摘要:

SummaryA participant observation study of the Piccadilly drug scene is described. A thriving market in diverted illicit drugs exists around this area, much of it an overspill from Drug Dependency Units and general practitioner prescribing. The economic organization of this market is described, the role of the dealers and runners, and the characteristics of the buyers. The nature and origins of the Piccadilly subculture are discussed, and its functional meaning. Public Health implications are also considered.

摘要:

SummaryThis research reports longitudinal changes in drinking practices which occurred in two communities in the Shetland Islands since the development of the oil industry in the Islands began. The‘target’community was directly affected by the oil development; the‘comparison’community was located in a protected zone where no oil development could take place. Increases in mean alcohol consumption were twice as large in the target area as in the comparison area. In both communities, increases were largely concentrated among those less than 30 years old. Frequency rather than quantity was the component of drinking which increased. Beer is the beverage whose consumption increased most. The association between the rapid social change occurring in Shetland and the above results is analyzed. The implications for developing governmental responses to health problems and formulating alcohol control policies is also di

摘要:

SummaryThis article rests on the assumption that effective intervention into alcohol abuse and alcoholism in Australia (and elsewhere) requires greater emphasis on prevention through balanced social policy measures rather than on individual treatment through medically oriented programmes. By means of a household survey of the 12th largest city in Australia (the country with the highest per capita alcohol consumption among all English speaking countries) the pattern of support for various intervention alternatives is analysed. Next, groups which provide or withhold support for these strategies are identified. Finally the support for such hypothetical controls is compared with actual support for existing control measures in other realms of social life. On this basis specific action recommendations are offered.

摘要:

SummaryIn the autumn of 1978 the workers at the Norwegian Wine and Spirits Monopoly went on strike. The strike lasted nine weeks. The result of the strike was a complete standstill in the deliveries of alcoholic beverages to the Monopoly's retail outlets and to licensed premises. All through the strike beer was on sale as usual. The most striking effect of the strike was the rather rapid adjustment to the new supply conditions. For most people the strike did not have any effects on the quantity consumed. The consumption of a little group of alcoholics, however, was strongly affected. The strike affected offences which for a large part are executed by far‐gone alcoholics, especially skid‐row residents. However, the strike did not seem to have had any similar demonstrable effect on offences which do not so strongly correlate with the alcohol consumption among skid‐row

摘要:

SummaryTwo parallel investigations were conducted to assess the involvement of alcohol in police work. In the first, all persons arrested were asked whether they had taken alcohol in the four hours prior to the commission of their offence. The results confirm the belief that a considerable proportion of police work is alcohol, related. In the second study, the effect of a new polity on the supervision of licensed premises was assessed. The results indicated that this new practice may have been responsible for a drop in the commission of illegal behaviours. The implications of both studies, in terms of police practice and education of police officers about alcohol, are considered.

摘要:

SummaryA group of 22 volunteers who smoked daily more than 20‘high’nicotine (0.8 to 1.1 mg) Canadian cigarettes were switched to lower yield brands in two stages aver an eight‐week period. The control group (six subjects) switched brands with nicotine yields within ± 0.1 mg of their usual brand while the treatment group smoked reduced yield brands (first stage, 33% reduction; second stage 61% reduction).all averages for levels of blood carboxyhemoglobin, plasma thiocyanate and serum cotinine were found to change significantly from week to week but there was no discernible difference between the treatment and the control group in week to week pattern. Although the majority of smokers in this study did not increase their exposure to cigarette smoke by smoking low yield cigarettes, it can not be said that the switch resulted in ‘safer
