Tobacco Free Initiative Programme

Contains papers and photographs from the Tobacco Free Initiative Programme.

In 2002, the World Health Organisation, Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO) commissioned the International Centre for Drug Policy (ICDP) at St George's, University of London to deliver a comprehensive training programme on tobacco free initiatives for senior medical practitioners and senior advisors in public health and tobacco programmes from the Middle Eastern countries.

The overall aim of the Programme was to enhance knowledge of the participants in a range of skills and interventions relating to tobacco free initiatives including smoking cessation and to provide them with resources to reduce smoking prevalence and related diseases within their home countries. Each programme was designed to reflect the specified learning needs of the participants as advised by EMRO and was structured around four broad themes made up of relevant sessions, each with learning aims:

· An introduction and overview of smoking and health
· National Policy, Strategy and Programmes
· Service Development
· Service Level Interventions

Herbal Medicine in the Treatment of Addictions

Includes reports and other papers relating to the herbal medicine in the treatment of addictions project.

Project background:
The issue of herbal medicine was brought to the attention of the Home Secretary by a member of his constituency in regards to the efficacy of the herbal medicine utilised in the treatment of heroin addiction. The Home Office had communication from other interested individuals requesting the possibility of clinical trials to be undertaken in the UK. The Home Office approached the International Centre for Drug Policy (ICDP) at St George's to ascertain what could be possible in the UK in the interim. It was agreed that an expert group would be held, giving members the responsibility of drawing up recommendations for an action plan for future investigations. The expert group were to consider all forms of herbal medicine relating to the treatment of drug, alcohol and tobacco addiction.

Croydon Alcohol Interventions Project

Contains papers from the Croydon Alcohol Interventions Project.

Set up in c.2008 through social inclusion funding, the aim of the project was to develop a programme of training on screening and brief interventions on alcohol for staff in Accident & Emergency settings at the Mayday Hospital, including the minor injuries unit and relevant mental health wards at the Bethlem Royal Hospital as used by Croydon residents; GP practices and health care staff.

The main activities of the project were as follows:

· To identify, assess, and gather data on the training needs of key health staff in GP Surgeries, Accident and Emergency/Minor Injuries Unit and Mental Health inpatient wards at Mayday Hospital.

· To deliver appropriate training packages and support for health professionals specified above on brief interventions and screening for people at risk from alcohol harm.

· To develop knowledge of the impact of alcohol upon specific diseases and specialities, such as pregnancy, liver disease, violence, and accidents

· To advise on appropriate tools and other resources for use in screening in a variety of settings, including the prioritising of medical and psychosocial problems associated with alcohol misuse.

· To build capacity for local training to be undertaken within Croydon’s Health structures.

With increased identification of alcohol misuse and the delivery of brief interventions for alcohol users within GP practices, A & E and wards, it was anticipated that this would have an impact on the workflow within A&E.

Trends in Volatile Substance Abuse (VSA)

Contains reports on Trends in Volatile Substance Abuse (VSA). This work was transferred to ICDP in c.2009.

The scope of the work was to provide a basis for policy makers and professionals to assess the effectiveness of interventions intended to address the problem of VSA. ICDP was required to publish an annual statistical summary of data in trends in deaths associated with the deliberate inhalation of volatile substances.

The reports include data on the numbers of death associated with volatile substance abuse, broken down by age, gender, local authority area of residence, substance abused and method of administration. They also include commentary on trends in data and key findings.

European Collaborating Centres in Addiction Studies (ECCAS)

Papers relating to St George's, University of London involvement with the European Collaborating Centres in Addiction Studies.

Background:
Although formally named only in 1992, ECCAS was established in 1988/1989. Its origins and subsequent development can be traced back to discussions, held with officers of the European Commission in 1987/1988, identifying the need for a collaborative study to investigate the treatment of opiate addiction, using the substitute drug methadone, for the following reasons:

1 . The existence of wide differences in treatment regimes for opiate dependent individuals throughout the European Union. These differences were fuelled by controversy surrounding the side-effects of methadone, its abuse liability and dependence potential.

  1. The absence of sufficiently large samples.
  2. Differences in culture and drug legislation in Europe.

To carry out a study of this magnitude it was further understood that the research group would, in the first instance, need to develop standardised instruments, capable of collecting data from ten European countries.

Over the next three years ECCAS continued to hold discussions with the European Commission and finally in 1991 a contract was signed for the first Multi Centre Study in Europe to investigate 'Methadone Substitution Therapy and its Impact on HIV Risk Behaviours’.

After this first collaborative piece of work, ECCAS began welcoming new members to its growing group, developing other areas of interest such as training/education, and providing an environment in which members could discuss with colleagues across Europe a range of issues such as research, education and clinical treatment protocols. With an already established code of practice, ECCAS formalised its constitution at its 3rd Annual Assembly in Paris, France in April 1995.
