RESUMO

Extensive evaluation studies show that methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) reduces heroin use and associated problems in a cost-effective manner, without negative public health impact. MMT is limited by inadequate funding and understanding of relevant research, extensive regulation, and limits on the freedom of physicians to provide methadone in a variety of medical settings. Broad-based medical, public health, and scientific support exists for expansion of MMT with greater emphasis on consistency and quality, and provision of ancillary services. Programs for the exchange, free distribution, and legal pharmacy sale of needles and syringes reduce injection drug use and prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens; drug abuse treatment and other services are important components. Neither strategy increases existing drug use nor leads to drug use initiation. The scientific literature supports assertions that drug abuse issues should be treated primarily as medical and public health rather than criminal justice issues. The effectiveness of both strategies warrants increased support for services, easing of federal and state restrictions governing their availability, and advocacy in their support.

RESUMO

The Drug Information, Assessment and Decisions for Schools (DIADS) is a computer-based information and decisions support system for the development of school drug abuse prevention programs. DIADS provides access to a cost-effective planning resource that has information to programs about alcohol, other drugs, and prevention. Also, DIADS helps the school assess the effectiveness of its current prevention efforts using an expert-generated school assessment model containing fourteen factors. Feedback from the assessment provides suggestions for improvements in current prevention programs. DIADS guides the selection of future activities and helps in program planning. Pilot test of DIADS at several sites indicates school personnel find the information on DIADS helpful, timely and easy to access.
