摘要:

SummaryIn 1986 three government agencies and two research councils put £50,000 towards an exploratory study of research into illicit drugs. The Home Office, Department of Health, Scottish Home and Health Department, Medical Research Council and Economic and Social Research Council funded an exercise designed to point to where more research was needed and to propose a practical programme. In June 1987, the funding partners decided not to fund a co‐ordinated programme of research. I was consultant scientific secretary on this aborted Drug Addiction Research Initiative. This article will survey what the initiative was; its findings and proposals for future development; and the problems inherent in this type of exercise, in particular for illicit drugs. I am grateful to the members of the Initiative funding consortium for allowing me to express my views and to draw on the report which was prepared; the views expressed here are, of course, my o

摘要:

SummaryRecently, there has been increased attention to the validity of self‐reported alcohol use. Yet, much of the literature appears to be inappropriately seeking the definitive answer to a relative question, e.g. are self‐reports of alcohol use valid?. The literature on the validity of self‐reported alcohol use was reviewed with a primary focus on concurrent criterion‐oriented validity. Validity studies using collateral reports, diaries, official records, different interviewing methods, laboratory tests and multiple measures were assessed. It is concluded that research on the validity of self‐reported alcohol use should emphasize the interactions of the respondent, the interviewer, the information being obtained and the context of the interview to determine under which conditions valid responses can be maximized. Further, research on validity should focus on specific processes involved in providing accurate responses. Emphasis should be placed on developing a range of strategies and determining their appropriateness for obtaining more accurate reports from specific po

摘要:

SummaryTwo recent studies estimating the economic cost of alcohol‐related health care in New Zealand are critically assessed. It is suggested that some estimates are based on unscientific methods, and that estimated costs substantially over‐emphasize the net impact of alcohol abuse on properly‐defined net expenditures of the health system. To the extent that they are comprehensive, even the overstated estimated health costs appear to fall far short of indirect tax revenue extracted from alcohol users, including non‐
