Miovský, M., Černíková, T., Kalina, K., & Nováková, E. (2023). Quality assurance policy in harm reduction services in the Czech Republic: A case study of a national system. Adiktologie, 23(1), 17–29. https://doi.org/10.35198/01-2023-002-0006

BACKGROUND: In the field of harm reduction (HR), an established quality assurance system with implemented quality standards is rather rare in practice. Together with limited evidence in this area, this leads to an imbalance in the basic segments of drug demand reduction and their lack of compatibility and alignment in terms of therapeutic continuity.

AIMS: The paper presents case study analysis of the context and a description of the original quality management system in harm reduction at the national level.

METHODS: The case study design is based on a narrative review from a search of...

INTRODUCTION: The high rate of substance use highlights the need to intervene in the initial use prevention of smoking tobacco. The aim was to determine the efficacy of anti-smoking messages to motivate smoking cessation.

METHODS: It was hypothesised that the messages would reduce the frequency of smoking. The influence of the messages on the intention to smoke, negative emotions, perceived self-efficacy, and health behaviour was also measured. Relevant reliable and valid questionnaires were used to collect data for this experimental study.

RESULTS: In this study mean differences were...

BACKGROUND: Adolescence is one of the most important stages in a human life. This period is full of different stimuli and types of influence – from parents, peers, and society. It is related to greater susceptibility to problematic behaviour and to impulsivity. Because of that it is important to explore the topic of impulsivity and impulsive behaviour.

METHODS: This study addresses impulsivity in adolescents using a Czech questionnaire survey method, the Scale of Impulsivity Dolejš & Skopal (SIDS). It also empirically verifies the functionality of the scale and points out its psychometric...

In the present global health situation, in which running face-to-face training seminars is extremely difficult, the most feasible option is through online learning.

BACKGROUND:

Leisure can be a context that can promote positive adolescent development, but it can also be a context that contributes to adolescents engaging in risk behaviours.

AIMS:

The aim of this study is to determine the extent to which sociodemographic characteristics, the frequency of adolescent participation in structured leisure activities (SLA), and the type of SLA contribute to adolescent alcohol use and to examine the moderating effects of gender, age, and type of SLA on the relationship between the frequency of adolescent participation in SLA and adolescent alcohol use.

A PARADIGM SHIFT

Mohamed Omar - 5 August 2022

Dear comrades,

I would like assistance in publishing a school of thought that inclines to view addiction as a habitual construct focusing on how redundant and automatic set of cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns acquired by repetition, culminates a state where the body becomes better at executing obsessive compulsive behaviors than the mind.

My objective is to augment the notion that the hijacked brain during active use not only encompasses neurobiological changes in brain chemistry and structure, but also includes positively re-enforced behaviors that results in self-...
