La gestion des contingences (GC) est un traitement psychologique basé sur le conditionnement opérant. Il consiste à fournir des incitations en échange de l’atteinte d’un comportement cible tel que l’abstinence ou d’autres variables liées au traitement (par exemple, la participation aux séances, l’observance du traitement). L’objectif de cet article était d’introduire la justification de la MC pour la consommation de substances et, plus précisément, pour l’abandon du tabac. Un nombre croissant de publications empiriques soutient la MC comme un traitement efficace pour cesser de fumer à la fois...

"‘I’m just getting the impression I have to sort myself out’: How people with co-occurring heavy alcohol use and depression describe the care they receive in a fragmented health system - a qualitative study" by Dr Kat Jackson & Dr Amy O’Donnell from Newcastle University.

La consommation de substances et les besoins en santé mentale sont deux des principales préoccupations de nombreuses personnes aux prises avec de multiples désavantages. Nous savons que les personnes qui éprouvent les deux problèmes en même temps (également appelées « affections concomitantes » ou « double diagnostic ») trouvent difficile, voire impossible, d’accéder au soutien adapté à leurs besoins.

Cependant, malgré ces préoccupations, le soutien approprié aux personnes souffrant de maladies concomitantes reste un défi non résolu pour de nombreuses régions. Sans un soutien approprié, la...

La recherche a montré que la consommation d’alcool et les troubles mentaux courants coexistent; Cependant, on sait peu de choses sur la façon dont la prévalence mondiale de la consommation d’alcool se compare à différents troubles mentaux.

Cette revue a examiné :

(i) rapporter des associations mondiales de consommation d’alcool (trouble lié à la consommation d’alcool (AUD), consommation excessive d’alcool et consommation) comparant les personnes atteintes et non de troubles mentaux communs

(ii) comment cela différait entre les personnes atteintes et non de types spécifiques de troubles...

Abstract

Background and Aims

Research has shown that alcohol use and common mental disorders co-occur; however, little is known about how the global prevalence of alcohol use compares across different common mental disorders. The aim of this study was to (i) report global associations of alcohol use (alcohol use disorder, binge drinking and consumption) compare those with and without common mental disorders, (ii) examine how this differed among those with and without specific types of common mental disorders and (iii) examine how results may differ by study characteristics.

This document provides guidance for UNHCR staff and partners on protecting the rights of older persons in situations of forced displacement or statelessness.

When responding to the phases of forced displacement (flight, displacement, return, resettlement or integration), UNHCR staff and partners need to ensure that older persons’ rights to independence, participation, self-fulfilment, dignity, and care are met without discrimination. To do this, teams should develop a thorough understanding of both the needs and capacities of older persons in displaced populations.

Systematic application of...

This guide is for anyone who experiences stress, ranging from parents and...

Drinking alcohol can increase someone's risk of dying by suicide. This is connected to both the impact of long-term alcohol use and the immediate effects of drinking.

Samaritans and Suicide Prevention Consortium have conducted research exploring what the relationship between alcohol and suicide looks like for people living in England, in their own words.

Key findings:

• There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’. The best support people received acknowledged their personal circumstances and made them feel trusted and listened to. Unfortunately, many people did not receive this level of care.
• For many...
