate of 39.1% to the postal survey was obtained. In general, knowledge of alcohol content of drinks and recommended safe drinking limits was poor. Respondents were generally well motivated towards undertaking this role, but lacked knowledge, skills and confidence. On follow-up, non-responders were found to be less knowledgeable, but had similar attitudes to respondents, indicating potential for extrapolation with regard to beliefs and views on this subject. Discussion. This novel study has found that there is potential for involvement of community pharmacists in New Zealand in SBI for problem drinkers. Lack of knowledge can be remedied relatively easily; greater hurdles such as lack of skills, and lack of confidence may be offset by the high level of motivation of this group. This is an area where community pharmacists can further their professional scope of practice by being in an essential position to provide this service. (Review's abstract).

Furthermore, adolescent rates of use appear to be significant. Whilst the non-acute effect of cannabis use on adult cognition has been extensively researched, there has been less examination of adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the non-acute relationship between cannabis and cognitive function in a sample of adolescents with a continuum of cannabis use, taking into account additional predictor variables (psychiatric functioning, general functioning, demographics and other drug use). Seventy adolescents were recruited from clinical and community sources as well as through newspaper advertisements. After 12 hours abstinence from cannabis, adolescents completed a two-hour interview covering : demographics ; alcohol and drug use history ; drug use in the past 28 days ; depression; further psychiatric functioning (including ADHD and Conduct Disorder) ; and cognitive functioning as measured by computerised tasks (CANTAB) and traditional pen and paper tests. Adolescents who were regular cannabis users (more than once a week) had a significantly poorer performance on four measures of cognitive function reflecting attention, spatial working memory and learning. Cannabis use remained an independent predictor of performance on the working memory and strategy measures after additional predictor variables were included in a multivariate regression analysis. The results suggest that aspects of adolescent cognitive function are independently related to the frequency of cannabis use beyond acute intoxication. (Review's abstract).
